Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on traditional cost-effectiveness analysis without incorporating broader value frameworks or real-world applications. - Pharmaceutical Pricing Strategies:
Research centered on pharmaceutical pricing strategies has decreased, potentially due to increased scrutiny and regulatory changes surrounding drug pricing in various countries. - Single-Arm Trials in Economic Evaluations:
The use of single-arm trials for economic evaluations has become less frequent as the preference shifts towards more robust comparative effectiveness studies that utilize real-world data. - Basic Health Technology Assessments:
Basic assessments without a comprehensive value perspective are declining, as stakeholders increasingly seek integrated approaches that consider multiple dimensions of value.
