Systematic Literature Review to Assess the Cost and Resource Use Associated with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Management.

Long-term robust studies are required to fully elucidate the economic burden of SMA. Considering that motor function can vary broadly, especially in Type 2 SMA, it would be beneficial to understand how costs and resource use are affected by different degrees of ambulation. Reporting data in terms of achieved motor function could also mitigate the challenges of comparing global data studies of small populations. Global, regional, and/or local data collection platforms and disease registry networks could play an important role in helping to address current data gaps.
