Introduction: Systematic reviews of economic evaluations are useful for synthesizing economic evidence about health interventions and for informing evidence-based decisions. Areas covered: As there is no detailed description of the methods for performing a systematic review of economic evidence, this paper aims to provide an overview of state-of-the-art methodology. This is laid out in a 5-step approach, as follows: step 1) initiating a systematic review; step 2) identifying (full) economic evaluations; step 3) data extraction, risk of bias and transferability assessment; step 4) reporting results; step 5) discussion and interpretation of findings. Expert commentary: The paper aims to help inexperienced reviewers and clinical practice guideline developers, but also to be a resource for experts in the field who want to check on current methodological developments.

“…Wijnem et al (2016) definiram a generalização como a extensão com a qual os resultados podem ser generalizáveis para a população da amostra do estudo e a transferibilidade como a extensão com que os resultados são verdadeiros para uma população diferente ou para um serviço diferente daquele estudado. Os autores discutem que, quando da realização de uma revisão sistemática de avaliações econômi-cas, é preciso avaliar se os estudos são aplicáveis ao país ou ao serviço.…”

RESUMOO Brasil vem promovendo avanços significativos desde os anos 1990 quanto à produção e ao uso de evidências econômicas na tomada de decisão sobre intervenções em saúde. Mas essa produção ainda é insuficiente para dar respostas a todas as questões formuladas no âmbito do sistema. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é o de discutir as possibilidades de uso de evidências econômicas disponí-veis na literatura científica internacional na tomada de decisão no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a necessidade de produção e uso dessas evidências na tomada de decisão em saúde. Para tanto, revisão bibliográfica da literatura foi realizada com o propósito de identificar estudos que apresentem resultados relevantes para as questões analisadas neste trabalho. Sobre a transferibilidade de evidências econômicas produzidas em outros países para uso na tomada de decisão sobre intervenções no SUS, o que os achados da literatura revelam é que existem muitas limitações a esse respeito. Ademais, os métodos para adaptação de avaliações econômicas ainda são pouco discutidos. Com isso, tem-se que as possibilidades de uso de evidências econômicas obtidas da literatura internacional em decisões no âmbito do SUS são extremamente limitadas e, portanto, ao se reconhecer a relevância dessas evidências na tomada de decisão em saúde, chega-se à conclusão de que é preciso produzi-las usando dados e informações do SUS. ABSTRACTBrazil has been promoting significant advances since the 1990s regarding the production and use of economic evidence in decision-making on health interventions. But this production is still insufficient to provide answers to all the questions raised within the system. Thus, the objective of this article is to discuss the possibilities of using economic evidence available at international scientific literature in decision-making of the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) and the need to produce and use this evidence in health decision-making. For this purpose, literature review was carried out to identify studies that present relevant results for the issues analyzed in this study. Regarding the transferability of economic evidence produced in other countries for use in decision-making on SUS interventions, there are many limitations. In addition, the discussion about methods for adapting economic evaluations isn't enough yet. Thus, the possibilities of using economic evidence obtained from the international literature in decisions of the SUS are extremely limited and, therefore, it is necessary to produce them using data and information from the SUS, once it is recognized the relevance of these evidences in the health decision-making.

Background Clinical practice guidelines suggest that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain should be performed at certain time points or intervals distant from diagnosis (interval or surveillance imaging) of cerebral glioma, to monitor or follow up the disease; it is not known, however, whether these imaging strategies lead to better outcomes among patients than triggered imaging in response to new or worsening symptoms. Objectives To determine the e ect of di erent imaging strategies (in particular, pre-specified interval or surveillance imaging, and symptomatic or triggered imaging) on health and economic outcomes for adults with glioma (grades 2 to 4) in the brain. Search methods The Cochrane Gynaecological, Neuro-oncology and Orphan Cancers (CGNOC) Group Information Specialist searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE and Embase up to 18 June 2019 and the NHS Economic Evaluation Database (EED) up to December 2014 (database closure). Selection criteria We included randomised controlled trials, non-randomised controlled trials, and controlled before-a er studies with concurrent comparison groups comparing the e ect of di erent imaging strategies on survival and other health outcomes in adults with cerebral glioma; and full economic evaluations (cost-e ectiveness analyses, cost-utility analyses and cost-benefit analyses) conducted alongside any study design, and any model-based economic evaluations on pre-and post-treatment imaging in adults with cerebral glioma. Data collection and analysis We used standard Cochrane review methodology with two authors independently performing study selection and data collection, and resolving disagreements through discussion. We assessed the certainty of the evidence using the GRADE approach. Main results We included one retrospective, single-institution study that compared post-operative imaging within 48 hours (early post-operative imaging) with no early post-operative imaging among 125 people who had surgery for glioblastoma (GBM: World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 glioma). Most patients in the study underwent maximal surgical resection followed by combined radiotherapy and temozolomide treatment. Although patient characteristics in the study arms were comparable, the study was at high risk of bias overall. Interval brain imaging for adults with cerebral glioma (Review)
