BACKGROUND Uterine tamponade is widely promoted for treating refractory postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), however its cost-effectiveness may vary depending on unit costs and setting. OBJECTIVE To review available data on cost-effectiveness of uterine tamponade devices when used for PPH treatment. SEARCH STRATEGY PubMed and EMBASE were searched (1980 to January 2020), as well as the National Health Services Economic Evaluation database from inception (1995) to March 2015. SELECTION CRITERIA Eligible studies were any type of economic evaluation, or effectiveness studies that provided cost or economic data. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data and assessed quality. MAIN RESULTS Eleven studies using a range of devices (condom catheter, uterine suction devices, Bakri, Inpress, Ellavi) were identified. Cost of condom catheter devices or kits ranged from US$0.64 to US$6, while purpose-designed devices were up to US$400. Two studies that took a health system perspective assessed cost-effectiveness of using uterine balloon tamponade and suggested it was highly cost-effective due to low cost per disability-adjusted life years (DALY) averted, though both used effect estimates from case series. CONCLUSIONS Evidence on the cost-effectiveness of uterine tamponade devices was limited and not generalizable. Rigorous economic evaluations based on updated effect estimates are needed.
