正しい方法がわかる臨床基本手技 : from the New England journal of medicine

Over the past decade interest in the economic evaluation of health care interventions has risen1 Reviews of published studies have, however, shown gaps in the quality of work2 3 4 5 As far back as 1974 Williams listed the essential elements of economic evaluations,6 and more recently Drummond and colleagues set out the methodological areas generally agreed among economists7 Guidelines for economic evaluations have been promulgated and reviewed by many bodies,8 9 10 11 12 13 14 but few medical journals have explicit guidelines for peer review of economic evaluations or consistently use economist reviewers for economic papers even though they are a major publication outlet for economic evaluations15 16 17 In January 1995 the BMJ set up a working party on economic evaluation to improve the quality of submitted and published economic articles

It was not our intention to be unduly prescriptive or stifle innovative methods; our emphasis is on improving the clarity of economic evaluations We also did not address those issues of conduct that have been emphasised in other guidelines13 14 15 16 17 18

The working party's objectives were to improve the quality of submitted and published economic evaluations by agreeing acceptable methods and their systematic application before, during, and after peer review Its task was to produce: (a) guidelines for economic evaluation, together with a comprehensive supporting statement which could be easily understood by both specialist and non-specialist readers; (b) a checklist for use by referees and authors; and (c) a checklist for use by editors

Drug prescribing: a discussion of its variability and (ir)rationality.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of prenatal screening and vaccination against hepatitis B virus—The case of Belgium

It is demonstrated in clinical studies that Misoprostol is effective in preventing gastric ulcers in osteoarthritic patients treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The primary purpose of this article is to analyze the cost-effectiveness of Misoprostol. The methodology used is decision analysis. Clinical probability data for two patient groups (the Misoprostol and placebo group) were combined with data related to the costs of medical treatment and to the preventive use of Misoprostol. The basic conclusion is that the preventive treatment with Misoprostol entails net savings for society as a whole. However, the size of net savings is rather sensitive to changes in important parameters such as the presence of asymptomatic ulcers and the price of Misoprostol.
