Le résumé fourni par la source

AIM: The "2025 AHA/ACC Statement on Cost/Value Methodology in Clinical Practice Guidelines (Update From 2014 Statement)" describes a systematic approach for consistent implementation of "economic value statements" across ACC/AHA guidelines. It updates the cost-effectiveness threshold and proposes a new level of certainty framework that summarizes the strength of the available evidence. Additionally, it describes how cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) can help advance equity in population cardiovascular health. METHODS: A focused literature search was conducted from January 9, 2024, to February 2, 2024, encompassing English-language publications related to CEA methodology in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, with publication dates ranging from 1973 to the present. Additional relevant studies published during the writing process (through June 25, 2024) were also considered by the writing committee. STRUCTURE: This Cost/Value Methodology Statement updates prior guidance regarding the incorporation of evidence from published CEAs into clinical guidelines. It provides guidance for identifying and synthesizing relevant high-quality evidence, developing economic value statements, and communicating level of certainty in such statements. It defines the US cost-effectiveness threshold as $120 000 per quality-adjusted life year gained, highlights special considerations related to cardiovascular drugs and devices, emphasizes health equity considerations when interpreting CEAs, and defines a reference case for future CEAs.
