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.
