We comment on a recent article by Hawkins et al. presenting different analytic approaches for the inclusion of surrogate and final outcomes in cost-effectiveness analyses. This methodological case study provides a timely and valuable contribution to build on the debate about the use of evidence based on surrogate outcomes in health technology assessment.
我们对 Hawkins 等人最近发表的一篇文章进行了评论,该文章提出了在成本效益分析中纳入替代和最终结局的不同分析方法。这项方法学案例研究为基于替代结局的证据在卫生技术评估中的使用这一争论提供了及时且有价值的贡献。
