“…The only long-term large-scale population-based studies in an industrialised country were from Japan. 28,32,46,55,56 All other population-based programmes were carried out in either the Indian subcontinent 53,54,60,64,65,[67][68][69]83 or Cuba 82 and tended to rely on non-professional staff or specifically trained health workers/volunteers to screen large numbers of participants. Methods of recruitment varied from opportunistic to invitational, and targeted populations varied both in terms of age (from 20+ to 60+ years old) and other risk behaviours such as tobacco and alcohol consumption.…”

HTAThe cost-effectiveness of screening for oral cancer in primary care ii NHS R&D HTA Programme T he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, service-users groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including service users) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities.

Cost‐effectiveness of oral cancer screening approaches by visual examination: Systematic review

et al. 2021

The present study is the first systematic review of papers that have performed a full economic evaluation on oral cancer screening strategies using visual oral examination. The review questions were (1) Is screening a cost-effective strategy in oral cancer? (2) What is the most cost-effective strategy among the different screening approaches in oral cancer? The main outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. The study identifies and reviews seven full economic evaluations. The included studies scored 75%-100% on the methodological appraisal. Majority of the studies reports that oral cancer screening is a cost-effective strategy, especially in an opportunistic setting and high-risk subset of patients. The results were sensitive to cost and effectiveness parameters. Oral cancer screening, though found cost-effective, the uncertainty around these parameters necessitates additional studies that include better estimates in the modeling assessments. The heterogeneity in studies limited comparison and generalization.

Objectives If economic evaluations are to be used by decision makers, such evidence has to be robust so that the relevant policy maker use them. This study was undertaken with the purpose of identifying economic evaluations done on oral health preventive programs and to assess the standard of economic evidence in this field. Methods A systematic search was conducted using four major electronic databases in order to search for economic evaluations done on oral health preventive programs. This included economic evaluations that were published between January 1975 and May 2018 on preventive interventions for periodontal disease, oral cancer screening, and other common oral health conditions. To avoid duplications with previous studies, for dental caries interventions, this review included studies from April 2012 and May 2018. “Guidance to undertaking reviews in health care,” developed by York University, was used to assess the quality of reporting in the evaluations, using which strengths and shortcomings were identified. Results A total of 2026 records were initially found. After title and abstract screening, and elimination by full text review, 33 relevant economic evaluations were identified. Majority of the economic evaluations included were conducted on dental caries prevention; a few were done on oral cancer screening, periodontal disease, and general preventive dentistry (health promotion, oral hygiene etc.). Conclusions In comparison to the findings observed in previous reviews, there has been improvements in the quality of reporting in economic evaluations. Several areas still in need for improve were identified (e.g., productivity costs, currency and prices, and generalizability issues).
