Core Tip Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an endoscopic bariatric tool that offers patients a non-surgical option for weight loss. However, the cost effectiveness of ESG as compared to conventional lifestyle modification (LM) in real world patients needs further investigation. In this study, we aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of ESG vs LM. Our results showed that the base-case incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for ESG vs LM was 5904 dollars per quality-adjusted life year, suggesting that ESG is cost effective across all classes of obesity.
