Bridging the gap between evidence and practice: introducing hospital-based health technology assessment in Ukraine.
Article in International journal of technology assessment in health care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment (HB-HTA) within Ukraine's healthcare system, focusing on its potential to strengthen evidence-based decision-making regarding clinical effectiveness, safety, cost-efficiency, and organizational and strategic impact of health technologies (HTs) in healthcare facilities (HCFs).
methodsWe collected and synthesized key initiatives implemented between 2021 and 2025, outlining the main steps involved in introducing HB-HTA in Ukraine.
resultsThe article describes the landscape of the Ukrainian healthcare system and shares the experience of the initial steps of HB-HTA introduction amid tight budgets and increasing demands. Drawing on international models and adapting them to the national context, we outline key implementation strategies, the development of scientific and methodological approaches for HB-HTA, and the integration of a pilot HB-HTA project within a leading national HCF known for its high-level diagnostic and operational capabilities.
conclusionsThe conducted pilot laid the groundwork for integrating HB-HTA into Ukraine's healthcare system and demonstrated its role in empowering HCFs to guide smarter budget allocation and procurement decisions, especially in the context of decentralization. With continued investment in expertise, legal integration, and streamlined methodology, HB-HTA can become a cornerstone of transparent, cost-effective decision-making across the HCFs of the National healthcare system. The experience gained in Ukraine provides valuable insights that can support other countries in effectively adopting and utilizing HTs at the hospital level.
