Evaluation of Reporting Quality of Systematic Reviews on Health Economic Evaluation Studies Based on the CHEERS Statement: An Overview of Reviews
Abstract
Background: Economic evaluations in healthcare are designed to inform decisions by the estimation of cost and effect trade-off of two or more interventions. We aimed to evaluate the standards of systematic reviews on health economic evaluation studies using the CHEERS (Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Report Standards) tool.Methods: We searched the PubMed database with keywords CHEERS and its complete form in combination with keywords related to cost or economic evaluation without language and time limits until November 17, 2021. The CHEERS tool was then used to include systematic reviews.
Results: Overall, 32 systematic reviews, included 610 primary studies were included. Of the 32 included studies, only 1 study (3.1%) had poor quality, 5 studies (15.6%) had good quality, remaining studies had very good and excellent quality.
Conclusion: Some studies still have problems in expressing the standards. The necessity of standards for reporting economic evaluation studies in the field of health is very serious, and Cheers is one of the most important tools.
