Abstract��OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the economics of saxagliptin for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, NHS EED, CNKI, Wanfang and CBM were systematically searched. Literatures were screened according to pre-defined inclusion criteria. The quality of included studies were evaluated by CHEERS statement and the economic RESULTS were systematically analyzed. RESULTS Eight cost-effectiveness analyses were included, one of which was conducted in China. Patients among the studies all had blood glucose non-adeguately controlled by monotherapy. When added on to metformin, saxagliptin was cost-effective compared with sulfonylureas (glipizide and glimepiride) and thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone and rosiglitazone). When added on to metformin or sulfonylureas, saxagliptin was cost-effective compared with NPH insulin. CONCLUSION Saxagliptin represents a cost-effective option in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with non-adequately controlled blood glucose after monotherapy.
