Context: If the diameter of an aneurysm increases by more than 6 cm, the risk of aortic rupture increases by 50% within 10 years. Therefore, rupture of aneurysm, which is usually asymptomatic, can lead to severe complications and increase the risk of mortality. The current study aimed to systematically review studies comparing the cost-effective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR) as the primary treatment options for patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Methods: An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct, Scopus, and other scientific economic databases. Relevant articles were searched from 1999 to 2020 using keywords, such as “abdominal aortic aneurysm”, “endovascular”, “open surgery”, “rupture”, “economic evaluation”, and “cost-effectiveness”. The quality of articles was assessed using the Quality of Health Economic studies (QHES) checklist; finally, five articles were included in this review. Results: The results of the QHES checklist showed that most studies had a good quality. A third-party payer’s perspective was the dominant perspective in all selected studies, comparing EVAR with OSR. All studies considered the direct medical costs and did not disclose any discount rates, except for one study, reporting a 3.5% discount rate. Almost all included studies found EVAR to be a cost-effective intervention; only one study concluded that EVAR, with a cost-effectiveness ratio of €424,542, was not the best treatment option. Conclusion: In patients with ruptured AAAs, the EVAR intervention improved the quality of life, decreased the mortality rate, and shortened the hospital stay as compared to OSR.

“…However, the mortality rate of CRC has been recently reduced mainly due to effective cancer screening programs (Thanikachalam & Khan, 2019 ). CRC in Iranian females and males is the second and third most prevalent cancer, accounting for 7 and 8 per 100 thousand people, respectively (Rezapour et al., 2021 ).…”

The risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) can be influenced by dietary components. This study aims to investigate the association between dietary intake and CRC in Iranian adults. This hospital‐based case–control study was performed on 160 patients with CRC and 320 healthy people. General and pathological data were collected through face‐to‐face interviews. A validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess the intake of calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients. The case group had a significantly higher intake of calories, carbohydrates, vitamin A, vitamin K, fluoride, and molybdenum and a lower intake of vitamin E, vitamin B1, beta carotene, biotin, folate, magnesium, selenium, manganese, and fiber (all p < .001). CRC was positively associated with the intake of carbohydrate (OR: 1.01, CI% 1.03–1.01, p = .001), and vitamin A (OR: 1.009, CI 95% 1.006–1.01, p = .001) and negatively associated with intake of fiber (OR: 0.67, CI 95% 0.59–0.76, p = .001), beta carotene (OR: 0.99, CI 95% 0.99–0.99, p = .001), vitamin E (OR: 0.27, CI 95% 0.15–0.47, p = .001), folate (OR: 0.98 CI 95% 0.97–0.98, p = .001), and biotin (OR: 0.83, CI 95% 0.77–0.90, p = .001). The associations remained significant after adjusting for age and sex. Further adjustments for physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking did not change the results. The results identified that the risk of colorectal cancer can be influenced by dietary intake. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings and to identify the underlying mechanisms of the effects of dietary components on the risk of colorectal cancer.

“…The GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates that there were 19.3 million new cases of cancer and almost 10 million deaths from cancer in 2020 (Sung et al, 2021) Cancer incidence, crude rate, and age-standardized rate (ASR) in Iran increased According to the literature review, cancer patients and their families suffer from numerous problems in various aspects such as the cognitive, health care, spiritual, social, emotional, and personal aspects (McCaffrey et al, 2016). The cost of cancer in Iran is significant and is pre-dicted to rise considerably because of the growing new diagnosed cases, which necessitates the implementation of preventive and screening pro-grams in the national cancer control program (Rezapour et al, 2021). It is necessary to develop a comprehensive and holistic care plan for the cancer patients to overcome these problems and improve the quality of life of these patients and their families in various aspects of life (Hui and Bruera, 2016).…”

Iran showed that there were 13,111 new cases of cancer and 79,137 deaths In 2020, and stomach cancer the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in Iran (Sung et al., 2021), Therefore, the increasing trends in incidence of most common cancers in Iran reinforce the need for the tailored design and implementation of effective national cancer control programs across the country (Roshandel et al., 2021).Cancer leads to many problems for the patients and their families (Wilson et al., 2016). These issues and problems occur in most aspects of daily life, thereby reducing the quality of life of patients (Mah et al., 2021).
