Description
Daniel Regan, Nicola Mountford, and Joseph Coughlan reviewed how economists evaluate sepsis care for mothers and newborns in poorer countries in a 2025 paper. Sepsis in this group is a leading cause of preventable death, and good cost studies could guide scarce spending. The team asked how sound the existing studies' methods are.
They found 23 peer-reviewed studies spanning over forty countries. Only five focused on sepsis alone; most folded it into broader care packages. Costing methods, outcome measures, and time frames varied wildly, and many studies were hard to compare or trust. The authors note a few strong examples tied to routine care, and call for clearer, more standard methods to serve decision-makers.
