背景：卫生干预措施的经济评估在报告方面面临特殊挑战，因为必须传达大量信息以便对研究结果进行审查。尽管已发表的报告数量有所增加，但现有的报告指南并未得到广泛采用。还需要整合和更新现有指南，并以方便用户的方式促进其使用。清单是帮助作者、编辑和同行评审人员使用指南来改进报告的一种方法。
目的：工作组的总体目标是提供优化卫生经济评估报告的建议。《综合卫生经济评估报告标准》（CHEERS）声明试图将以前的卫生经济评估指南整合并更新为一个当前有用的报告指南。国际药物经济学与结果研究协会（ISPOR）卫生经济评估出版指南良好报告实践工作组的《CHEERS阐述与解释报告》通过为每项建议提供示例和解释，促进了CHEERS声明的使用。CHEERS声明的主要受众是报告经济评估的研究人员以及评估其是否可发表的编辑和同行评审人员。
方法：通过对医学编辑的一项调查确定了对新报告指南的需求。通过系统综述以及随后对工作组成员的调查，确定了先前发表的与报告经济评估相关的清单或指导文件。从这些工作中创建了一个可能项目的清单。一个由来自学术界、临床实践、工业界、政府以及编辑界的代表组成的两轮改良德尔菲小组，被用于从较大的清单中确定对报告至关重要的最少项目集。
结果：在44个候选项目中，制定了24个项目及相关建议，其中对基于单一研究和基于模型的经济评估有一些具体建议。最终的建议分为六个主要类别：1）标题和摘要，2）引言，3）方法，4）结果，5）讨论，6）其他。这些建议包含在CHEERS声明中，这是一个方便用户的24项清单。工作组报告提供了解释和阐述，以及每项建议的一个示例。国际药物经济学与结果研究协会的CHEERS声明可通过《健康价值》杂志或国际药物经济学与结果研究协会卫生经济评估出版指南良好报告实践 - CHEERS工作组网页（http://www.ispor.org/traskForces/EconomicPubGuidelines.asp）在线获取。
结论：我们希望国际药物经济学与结果研究协会的CHEERS声明以及相关的工作组报告指南将导致更一致和透明的报告，并最终做出更好的卫生决策。为了促进该指南更广泛的传播和采用，我们正在10种卫生经济学和医学期刊上共同发表CHEERS声明。我们鼓励其他期刊和团体考虑认可CHEERS声明。作者团队计划在5年后对清单进行审查以更新。
Background: Economic evaluations of health interventions pose a particular challenge for reporting because substantial information must be conveyed to allow scrutiny of study findings. Despite a growth in published reports, existing reporting guidelines are not widely adopted. There is also a need to consolidate and update existing guidelines and promote their use in a user-friendly manner. A checklist is one way to help authors, editors, and peer reviewers use guidelines to improve reporting. Objective: The task force's overall goal was to provide recommendations to optimize the reporting of health economic evaluations. The Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) statement is an attempt to consolidate and update previous health economic evaluation guidelines into one current, useful reporting guidance. The CHEERS Elaboration and Explanation Report of the ISPOR Health Economic Evaluation Publication Guidelines Good Reporting Practices Task Force facilitates the use of the CHEERS statement by providing examples and explanations for each recommendation. The primary audiences for the CHEERS statement are researchers reporting economic evaluations and the editors and peer reviewers assessing them for publication. Methods: The need for new reporting guidance was identified by a survey of medical editors. Previously published checklists or guidance documents related to reporting economic evaluations were identified from a systematic review and subsequent survey of task force members. A list of possible items from these efforts was created. A two-round, modified Delphi Panel with representatives from academia, clinical practice, industry, and government, as well as the editorial community, was used to identify a minimum set of items important for reporting from the larger list. Results: Out of 44 candidate items, 24 items and accompanying recommendations were developed, with some specific recommendations for single study-based and model-based economic evaluations. The final recommendations are subdivided into six main categories: 1) title and abstract, 2) introduction, 3) methods, 4) results, 5) discussion, and 6) other. The recommendations are contained in the CHEERS statement, a user-friendly 24-item checklist. The task force report provides explanation and elaboration, as well as an example for each recommendation. The ISPOR CHEERS statement is available online via Value in Health or the ISPOR Health Economic Evaluation Publication Guidelines Good Reporting Practices - CHEERS Task Force webpage (http://www.ispor.orgtraskForces/EconomicPubGuidelines.asp). Conclusions: We hope that the ISPOR CHEERS statement and the accompanying task force report guidance will lead to more consistent and transparent reporting, and ultimately, better health decisions. To facilitate wider dissemination and uptake of this guidance, we are copublishing the CHEERS statement across 10 health economics and medical journals. We encourage other journals and groups to consider endorsing the CHEERS statement. The author team plans to review the checklist for an update in 5 years.
