“…Studies identified for quantitative analysis in the systematic review (N = 25) represented six low-income countries (LIC) [16,[28][29][30][31][32], nine lower-middle-income countries (LMIC) [18,19,30,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], and five uppermiddle-income countries (UMIC) [13,17,[45][46][47], as classified by the World Bank's income groups in 2018 [25]. While most studies reported using societal perspective (22/25, 88%) in measuring cost [13, 17-19, 29-32, 34-37, 39, 41-49], we observed a wide variation in use of term societal perspective across those studies.…”
