About
Dr. Mengying Lu is a health economics and outcomes researcher whose work critically examines the value and efficiency of advanced surgical technologies. Her primary research areas include cost-utility analysis, health technology assessment, and the economic evaluation of robotic-assisted surgery. Dr. Lu’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2022 study, “More work is needed on cost‐utility analyses of robotic‐assisted surgery,” which has garnered 22 citations and serves as a pivotal reference in the field. In this work, she systematically assessed the reporting and methodological quality of existing cost-utility analyses, revealing significant gaps in the evidence base and calling for more rigorous, standardized evaluations. By highlighting the need for higher-quality data to justify the substantial costs of robotic platforms, Dr. Lu’s research directly informs clinical decision-making and healthcare policy. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of surgical innovation and economic sustainability, offering a clear-eyed perspective on how to measure true value in modern medicine.
