Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Decision Analysis

Background:

  • A need exists for integrating economic information into evidence-based decision-making.
  • Guidance must consider the quality and relevance of economic evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize lessons learned in integrating decision analyses and cost-effectiveness analyses.
  • To provide a framework for assessing economic studies within systematic reviews.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of Evidence-Based Practice Center (EPC) systematic review methodologies.
  • Methods for identifying key questions in economic study reviews.
  • Assessment of economic models for clinical logic and uncertainty handling.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • EPC systematic review methods are applicable to economic studies.
  • Qualitative or quantitative synthesis should explore heterogeneity and bias in economic studies.
  • Identifying key uncertainties and unsuspected sources of bias is crucial.

Conclusions:

  • Applying EPC methods to economic information synthesis improves relevance for clinicians and policymakers.
  • This approach informs decisions involving trade-offs between intervention effectiveness and harms.
