Our Rare Diseases team recently conducted research, commissioned by the UK BioIndustry Associated (BIA) Rare Disease Industry Group, which estimated the socioeconomic burden of rare diseases in the UK.

Evidence Development Methodologies in Rare Diseases

Our Rare Diseases team have recently published two pieces of internal research in leading Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) journals.

We’ve developed the first set of published recommendations on collecting clinical expert judgement in rare diseases.

We also conducted an SLR to review methods for generating utility data in rare diseases. The review highlights a need for appropriate disease-specific measures, and better reporting of vignette development.
