Economic considerations for resuscitative interventions in the immediate newborn period

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

We present a systematic scoping review of the literature, which documents that only a very small number of interventions related to delivery room stabilization and resuscitation have been studied for their economic impact. Published analyses are mostly of programmatic interventions such as resuscitation training programs, are mostly in low-resource settings, and are of variable methodological quality. Investigators who are conducting clinical studies of delivery room interventions can address these deficiencies in the literature by engaging with health services researchers to assess economic outcomes alongside those studies. We provide a framework of five questions that clinical researchers may use to decide on when such an ancillary study is indicated, and to provide them with the necessary language to discuss the methodological details of potential evaluations with their health services colleagues. Emphasis should be given to interventions that are targeted to high volumes of patients, are expensive, or are likely to lead to changes in costly chronic outcomes.
