Additionally to the primary outcomes on efficacy/effectiveness and safety, the results provided in economic evaluations (cost-effectiveness and budgetary impact) could be a crucial source to be used by health care provider for the purpose of decision making [23].
Ten studies are classified as full economic evaluations (cost-effectiveness analyses [ 19- 23] and cost-utility analyses [ 8, 24- 27]; no eligible cost-benefit analyses were identified).
Only full health economic evaluations (cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, cost-benefit analyses) comparing a PET-based strategy with different invasive and non-invasive diagnostic strategies in the clinical work-up of cancer patients were considered for inclusion.
Pubmed and Cinahl databases were searched for all years, limiting the search to English language using the combinations of the following search terms: "economic evaluations", "cost-effectiveness analysis", "cost-benefit analysis" AND "Tanzania".
Any solutions arrived at are therefore always compromises between risk evaluation and cost effectiveness.
Evaluation of cost effectiveness of caregiving services in any LMIC needs to consider the nation's productivity and the cost incurred by the loss of working population.
