A number of approaches have been used to grade levels evidence and the strength recommendations. The use many different detracts from one main reasons for having explicit approaches: concisely characterise communicate this information so that it can easily be understood thereby help people make well-informed decisions. Our objective was critically appraise six prominent systems grading recommendations as a basis agreeing on characteristics common, sensible approach recommendations.Six were...
Cost-effectiveness analysis is used to compare the costs and outcomes of alternative policy options. Each resulting cost-effectiveness ratio represents magnitude additional health gained per unit resources spent. thresholds allow ratios that represent good or very value for money be identified. In 2001, World Health Organization's Commission on Macroeconomics in suggested based multiples a country's per-capita gross domestic product (GDP). some contexts, choosing which interventions fund not...
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is potentially an important aid to public health decision-making but, with some notable exceptions, its use and impact at the level of individual countries limited. A number potential reasons may account for this, among them technical shortcomings associated generation current economic evidence, political expediency, social preferences systemic barriers implementation. As a form sectoral CEA, Generalized CEA sets out overcome these appropriate...
The ambitious development agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires substantial investments across several sectors, including for SDG 3 (healthy lives and wellbeing). No estimates additional resources needed to strengthen comprehensive health service delivery towards attainment universal coverage in low-income middle-income countries have been published.
Since WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, more than 20 million cases have been reported, as Aug 24, 2020. This study aimed to identify what additional health-care costs strategic preparedness and response plan (SPRP) would be if current transmission levels are maintained in status quo scenario, or under scenarios where is increased decreased by 50%.
Abstract Background Systems that are used by different organisations to grade the quality of evidence and strength recommendations vary. They have strengths weaknesses. The GRADE Working Group has developed an approach addresses key shortcomings in these systems. aim this study was pilot test further develop grading recommendations. Methods A profile consists two tables: a assessment summary findings. Twelve profiles were study. Each made based on information available systematic review....

This Guidance for Priority Setting in Health Care (GPS-Health), initiated by the World Organization, offers a comprehensive map of equity criteria that are relevant to health care priority setting and should be considered addition cost-effectiveness analysis.

Primary health care (PHC) is a driving force for advancing towards universal coverage (UHC). PHC-oriented systems bring enormous benefits but require substantial financial investments. Here, we aim to present measures PHC investments and project the associated resource needs. This modelling study analysed data from 67 low-income middle-income countries (LMICs). Recognising variation in services among countries, propose three PHC, with different scope included interventions system...

Dan Chisholm and colleagues discuss how studies looking at the economic consequences of ill health might be improved
Estimating health care costs, either in the context of understanding resource utilization implementation a plan, or economic evaluation, has become common activity planners, technology assessment agencies and academic groups. However, data sources for costs outside direct service delivery are often scarce. WHO-CHOICE produces global price databases guidance on quantity assumptions to support country level costing exercises. This paper presents updates methodology programme costs.We collated...
