Schuetz P, et al. Impact of nutrition interventions for malnourished patients: Introduction to health economics and outcomes research with findings from nutrition care studies. Nutr Clin Pract. 2024;39(6):1329-1342.

This 2024 review summarizes how health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) tools are used to measure health impacts, including illness burden, intervention effects, and the value of nutrition interventions in terms of health and cost outcomes. It briefly discusses study designs for economic analysis and reviews research applying HEOR methods to assess the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and savings of nutrition care, particularly for older adults and individuals with chronic conditions.
