RESUMO
Pharmacoeconomic evaluation is the essential supporting information for the inclusion of rare disease drugs into medical insurance in China. The accurate measurement of the health state utility of rare diseas is of practical significance to the development of rare disease pharmacoeconomic evaluation. Based on the review of pharmacoeconomic evaluation requirements for rare diseases in some countries/regions, we systematically retrieved the published studies on the measurement of health state utility for 121 rare diseases in China and other countries and regions. We identified 17 591 papers in the initial review, and later selected 230 after screening. We also made a comprehensive analysis of the quality of literature, evaluation content and use of tools for measuring health state utility in rare diseases in China. Finally, we analyzed the challenges in measurement in terms of population, instruments use, and application of results and made recommendations based on analysis, hoping to provide reference for the development of rare disease health state utility measurement studies in China.
