Cost-effectiveness analysis of individual-level obesity treatment in paediatrics: A scoping review.

There is a small amount of evidence that individual-level paediatric obesity treatment interventions are cost-effective and, in some cases cost-saving, with most of this work conducted on behavioural interventions. The economic evaluation of paediatric obesity interventions poses various methodologic challenges, which should be addressed in future research to fully use the potential of economic evaluation as an aid to decision-making.
