Description
Foos and colleagues lay the groundwork for health economic models of a combined syndrome. The models treat cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome as one unified condition rather than three diseases kept apart. Current models miss the value of joined care for the linked problems. They read past work for the syndrome's key body drivers and how they connect to health outcomes.
The team boiled that evidence down into a body framework. They slimmed it into an influence diagram lean enough to guide actual model building. Doctors, economists, and model builders checked both products round after round and fed back, until the structure settled for the group's needs. The authors argue a long-term, whole-picture, flexible model has become feasible as evidence builds up. Gaps in the data remain. Their aim is a shared picture that supports evidence-based decisions for a syndrome they call a global public health crisis.
