“…In parallel to that, healthcare spending, health economic productivity, and research funding for health economics shifted toward low- and middle-income countries, especially in top emerging BRICS. These circumstances created drivers for further development of health economics in these countries ( 8 , 42 – 44 ).…”

“…In recent decades, a large amount of local HEE studies have been published. There is a strong evidence of the upward stream of blossoming in HEE publications and its acceleration ( 8 ). The evolution of scientific literature in health economics published in Brazil between 1986 and 2007 has been evaluated and reported in the published literature ( 9 – 11 ).…”

“…The evolution of scientific literature in health economics published in Brazil between 1986 and 2007 has been evaluated and reported in the published literature ( 9 – 11 ). Recently, Brazil appeared among the top 15 countries in HE research, accounting for 1.7% of identified records, and has been identified as the South American country that published the largest number of HEE studies ( 8 , 12 , 13 ).…”

BackgroundBrazil has sought to use economic evaluation to support healthcare decision-making processes. While a number of health economic evaluations (HEEs) have been conducted, no study has systematically reviewed the quality of Brazilian HEE. The objective of this systematic review was to provide an overview regarding the state of HEE research and to evaluate the number, characteristics, and quality of reporting of published HEE studies conducted in a Brazilian setting.MethodsWe systematically searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Latin American, and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences Database, Scientific Electronic Library Online, NHS Economic Evaluation Database, health technology assessment Database, Bireme, and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde Economia da Saúde); citation indexes (SCOPUS, Web of Science), and Sistema de Informação da Rede Brasileira de Avaliação de Tecnologia em Saúde. Partial and full HEEs published between 1980 and 2013 that referred to a Brazilian setting were considered for inclusion.ResultsIn total, 535 studies were included in the review, 36.8% of these were considered to be full HEE. The category of healthcare technologies more frequently assessed were procedures (34.8%) and drugs (28.8%) which main objective was treatment (72.1%). Forty-four percent of the studies reported their funding source and 36% reported a conflict of interest. Overall, the full HEE quality of reporting was satisfactory. But some items were generally poorly reported and significant improvement is required: (1) methods used to estimate healthcare resource use quantities and unit costs, (2) methods used to estimate utility values, (3) sources of funding, and (4) conflicts of interest.ConclusionA steady number of HEE have been published in Brazil since 1980. To improve their contribution to inform national healthcare policy efforts need to be made to enhance the quality of reporting of HEEs and promote improvements in the way HEEs are designed, implemented (i.e., using sound methods for HEEs) and reported.

Cold War Era (1946–1991) was marked by the presence of two distinctively different economic systems, namely the free-market (The Western ones) and central-planned (The Eastern ones) economies. The main goal of this study refers to the exploration of development pathways of Public and Private Health Expenditure in all of the countries of the European WHO Region. Based on the availability of fully comparable data from the National Health Accounts system, we adopted the 1995–2014 time horizon. All countries were divided into two groups: those defined in 1989 as free market economies and those defined as centrally-planned economies. We observed six major health expenditures: Total Health Expenditure (% of GDP), Total Health Expenditure (PPP unit), General government expenditure on health (PPP), Private expenditure on health (PPP), Social security funds (PPP) and Out-of-pocket expenditure (PPP). All of the numerical values used refer exclusively to per capita health spending. In a time-window from the middle of the 1990s towards recent years, total health expenditure was rising fast in both groups of countries. Expenditure on health % of GDP in both group of countries increased over time with the increase in the Free-market economies seen to be more rapid. The steeper level of total expenditure on health for the Free-market as of 1989 market economies, is due mainly to a steep increase in both the government and private expenditure on health relative to spending by centrally-planned economies as of the same date, with the out-of-pocket expenditure and the social security funds in the same market economies category following the same steepness. Variety of governments were leading Eastern European countries into their transitional health care reforms. We may confirm clear presence of obvious divergent upward trends in total governmental and private health expenditures between these two groups of countries over the past two decades. The degree of challenge to the fiscal sustainability of these health systems will have to be judged for each single nation, in line with its own local circumstances and perspectives.

“…Интересът към този вид анализи е преди всичко свързан с опасенията за нарастващите разходи в здравеопазването и натиска върху здравните власти да разпределят ресурси за ефективното използване на иновативни здравни технологии. Доказателство за този интерес е и експоненциалното нарастване на научните публикации в тази област през последното десетилетие [4][5].…”

Изследванията върху разходите и свързаните с тях здравни ползи са основна част от управленския процес в здравеопазването. Интересът към този вид анализи е преди всичко свързан с опасенията за нарастващите разходи и натиска върху здравните власти да разпределят ресурси за ефективното използване на иновативни здравни технологии. Надеждността на резултатите, получени от тези анализи, зависи до голяма степен от правилното прилагане на различните подходи и разбирането на техните специфики.
