Given that RCT evidence for medical devices was generally limited, an open-minded and flexible attitude to other forms of evidence e.g., case reports (series), cohort studies, case control studies, and real-world studies was highly recommended [29, 34, 35]. Both the UK and EUnetHTA guidelines have pointed out the high risk of bias in non-randomized...
International medical device-specific HTA guidelines have emphasized the need to account for the learning curve effect in HTA. The EUnetHTA has suggested that it is necessary to establish a break-in period before the formal evaluation to ensure that users have sufficient time to adapt to the new technology. Also, various degrees of operator profici...
In practice, a Bayesian approach was recommended to account for the iterative nature of medical devices in HTA . The Bayesian approach is a statistical method that infers the posterior distribution of unknown parameters according to Bayes’ theorem based on prior knowledge and sample data. Considering that medical devices are incrementally upgraded ...
Given the lack of direct clinical outcomes for screening and diagnostic devices, the HQO allows the use of established surrogate endpoints or intermediate clinical indicators to predict patients’ final medical outcomes. For instance, the association between intermediate indicators (e.g., blood pressure) and cardiovascular-related deaths has already...
Feb 28, 2021 · Appropriate technologies provide solutions to improve healthcare services at an affordable cost. New biomedical, bioengineering and digital technologies continue to swamp the health system and consume a major part of the health budget. National authorities should develop a policy framework that articulates needs, standards and projections of ...
Jul 7, 2021 · In this contribution, we draw on historical examples and the work of historians of medicine to highlight how all technological devices are ‘expressions of medical change’ (Timmermann and Anderson 2006, 1), and to show how past analogue objects shaped physician-patient relationships in ways that remain relevant today.
