[CLOSED] Public consultation on “the use of Intravenous immunoglobulins for Alzheimer’s disease including Mild Cognitive Impairment”

We are happy to announce that the second Core HTA produced within the EUnetHTA Joint Action 2 Work Package 4 is available for public feedback. The topic assessed is “Use of Intravenous immunoglobulins for Alzheimer’s disease including Mild Cognitive Impairment”

This consultation will take place between June 18th and July 15th, 2015.

Objective of public consultation
The aim of this consultation is to obtain feedback on the validity of the core HTA for its intended primary use.

A Core HTA is an extensive package of HTA information intended to serve as an information base for the production of local (e.g. national or regional) HTAs. Most information in the core HTAare presented as “result cards”, each of which contains one or few research question(s) and answer(s) to the question(s). The cards are produced and presented in a structure of nine domains (e.g. effectiveness or ethics), each providing an overview of the technology from a specific perspective.

Content of Public Consultation Survey Forms

The survey is rather extensive, but respondents can select which parts to use. Background information (page 2) about respondent and his/her organisation are (at least partially) mandatory to all respondents. Part A (page 3) contains general questions about the core HTA. We urge all participants of the public consultation to answer those questions. Part B (pages 4-12) contains nine identical pages, each focusing on one of the nine HTA domains included in the HTA Core Model. Please select any number (0-9) of these domains based on your interest. You may skip domains to which you do not want to give feedback.
