Covid-19: HSS/ Horizon Scanning Living Document (v12 March 2021)
The establishment of a HSS/ Horizon Scanning System for Covid19 interventions has the intentions of informing health policy makers at an early stage which interventions (vaccinations and drugs) are currently undergoing clinical trials and to monitor them over the next few months in order to support evidence-based purchasing if necessary. The products are monitored with regard to the status of the clinical studies up to approval and finally evaluated for their benefit and harm.
All work steps are conducted in close international (European) cooperation.

Lung Cancer Screening in Risk Groups: A Review-Update of the Economic Evidence (Part II)
Recent evidence on the effectiveness of lung cancer screening with low dose computed tomography (LDCT), such as the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) or the Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NELSON), seems to confirm a potential relative lung cancer mortality reduction (although not in overall mortality) from the LDCT-screening. Since then, a considerable body of new evidence also emerged on the cost-effectiveness of LDCT-screening for lung cancer. In this context, the present systematic review aimed to provide an update of the evidence on the cost-effectiveness, cost-utility and budget impact of LDCT lung cancer screening in adult persons without confirmed or suspected lung cancer but at elevated risk, with a special focus on the health economic methodologies.
