Cost-effectiveness analysis of point-of-care A1C tests in the primary care setting of Iran

While associated with higher direct costs, its potential to improve glycemic control and long-term health outcomes supports consideration by policymakers, particularly in the context of expanding access to timely diabetes monitoring.
