About

Yujun Liu 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. Liu’s most cited work, a 2022 systematic review titled “More work is needed on cost‐utility analyses of robotic‐assisted surgery,” systematically assessed the reporting and methodological quality of existing cost-utility studies in this field. Her findings highlighted significant gaps in evidence quality and underscored the need for more rigorous, transparent economic evaluations to inform clinical and policy decisions. With 22 citations, this paper has become a key reference for researchers and policymakers navigating the complex trade-offs between the high costs of robotic systems and their potential clinical benefits. Liu’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers in health economics, surgery, and health policy, as she provides a critical lens on how to assess the true value of innovative but expensive medical technologies. Her work continues to shape the conversation around evidence-based resource allocation in modern healthcare.
