: Economic evaluations are widely used tools that greatly contribute to evidence-based health policy and decision-making. However, economic evidence is not commonly used in the countries of the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Region.: The aim of this scoping review is to map the existing literature of health economic evaluation studies in the countries of the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Region. Also, the review aims to identify the research gaps in the field of health economic evaluation in the region and finally provide recommendations for research and policy making. We searched six electronic databases. Six items were extracted from each of the included studies: first author, publication year, country of the study, study type, health technology assessed, and perspective.: The quality and quantity of HEE studies should be improved in the region. There is a need to follow evidence-based methodological rigor to aid in informed health-care decision-making and efficient use of health-care resources.
经济评估是广泛使用的工具，对循证卫生政策和决策有很大贡献。然而，经济证据在世界卫生组织东地中海区域各国并不常用。
本范围综述的目的是梳理世界卫生组织东地中海区域各国卫生经济评估研究的现有文献。此外，该综述旨在确定该区域卫生经济评估领域的研究差距，并最终为研究和政策制定提供建议。我们检索了六个电子数据库。从每项纳入研究中提取了六个项目：第一作者、出版年份、研究国家、研究类型、评估的卫生技术以及视角。
该区域卫生经济评估研究的质量和数量应予以提高。需要遵循循证方法的严谨性，以帮助做出明智的医疗保健决策并有效利用医疗保健资源。
