Abstract

Health technology assessment (HTA) is implemented in the decision-making process for the reimbursement and pricing of drugs and medical devices around the world. This study presented the trend and characteristics of HTA research in Japan and worldwide. HTA research increased since the 2010s. Cancer was a prominent subject and the Markov model was a major analytical model in HTA research both globally and in Japan. In Japan, osteoporosis was a more popular topic, but there were fewer surgical research and review articles compared to the global trend. Since Japanese articles on HTA were much fewer than those from the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, various types of HTA research should be encouraged in Japan to promote product innovation and optimize medical expenditures.
