Abstract

Objectives: Quality assessment tools serve an important role in evaluating economic evaluations. This paper showcases the first application of the Checklist for Health Economic Quality Evaluations (CHEQUE) tool in a systematic review setting and offers descriptive reflections on its use.

Methods: We applied CHEQUE to 21 diverse economic evaluations in a systematic review on medical education. We visualize weighted CHEQUE scores, calculate correlations between methods- and reporting sections, and provide all data and R code for re-use in future applications. Finally, we provide a detailed overview of our judgements and alternative considerations of the checklist items, and suggestions for further development.

Results: Scores ranged from 18% to 94% depending on the applied weighting method, with a positive correlation between method and reporting quality. CHEQUE enables systematic and standardized assessment but may benefit from refinement in scoring clarity and burden reduction.

Conclusion: Our study provides insights for future guidance on applying and developing CHEQUE or similar tools in economic evaluation quality assessment.

期刊介绍： Value in Health contains original research articles for pharmacoeconomics, health economics, and outcomes research (clinical, economic, and patient-reported outcomes/preference-based research), as well as conceptual and health policy articles that provide valuable information for health care decision-makers as well as the research community. As the official journal of ISPOR, Value in Health provides a forum for researchers, as well as health care decision-makers to translate outcomes research into health care decisions.
