Key Messages

  • Bayesian hierarchical models (BHMs) have emerged as a way to model information from basket trials, but there is limited information on how to use information from BHMs in economic evaluations.
  • In consultation with researchers with expertise in this area, we have published a document that addresses this information gap.
  • Our document describes areas for appraisal that we will consider when assessing economic evaluations informed by BHMs, outlines a set of methods that can be used for informing economic evaluations based on basket trials, and highlights areas for further research.
