Objective. To provide a current and comprehensive understanding of the cost‐effectiveness of DMTs for the treatment of MS by quantitatively evaluating the quality of recent cost‐effectiveness studies and exploring how the field has progressed from past recommendations.Methods. We assessed the quality of studies that met our systematic literature search criteria using the Quality of Health Economic Studies validated instrument.Results. Of the 82 studies that met our initial search criteria, we included 22 in this review. Four studies (18%) achieved quality category 2, three studies (14%) achieved quality category 3, and 15 studies (68%) achieved the highest quality category 4. 91% of studies were simulation models. 13 studies (59%) had quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs) as the primary outcome measure, included a societal perspective in the analysis, and utilized time horizons of 10 years to lifetime.Conclusions. To continue to improve the cost‐effectiveness evidence of DMTs, we recommend: lifetime horizons, societal perspectives, and QALYs; supplemental evidence with shorter horizons, payer perspectives, and clinical outcomes to inform multiple decision makers; development of modeling and input standards for comparability; head‐to‐head RCTs between DMTs and long‐term prospective studies; and comprehensive cost‐effectiveness studies that compare all appropriate DMTs.
