The Comparative Effectiveness Review Development Process

Presentation: Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Radiotherapy Treatments for Head and Neck Cancer
Keywords: comparative effectiveness review
The comparative effectiveness review topic, Comparative Effectiveness of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors or Angiotensin II-Receptor Blockers Added to Standard Medical Therapy for Treating Stable Ischemic Heart Disease, was nominated in a public process. Sufficient research into the current literature determined that there was a need for the available evidence on the addition of ACEIs and ARBs to standard medical therapy for patients with stable ischemic heart disease and preserved left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) and that there was an adequate number of clinical trials to be included in a comparative effectiveness review (CER). Based on this research, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) commissioned the University of Connecticut/Hartford Hospital Evidence-Based Practice Center to prepare the CER with input from a Technical Expert Panel. This advisory panel was comprised of experts in different specialties, including cardiologists, a cardiovascular pharmacist/pharmacologist, and a health policy pharmacist. The panel identified important issues, reviewed proposed methods, defined parameters for the review of evidence, and helped to refine the key clinical questions that the research would subsequently address. Once formulated, the key clinical questions were published online and were made available for public commentary in order to refine the scope and focus of the research questions. A comprehensive systematic review of the literature was then conducted using several well-known databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. All methods used in the review followed version 1.0 of AHRQ’s Methods Reference Guide for Effectiveness and Comparative Effectiveness Reviews (available at: http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/repFiles/2007_10DraftMethodsGuide.pdf) and the trial end points were determined a priori. Based on the findings of the review, a draft CER was prepared and published online for public comment, and the draft underwent rigorous peer review to improve the final product. After the CER was finalized, the complete report was published on the Internet (available at: http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/ehc/products/57/335/bodyfinal.pdf) and a condensed version was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (available at: http://www.annals.org/content/early/2009/10/19/0003-4819-151-12-200912150-00162.full).

The CER Development Process

Presentation: Comparative Effectiveness of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and/or Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers Added to Standard Medical Therapy for Treating Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease and Preserved Left Ventricular Systolic Function
Keywords: effective health care | peer-review process | systematic review | comparative effectiveness
The CER Development Process (2) Utilization data for rFVIIa was taken from the Perspective Comparative Database of Premier, Inc., in Charlotte, NC (2000–2008). A comprehensive systematic review of the literature was conducted from 10 electronic databases, grey literature, trial registries, and reference lists. Studies on the spectrum of rFVIIa off-label use, effectiveness of rFVIIa for the five AHRQ-selected indications, and studies on the potential harms for the five indications were included. All methods used in the review followed version 1.0 of the Methods Reference Guide for Effectiveness and Comparative Effectiveness Reviews published by AHRQ (draft available at: http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/repFiles/2007_10DraftMethodsGuide.pdf). The draft CER was prepared and published online and was subject to public comment and peer review. Once finalized, the complete report was published on the Effective Health Care Program Web site (available at: http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/search-for-guides-reviews-and-reports/?pageaction=displayproduct&productID=450).

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Comparative Effectiveness Review (CER) Development

Presentation: Comparative Effectiveness of Management Strategies for Adults With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: An Update
Keywords: comparative effectiveness | systematic review | clinical studies
The CER Development Process (2) A comprehensive systematic review of the literature was then conducted from 12 electronic databases (1990 to September 2009), grey literature, trial registries, and reference lists. Controlled and uncontrolled studies that assessed nonoperative or operative treatments or postoperative rehabilitation for adults with confirmed rotator cuff tears were included. All methods used in the review followed version 1.0 of the Methods Reference Guide for Effectiveness and Comparative Effectiveness Reviews published by AHRQ (draft available at: http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/repFiles/2007_10DraftMethodsGuide.pdf). The draft CER was prepared and published online and was subject to public comment and peer review to improve the final product. Once finalized, the complete report was published on the Effective Health Care Program Web site (available at: http://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/search-for-guides-reviews-and-reports/?pageaction=displayproduct&productID=467) and in the Annals of Internal Medicine (abstract available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20621893).
