JMCP 2022 CHEERS Statement: Reporting Guidance Updates for Health Economics Evaluations

The 2022 Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) statement has just been published in the Journal of Managed Care + Specialty Pharmacy. The 28 guidelines set a standard for researchers reporting their health economics findings in peer-reviewed journals. However, they can be helpful for analysts and researchers planning their own health economics studies.

According to the statement, “The CHEERS 2022 statement (checklist and Explanation and Elaboration report) replaces the 2013 CHEERS statement, which should no longer be used. The new CHEERS checklist contains 28 items with accompanying descriptions (Table 1). Major changes from CHEERS 2013 are described in Box 1. Checklist items are subdivided into seven main categories: (1) Title; (2) Abstract; (3) Introduction; (4) Methods; (5) Results; (6) Discussion; and (7) Other relevant information. Users of the checklist should first consult the Explanation and Elaboration report to ensure the appropriate interpretation of each item description.”
