HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projec...

Sex-specific differences in diabetes prevention: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Several RCTs and observational studies have pointed out that longterm adherence to preventive interventions in prediabetic people can be a substantial challenge, especially when it comes to lifestyle interventions [30,58]. Benefits of lifestyle interventions are greatest in those with the best adherence [58]. In the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (Finnish DPS) participants who achieved one of five predefined lifestyle goals had a 33% lower risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes compared with those who did not achieve any of the goals [59].…”

“…Consequently, clinicians and prevention managers can focus on factors that are known to determine the magnitude of beneficial effects, such as adherence. Several RCTs and observational studies have pointed out that longterm adherence to preventive interventions in prediabetic people can be a substantial challenge, especially when it comes to lifestyle interventions [30,58]. Benefits of lifestyle interventions are greatest in those with the best adherence [58].…”

Screening for glucose intolerance and development of a lifestyle education programme for prevention of type 2 diabetes in a population with intellectual disabilities: the STOP Diabetes research project

“…It is assumed that individuals switch to dual treatment in the first annual cycle in which HbA 1c level increases above 7.4%, based on a 2014 HTA. 327 For costing purposes, the second drug to be added to metformin was assumed to be sitagliptin. The second major treatment change is assumed to be initiation of insulin.…”

“…Within the model the individual is switched to insulin in the first annual cycle at which HbA 1c levels exceed 8.5%. 327 The insulin glargine was chosen to represent insulin treatment in the UK.…”

Impact of the diagnosis of diabetes and/or hypertension on healthy food consumption indicators: a longitudinal study of elderly persons

“…Although literature, mainly international [6][7][8] , emphasizes the importance of adopting healthy eating habits as one of the most effective means of secondary prevention of DM and SAH, there is still little information in Brazil about the dietary habits of elderly persons with these diseases through population studies 9 .…”
