Assessment of cost-effectiveness evidence

摘要

The search strategy for the project is reported in Chapter 3 (see Search strategy). In addition to the databases listed in that section, the NHS Economic Evaluations Database (NHS-EED) was searched for economic evaluations (via Wiley, The Cochrane Library website, issue 7 of 12 July 2010). A broad range of studies were considered in the assessment of cost-effectiveness including economic evaluations conducted alongside trials, modelling studies and analyses of administrative databases. Only full economic evaluations that compare two or more options and consider both costs and consequences (including cost-effectiveness, cost-utility and cost-benefit analyses) were included in the review of economic literature.
