This review aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of various diagnostic technologies for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Systematic review of existing economic evaluations
Assessment of study quality and design
Comparison of cost-effectiveness outcomes across studies
Many studies indicated high-quality findings
Heterogeneity limited the synthesis of evidence
Recommendations for consistent methodologies and transparent cost reporting were emphasized

Abstract

While many studies were of high quality, heterogeneity in study objectives, design, and outcomes restricted evidence synthesis. Future research should ensure methodological consistency, transparent cost reporting, and integration of new treatment frameworks to improve the policy relevance and reliability of economic evidence for AD diagnostics.
