Abstract:
Background: With the growth in using economic evaluation to inform budget decisions, challenges in applying standard methods to special populations are increasingly apparent. This is especially true for pediatric economic evaluation. Compared to adults, children display unique patterns of morbidity and mortality, unique patterns of health resource use, and depend on a parent or caregiver to act as gatekeeper and reporter. Moreover, valid methods to measure health state utilities in newborns, infants, and toddlers do not exist. These issues create challenges for the conduct of economic evaluation in children as well as the use and interpretation of evidence by HTA agencies and funding decision-makers.
