Objective To systematically review the economics evaluation studies on the early screening or diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID). Methods Web of Science, CRD, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect the economics evaluation studies on the early screening or diagnosis of PID from inception to July 1st, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, a descriptive systematic review was performed. Results A total of 10 studies focusing on SCID were included. The results showed that under a relatively high threshold, the early screening and diagnosis of SCID were cost-effective, which can reduce severe infections in patients and treatment costs while improving patient’s survival. Conclusion Current evidence shows that early diagnosis of PID can reduce costs and improve benefits. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.
