Abstract

Objective

Quality assessment tools serve an important role in evaluating economic evaluations. This article 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 of medical education. We visualized weighted CHEQUE scores, calculate correlations between methods and reporting sections, and provided all data and R code for reuse in future applications. Finally, we provided a detailed overview of our judgments 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 the 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.

卫生经济质量评价清单（支票）在系统评价中的应用。

目的：质量评价工具在评价经济评价中起着重要作用。本文展示了卫生经济质量评估清单（支票）工具在系统审查设置中的首次应用，并提供了对其使用的描述性反思。方法：采用检验方法对21项医学教育经济评价进行系统评价。我们可视化加权的支票分数，计算方法和报告部分之间的相关性，并提供所有数据和R代码，以便在未来的应用程序中重用。最后，我们提供了一个详细的概述，我们的判断和替代考虑的清单项目，并建议进一步发展。结果：根据所采用的加权方法，得分范围为18%至94%，方法与报告质量呈正相关。支票可以进行系统和标准化的评估，但可以从评分清晰度和减轻负担的改进中受益。结论：本研究为今后在经济评价质量评价中应用和开发支票或类似工具提供了指导。
