AB  - The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review of the costing 
      methodological approaches adopted by published cost-of-illness (COI) studies. A 
      systematic review was performed to identify cost-of-illness studies of heart 
      failure published between January 2003 and September 2015 via computerized 
      databases such as Pubmed, Wiley Online, Science Direct, Web of Science, and 
      Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). Costs reported 
      in the original studies were converted to 2014 international dollars (Int$). 
      Thirty five out of 4972 studies met the inclusion criteria. Nineteen out of the 
      35 studies reported the costs as annual cost per patient, ranging from Int$ 
      908.00 to Int$ 84,434.00, while nine studies reported costs as per 
      hospitalization, ranging from Int$ 3780.00 to Int$ 34,233.00. Cost of heart 
      failure increased as condition of heart failure worsened from New York Heart 
      Association (NYHA) class I to NYHA class IV. Hospitalization cost was found to be 
      the main cost driver to the total health care cost. The annual cost of heart 
      failure ranges from Int$ 908 to Int$ 40,971 per patient. The reported cost 
      estimates were inconsistent across the COI studies, mainly due to the variation 
      in term of methodological approaches such as disease definition, epidemiological 
      approach of study, study perspective, cost disaggregation, estimation of resource 
      utilization, valuation of unit cost components, and data sources used. Such 
      variation will affect the reliability, consistency, validity, and relevance of 
      the cost estimates across studies.
