Abstract:
OBJECTIVE：To evaluate guidelines f or health technology assessment （HTA）at home and abroad ，and to provide reference for scientific formulation of HTA guidelines in China. METHODS ：Databases including PubMed ，Embase，Guidenlines International Network and 83 official websites from 26 countries governments and academic organizations were searched to collect HTA guidelines from inception to April 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data ，including basic characteristics， content of guideline and assessment content. Then a descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS：A total of 19 guidelines published during 2001 to 2018 were included ，7 guidelines（36.8％）were published in 2015-2020；in addition to 1 guideline from WHO ，14 guidelines （73.7％）were published in Europeand ，2 guidelines（10.5％） in North America and 1 guideline each from South America and Asia （5.3％）. There were 11 guidelines（57.9％）developed by academic organizations and 8 guidelines（42.1％）by health administration ；11 guidelines（57.9％）were evidence-based ，while the others weren ’t evidence- based （42.1％）. The purpose ，content and object of assessment are demonstrated in 19 guidelines；18 guidelines specified the assessment method （94.7％），and 16 guidelines（84.2％）defined the subject of assessment ；14 guidelines （73.7％）specified the HTA assessment process ；12 guidelines（63.3％）mentioned the conflict of interest in HTA assessment process；7 guidelines（36.8％）mentioned the application of assessment results. There are some differences in the formulation methods and contents of HTA guidelines in foreign countries ，but the core contents ar e basically the same. At present ，there is a lack of HTA guidelines in China. We can refer to foreign guidelines，and establish applicable HTA guidelines which aresuitable for national conditions ，so as to provide scientific guidance for HTA research.
