This is great news for ISPOR student and LMIC members. The CEVR registry is an invaluable tool - both for researchers trying to find high quality cost-effectiveness analyses within a specific clinical area and for those looking a bigger trends in the economic evaluation literature. #HEOR #EconSky
We're excited to announce Tufts-CEVR's new partnership with ISPOR to provide free, premium access to the CEA Registry for ISPOR members who are students or researchers in LMICs.

Good piece by @araymakers.bsky.social et al. using the Tufts CEA Registry:
"Concerns over CEAs identifying subgroups in their analyses do not appear to be justified & does not warrant precluding the use of #QALYs for decision-making or price negotiation for drugs."
