Review question | All questions – health economic evidence |
---|---|
Objectives | To identify economic studies relevant to any of the review questions. |
Search criteria |
|
Search strategy | An economic study search will be undertaken using population-specific terms and an economic study filter – see appendix G. For questions being updated from the previous guidelines, the search will be run from the latest guideline (CG92) cut-off date (2008). |
Review strategy | Studies not meeting any of the search criteria above will be excluded. Studies published before 2001 will be excluded. Abstract-only studies and studies from non-OECD countries or the USA will also be excluded. Studies published after 2001 that were included in the previous guidelines will be re-assessed for inclusion and may be included or selectively excluded based on their relevance to the questions covered in this update and whether more applicable evidence is identified. Each remaining study will be assessed for applicability and methodological limitations using the NICE economic evaluation checklist which can be found in appendix H of Developing NICE guidelines: the manual (2014).236 Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Where there is discretion The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the Committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the Committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. All studies excluded on the basis of applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation as excluded economic studies in appendix O. The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies. Setting:
