Including Productivity as an Element to Reflect Value of the Treatment: A Systematic Review of Published Health Economic Evaluations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Productivity is utilised inconsistently in value assessment and poses methodological and conceptual challenges for estimation. This systematic literature review aims to understand how productivity gain/loss for patients and caregivers was measured in health economic evaluation, identify the preferred instruments to capture productivity gain/loss and assess their properties.

Methods

A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Japan-specific (J-STAGE and Ichushi Web) and economic literature databases (Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Registry, Paediatric Economic Database Evaluation (PEDE) and National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED)). Additional relevant data were identified using clinical trial registries
