We did not include health technology assessment reports generated by health technology assessment agencies such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (in England).
We noted considerable variation between technology assessment reports in terms of the point at which the citation-to-study relationship is made explicit within the study selection diagram.
|| "Health technology agencies databases were also searched for technology assessment reports, systematic reviews and economic studies with the keywords 'vacuum', 'subatmospheric pressure', and 'sub-atmospheric pressure' used individually" [ 30].
The Centre has two overarching tasks: The first is to promote evidence-based policy making, by producing health technology assessment reports, systematic reviews, overviews and reports that provide policy makers with early warnings.
Furthermore, we did not assess health technology assessment reports, which could have had higher quality or precision than the reports analysed.
Evidence-based standards of care, such as published practice guidelines and technology assessment reports developed by authoritative organisations, provide an objective standard against which to assess MDT decisions.
The costs for the diagnosis and treatment of HPV-related diseases were based on German cost studies and a German health technology assessment report (Table 3) [18, 31].
The annual cervical cancer screening rates and the sensitivity and specificity of Pap smear tests and colposcopy were based on data from a German health technology assessment report (Table 1) [10].
In the report, Culberson's panel "encourages NASA to study and develop propulsion concepts that could enable an interstellar scientific probe with the capability of achieving a cruise velocity of 0.1c [10% of the speed of light]." The report language doesn't mandate any additional funding, but calls on NASA to draw up a technology assessment report and conceptual road map within 1 year.
Evidence was found only when we identified an health technology assessment report in further searches [ 74].
In this study, 16 of the 88 included reviews were health technology assessment reports.
