“…11 Ancak çalışmalar, Türkçe bir raporlama kılavuzu olmaması nedeniyle tutarsız bir şekilde sunulmaktadır. 12 Türkiye'de ilk STD ajansı Sağlık Bakanlığı (SB) tarafından yaklaşık 10 yıl önce kurulmuştur. SB, 2019-2023 stratejik planda yer alan stratejilerden biri STD raporlarının üretilmesi ve uygulanmasının iyileştirilmesi olarak belirlenmiş olmasına karşın ulusal STD raporlama yönergesi içerik bakımından son derece kısıtlıdır ve STD'lerin bir parçası olarak gerçekleştirilen ekonomik değerlendirmelerin raporlanmasına ilişkin rehberlik içermemektedir.…”

ÖZET Amaç: Türkiye'de sağlık ekonomisi ve sağlık teknolojileri değerlendirme (STD) faaliyetlerinin gelişmesine karşın, yapılan yayımlarda raporlama açısından ciddi farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Bunun sebeplerinden biri de yaygın olarak kabul gören raporlama kritelerinin bulunmayışıdır. Bu çalışma, Konsolide Sağlık Ekonomisi Değerlendirme Raporlama Standartları [Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS)] kriterlerinin Türkçeye kazandırılmasını amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Uyarlama çalışması Sperber tarafından önerilen sistematik bir yöntem izlenerek, sağlık ekonomisi alanında çalışan 2 dilli profesyonellerden oluşan bir ekip ve orijinal CHEERS 2013 ve 2022 kriterlerinin 2 yazarı tarafından yapılmıştır. Yapılan çeviri, Türkiye'de ve yurt dışında sağlık ekonomisi ve sağlık teknolojisi değerlendirme alanında çalışan uzman araştırmacıların katkılarıyla geliştirilmiş ve son hâlini almıştır. Bu çeviriye akademisyenler, Sağlık Bakanlığı Sağlık Teknolojileri Değerlendirme Daire Başkanlığı ve Türkiye Sağlık Politikaları Enstitüsü çalışanları ile "The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research" Türkiye grubu üyesi sağlık ekonomistleri katkı sağlamıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada sağlıkta ekonomik değerlendirmelerin raporlanmasında kullanılmak üzere 28 maddeden oluşan, Türkçe CHEERS raporlama rehberi sunulmuştur. Türkçe CHEERS raporlama rehberi, bilimsel dergilerde sağlıkta ekonomik değerlendirme çalışmaları yayımlayan araştırmacılara, hakemlere ve editörler ile sağlık teknolojileri değerlendirme kuruluşlarına hitap etmektedir. Sonuç: CHEERS kriterlerinin Türkiye'de yapılan ekonomik değerlendirmelerde uygulanması uluslararası standartlara uygun nitelikte, karşılaştırılabilir yayımlar üretilmesine ve ülke içinde kanıta dayalı sağlık politikaları geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca Türkiye'de sağlık ekonomisi verilerinin, başka ülkelerde de kullanılmasını kolaylaştıracaktır. Anah tar Ke li me ler: Ekonomik değerlendirme; sağlık teknolojileri değerlendirme; CHEERS; Türkiye; düşük ve orta gelirli ülkeler ABS TRACT Objective: Although the health economics capacity and health technology assessment activities in Türkiye are growing, there are significant variations across publications with regards to the reporting standards. One reason for that is the lack of widely accepted reporting criteria. This study aimed to produce the adaptation of the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) into Turkish. Material and Methods: The Turkish adaptation was conducted by a team of bi-lingual professionals working in the field of health economics, and two authors of the CHEERS 2013 and 2022 checklist based on a systematic framework outlined by Sperber. The translation was improved based on feedback from researchers, key health economist groups, and health technology assessment organisations, including The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research Türkiye Chapter and Turkish Health Policies Institute. Results:The Turkish CHEERS checklist consis...

Introduction Economic evaluation studies demonstrate the value of money in health interventions and enhance the efficiency of the healthcare system. Therefore, this study reviews published economic evaluation studies of public health interventions from 26 Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries and examines whether they addressed the region's major health problems. Methods PubMed and Scopus were utilized to search for relevant articles published up to June 26, 2021. The reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed the quality of studies using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) checklist. Results The search identified 61 studies. Approximately half (28 studies; 46%) were conducted in Israel and Iran. The main areas of interest for economic evaluation studies were infectious diseases (21 studies; 34%), cancers (13 studies; 21%), and genetic disorders (nine studies; 15%). Five (8%), 39 (64%), 16 (26%), and one (2%) studies were classified as excellent, high, average, and poor quality, respectively. The mean of CHEERS checklist items reported was 80.8% (SD 14%). Reporting the structure and justification of the selected model was missed in 21 studies (37%), while price and conversion rates and the analytical methods were missed in 21 studies (34%). Conclusions The quantity of economic evaluation studies on public health interventions in the MENA region remains low; however, the overall quality is high to excellent. There were obvious geographic gaps across countries regarding the number and quality of studies and gaps within countries concerning disease prioritization. The observed research output, however, did not reflect current and upcoming disease burden and risk factors trends in the MENA region.

Background Lower extremity amputations (LEAs) significantly contribute to mortality and morbidity, often resulting from peripheral artery disease and diabetes mellitus (DM). Traumatic injuries also account for many LEAs. Despite the global burden, the epidemiology of LEAs, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, remains underexplored. This study utilizes the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) dataset to analyze temporal trends in LEAs in the MENA region from 1990 to 2019. Methods The study utilized the 2019 GBD dataset, which includes estimates for incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) across 369 diseases. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) for LEAs were extracted for 21 MENA countries. Trends were analyzed using percentage change calculations and Joinpoint regression to identify significant shifts in LEA rates over time. Results From 1990 to 2019, male LEA rates generally decreased, while female rates increased. Significant increases in LEA rates were observed in Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan, correlating with periods of conflict and instability. Conversely, countries like Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Iran, and Kuwait saw marked decreases. The study highlighted a complex interplay of socio-political factors, natural disasters, and chronic diseases like DM in shaping LEA trends across the region. Conclusion The study reveals variable LEA trends in the MENA region, influenced by conflicts, natural disasters, and chronic diseases. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions, improved healthcare access, and robust data collection systems to reduce the burden of LEAs and improve patient outcomes in the MENA region.
