Abstract:

The evaluation of health technologies (HTA), as a scientific and technological practice, is, at the same time, a challenge in order to determine the value of the technologies to be incorporated. This study aimed to explore and compare the results and technical elements of the evaluations issued for rare diseases, between the English (NICE) and the Brazilian agency’s (CONITEC). The first part of the study involved the systematic search for evaluations2013 to 2019. In the second stage, the reports were analyzed based on: (i) descriptive narrative review; and (ii) calculation of the absolute and relative frequency according to each domain and component (element) applied in the European HTA network model. A total of 24 medicines were distinctly assessed during the study period. Through 126 questions (elements) distributed among nine domains, the analysis revealed that 67 (53.2%) and 44 (35.0%) were described in the reports, 42 (33.3%) and 59 (47.0 %) were only considered partially and 17 (13.5%) and 23 (18.0%) were not considered in the NICE and CONITEC reports, respectively. The Brazilian agency\'s relatively low agreement with the English agency was found in reports issued for rare diseases. It remains to be seen whether the agencies are able to capture the various values of these medicines, as well as manage uncertainties in the evaluations.
