This project aims to propose an additional and unified screening package for the Thai population, building upon that offered already by the UC, which will be useful to allocate resources more efficiently and reduce the inequity gap among the three insurance scheme beneficiary groups.   1. To prioritize diseases  for screening  based on availab

This research aimed to develop the population-based preference scores of the EQ-5D-5L (the 5L), Thai version in an effort to compare the measurement properties of the 5L with those of the EQ-5D-3L (the 3L), and to compare the results of an economic evaluation from a 2014 study that used the 5L compared with the 3L. To elicit population-based prefer

The purpose of this study is to compare the cost-utility of each treatment option available today in order to determine the most cost-effective treatment compared with standard treatment in the social perspective. Research methodology is an economic evaluation by using the markov model to compare the cost and utility of treatment options of new pat

An aim of this project is to prioritise Health Technology Assessment (HTA) topics.Topic prioritisation process consists of three key principles namely,1) the entire process and results must be transparent;2) the process as well as the prioritised list should be reflect benefits of the society; and3) the participation from multiple groups of stakeho

Although HITAP strictly follows national HTA methodological guidelines, questions over the good governance of research arose from a lack of formal process guidelines. Therefore, HITAP embarked on the development of HTA process guidelines in 2011. International guidelines were reviewed in order to develop a conceptual framework, with the aim of conn

Imatinib, the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has been used widely as a first-line treatment for newly diagnosed CML patients. Approximately 20-30% of CML patients are resistant or intolerant to the drug, and half of these cases are due to a gene mutation in the ABL domain. Recently, second generation TKIs have emerged, such as dasatinib and

Objective: This study aims to assess the cost-utility of providing either trivalent live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) or trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) to school-aged children to prevent seasonal influenza. Methods: A deterministic age-structured dynamic transmission model was constructed and used to evaluate economic conse

Among sensory impairment, hearing impairment is most found in the general population worldwide. WHO estimated in 2011 that more than 360 million people (5% of the world population) have disabling hearing loss. In the Thai population, the prevalence of hearing loss is 4%. Consequences of hearing impairment include inability to interpret speech sound
