Popis: Objective: Quantify use of indirect comparisons (IC) in drug evaluation reports published on the GENESIS Group web page for new drug assessment, standardisation, and drug selection research. Method: Retrospective study of drug reports written between 2008 and 2009. Data collected: presence of an active comparator and details from any direct and indirect comparative studies included. Results: An active comparator was present in 95% of the 337 analysed reports; 50% included a direct comparative study vs comparator. In 114 reports (34%), an IC was used; 69% of the ICs were made by the report author. Most ICs were narrative and none were adjusted. An IC could have been made in an additional 16% of the cases and possibly in 24% more. Conclusions: Most evaluated drugs have an active comparator but studies comparing them directly are not as common. ICs could be included in more reports along with quality control criteria.
