Horizon Scanning in Oncology – Prioritisation of new and emerging oncologic drugs
Within the project Horizon Scanning in Oncology 9 databases are frequently scanned to identify new/emerging oncologic drugs. Every 3 months, these drugs are filtered according to predefined criteria (i.e. in most instances availability of phase III study results) and are then prioritised by an expert panel to identify those therapies for which either a substantial clinical or financial impact can be expected.

Sustainability of inpatient psychiatric rehabilitation for adults: systematic review
Against the backdrop of an increase in disability pensions due to mental health disorders, the aim of this review was a systematic analysis of the sustainability of inpatient psychiatric/ psychosomatic rehabilitation covering an observation period of at least 12 months after discharge from rehabilitation.
Overall, included studies (1 meta-analysis, 4 RCTs, 2 pre-post studies with, and 14 without a control group) showed similar trends: the improvement between admission and discharge deteriorated to varying degrees during the catamnestic period. Nevertheless, results remained better than at admission, though. In studies on specific aftercare we observed a trend towards an improved stabilization of treatment effects.

Treatment by clinical psychologists: Literature overview on training, methods of treatment and areas of application
In Austria, the ASVG (General Law on Social Security) currently includes clinical-psychological diagnostics, but not treatment by clinical psychologists. The LBI-HTA compiled a literature overview on “treatment by clinical psychologists” on behalf of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health: Part I includes a comparison of training requirements of clinical psychologists in several countries and analyses Austrian stakeholder views systematically, part II presents a literature overview on treatment methods and indication areas in the international scientific literature.
