Econometric Views (EViews)

Econometric Views (EViews)

Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Social Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

As formulated by John Thibaut and Harold Kelley, Social Exchange Theory explains human relationships as economic-like exchanges that maximize rewards and minimize costs. This theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships to gain benefits and reduce burdens, similar to economic transactions. It has been widely applied to various types of relationships, including romantic, professional, and social interactions.Rewards and Costs in RelationshipsRelationship rewards include emotional...

Social Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Bioequivalence Data: Statistical Interpretation

Bioequivalence Data: Statistical Interpretation

The statistical interpretation of bioequivalence data is a significant aspect of pharmaceutical research. Bioequivalence refers to the absence of any significant difference in the rate and extent to which the active ingredient in pharmaceutical products becomes available at the site of drug action when administered at the same molar dose under similar conditions. This helps determine if different drug products have similar absorption rates, ensuring their interchangeability.Statistical...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

Bioequivalence: Overview

Bioequivalence: Overview

Pharmaceutical equivalents, by definition, are drug products with the same active ingredient in the same quantities, encapsulated in identical dosage forms, and intended for the same administration routes. These pharmaceutical equivalents are deemed bioequivalent if the bioavailability of the active entity in the drug preparations is similar. Moreover, pharmaceutical equivalents demonstrating bioequivalence are also regarded as therapeutically equivalent. This means that when used as directed,...

Area of Science:

Health Economics
Pharmacoeconomics
Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

Economic evaluations (EEs) are crucial for healthcare decision-making.
Understanding methodological variations across European countries is essential for policy.
The European Network of Health Economics Evaluation Database (EURONHEED) provides a valuable resource for such analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

To review key methodological elements of published health EEs in Europe over the past decade.
To identify and compare methodological patterns of EEs across different European countries.
To assess the quality and transferability of health economic evidence.

Main Methods:

A systematic review of 346 economic evaluations from the EURONHEED database.
Analysis focused on interventions for bacterial/viral infections, and digestive/respiratory diseases.
Descriptive and bivariate statistical analyses were used to compare methodologies by country and publication year.

Main Results:

Approximately 50% of EEs focused on pharmacological interventions, with cost-effectiveness analysis being the most common.
Treatments were more frequently evaluated than diagnostic or preventive technologies, often from a health service perspective.
Significant country-specific differences were observed in EE types, study perspectives, and discounting practices, despite methodological improvements.

Conclusions:

Methodologies in European health economic evaluations show significant variation between countries.
While improvements are noted, some studies still lack essential elements for high-quality economic evaluations.
Detailed knowledge of methodologies across European countries is needed to improve the transferability of EE results.
