Resumen:
ObjectiveIt is important to have adequate and updated guides for
reporting health economic evaluations (HEE). Due to their nature and
methodological complexity, HEE have particular challenges for adequate
reporting, which can be greater than more traditional study designs such
as randomized controlled trials. CHEERS (Consolidated Health Economic
Evaluation Reporting Standards) have recently been published in English.
Our objectives were to adapt the CHEERS list to Spanish.Methods and
ResultsWe followed the recommended methods of the Equator (Enhancing the
Quality and Transparency Of health Research) network. We made an
initial translation to Spanish, a back translation to English, and an
initial Spanish version that was circulated through ISPOR and REDETSA.
Finally, a final Spanish version was consolidated. The list contains 24
items grouped in Title and Abstract; Introduction; Methods; Results;
Discussion; and Other (which included conflict of interest reporting).
The scope of use is independent of methodological vehicle (either
single-study or evidence synthesis-based HEE); type of strategies to
evaluate (clinical or public health; preventive, diagnostic, curative,
palliative). Most of the items are generic and apply to any study
design; while some of them are particularly oriented to single-study or
evidence-synthesis/modeling studies.ConclusionsDiffusion and use of the
CHEERS checklist in Spanish will contribute to a more consistent and
transparent reporting of health economic evaluations in Spanish speaking
contexts.
