Assessment Report 2010 (004)

 

Evidence based assessment report 2010/004

Background

The latest evidence-based assessment report was considered by SHTG on 7 October 2010. Of particular note this quarter is evidence note 31 on open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer.
 
For the first time, the report also contains a new section with SHTG Advice Statements, which is a new product for SHTG. These Advice Statements will usually accompany scoping reports, evidence notes, health technology assessments and systematic reviews and outline the view of SHTG on the clinical and cost effectiveness evidence in a consistent manner and, where appropriate, give a view on the cost and service implications to NHSScotland.
