The NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHSEED; Economic Evaluations) database contains bibliographical information and appraisals of economic evaluations in which costs as well as outcomes of treatment and care alternatives in health care are compared. The source of NHSEED are databases like MEDLINE and EMBASE as well as magazines (hand search) and working papers of specialised working groups, and HTA institutions. Depending on the document type a critical appraisal on the quality of the original study is offered as structured abstract. It gives information on up to forty different aspects like health technology, disease, study population, study design, type of intervention, and currency. The appraisals are written by experts of the NHS. The following study types are gathered: economic studies, cost-benefit analyses, cost-utility analyses, cost-effectiveness analyses, cost-minimisation analyses, cost-consequence analyses as well as systematic reviews of economic studies.
