Description
Ally Robert and Smarth Lakhanpal review how structured expert elicitation has been used in British reviews of rare disease treatments. The method gathers expert views in a formal, statistical way. It helps when trial data are thin, as with rare diseases and new technologies.
The authors screened twenty-seven submissions made through a special pathway for very rare conditions. Every one used expert evidence, and many mixed two or three methods, led by interviews and surveys. Most evidence backed core value measures such as healthy years gained. Claims about wider gains, like family impact, were less often accepted. Winning submissions explained why no other data source would do and used large expert pools.
