The Conventional Cost‐Effectiveness and Distributional Cost‐Effectiveness of Semaglutide for Obesity Treatment

open access: yesObesity, Volume 34, Issue 11, Page 2146-2155, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the conventional and distributional cost‐effectiveness of semaglutide, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and a “do nothing” option in Black and White racial subgroups. Methods A Markov simulation model was developed from a healthcare perspective over a 25‐year time horizon for Black and White adults,
