Lidia Engel – Award recipient for the best student oral presentation at the HTAi meeting 2014
Health Technology Assessment international (HTAi) is the global scientific and professional society for health technology assessment. The 2014 annual meeting, held in Washington DC, focused on optimizing patient-centered care in an era of economic uncertainty.
Lidia Engel, PhD student at SFU and research assistant at C2E2, presented work on ‘Examining Exclusion Criteria in National Health State Valuation Studies: a Systematic Review’ and received an award for the best student oral presentation.
The project has been conducted with several C2E2 members (including David Whitehurst, Nick Bansback, Mimi Doyle-Waters, and Stirling Bryan) and highlights considerable variation in the exclusion criteria used by analysts when deriving national tariffs for preference-based health-related quality of life instruments. A manuscript of this review is currently in preparation for a submission to a peer-reviewed journal.
