The disease also imposes a severe social and economic burden on households and health systems and is strongly associated with poverty. This study summarizes the most up-to-date cost of treating severe malaria in children in Africa.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cinahl, and Web of Science databases. Google and Google Scholar were searched for grey literature followed by scanning of the reference lists of the previous systematic reviews. The search was limited to children\u2009&lt;\u200912\u00a0years, malaria-endemic countries in Africa, and the English language. All costs were adjusted to the year 2023.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>19 studies conducted in 12 countries were identified: 14 reported provider costs, and 11 household costs. Out of the 19 studies found, 11 were published before 2018 while 11 reported data that are currently more than ten years old. Studies varied methodologically and in the scope of resources included to estimate the cost. The provider costs ranged from USD 27 in Uganda to USD 165 per patient in Kenya (median value USD 90), while household costs ranged from USD 13 in Kenya to USD 245 per patient in Gabon (median value USD 50). All identified household malaria treatment costs except one represented catastrophic health expenditure, making out more than 10% of the monthly Gross National Income per capita in the respective countries.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Evidence on the cost of treating severe malaria in children in Africa is scarce. However, the few existing studies show that severe malaria in children imposes a significant economic burden on the providers and households. More studies are needed, particularly in high-burden high-impact countries, to inform resource allocation decisions.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12936-024-05173-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,9]],"date-time":"2024-11-09T13:23:43Z","timestamp":1731158623000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cost of treating severe malaria in children in Africa: a systematic literature review"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Amani Thomas","family":"Mori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grace","family":"Mallange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melf-Jakob","family":"K\u00fchl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucy","family":"Okell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"5173_CR1","volume-title":"World malaria report 2023","author":"WHO","year":"2023","unstructured":"WHO.
