Twenty-three models evaluating the cost effectiveness of treatments for venous leg ulcers were found within this systematic review.

The most common modelling approach was a Markov model, with studies predominantly taking an NHS/payer perspective and evaluating wound dressing technologies.

The reporting quality of models was appraised using the Philips Checklist. This found that most studies did not adequately report all aspects of the model used. Particularly, limited information was given surrounding the modelling techniques and structure.
