“…These findings probably apply to most young people in Sweden, as Swedish registers are known for good coverage and high quality 28. Nonetheless, some methodological drawbacks need to be underlined.…”

“…Each parent's socioeconomic position was defined in accordance with a classification used by Statistics Sweden, which is primarily based on occupation, but takes educational level of occupation, type of production, and position at work into account 28. The categorisation is based on the ‘dominance’ principle developed by Erikson 29.…”

“…Thus, research projects can be classified as etiologic, interventional, policy analysis, health service, theoretical, methodological or healthcare system studies [29]. Based on the type of study, the expected economic impact, the time required to assess the impact, and comprehensive and practical indicators, should be clearly defined and specified.…”

BackgroundThe economic benefits of healthcare research require study so that appropriate resources can be allocated to this research, particularly in developing countries. As a first step, we performed a systematic review to identify the methods used to assess the economic impact of healthcare research, and the outcomes.MethodAn electronic search was conducted in relevant databases using a combination of specific keywords. In addition, 21 relevant Web sites were identified.ResultsThe initial search yielded 8,416 articles. After studying titles, abstracts, and full texts, 18 articles were included in the analysis. Eleven other reports were found on Web sites. We found that the outcomes assessed as healthcare research payback included direct cost-savings, cost reductions in healthcare delivery systems, benefits from commercial advancement, and outcomes associated with improved health status. Two methods were used to study healthcare research payback: macro-economic studies, which examine the relationship between research studies and economic outcome at the aggregated level, and case studies, which examine specific research projects to assess economic impact.ConclusionsOur study shows that different methods and outcomes can be used to assess the economic impacts of healthcare research. There is no unique methodological approach for the economic evaluation of such research. In our systematic search we found no research that had evaluated the economic return of research in low and middle income countries. We therefore recommend a consensus on practical guidelines at international level on the basis of more comprehensive methodologies (such as Canadian Academic of Health Science and payback frameworks) in order to build capacity, arrange for necessary informative infrastructures and promote necessary skills for economic evaluation studies.

“…In an international evaluation of Swedish public health research, it was concluded that Sweden is one of the world leaders in public health research including epidemiology and register-based research. 8 The use of the HDR has resulted in numerous research articles in different fields.…”

Study design: Register study. Objectives: To design and implement a validation process to check the completeness of the Hospital Discharge Register (HDR) held by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. Setting: Sweden. Methods: An accurate traumatic spinal cord injury prevalence group (n ¼ 495) was acquired from the Swedish Spinalis Clinic. A register control was performed on the group by raising three questions to check the validity of the HDR: Is an inpatient stay registered in association with the injury date? Is the reported first length of stay plausible, given the level and extent of injury? Are all the anticipated care and/or rehabilitation providers represented in the HDR? Results: For 62% (of 413 cases) the first registered hospitalization date correlated with the injury date. For the other 38%, hospitalization was reported to start between 2 and 8651 days after injury. Considering the level and extent of injury, individuals were reported to have unrealistically short initial hospitalization. The prevalence group visited 42 different hospitals and 47 clinics. Five rehabilitation clinics, though, were not reported. Conclusions: The HDR is a valuable source when conducting epidemiological and health services research. However, using the register without any validation process could, as detected in the investigated diagnosis group, lead to a severe underestimation of the inpatient usage. The study showed that systematic errors could be detected by means of extensive knowledge of the diagnosis group.
