1 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening Survey Report for retrieving information on the use of technology in European countries This document describes the process of retrieving information on the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening technology made via a survey sent to European Countries through EUnetHTA Partner Agencies. This survey form an integral part of EUnetHTA Joint Action 1 Work Package 4 Core HTA. Important notice: This is a FINAL version of the Survey Report. It can be used as reference in the WP4 Core HTA 2 on AAA Screening by single domain for integration with the information included in each Domain text.

2 Introduction This report describes the Survey carried out as part of the EUnetHTA Joint Action 1 within Work Package 4 Strand B Core HTA 2 on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening. The survey was done for getting information on the use of AAA screening in European Countries; the information retrieved was used and integrated by each single Domain in the Core HTA. Description During the first phase of the Core HTA project on AAA Screening a literature search was made by the researchers working in the 9 domains that compose the Core HTA; following these basic literature review, a need for a further way for gathering information on the technology assessed emerged in different domains (mostly the Health Problem and Current Use and Cost and economic evaluation Domains). During the 2 nd face to face meeting of EUnetHTA Work Package 4 Strand B (Wien, September ) it was decided that each domain team would prepare some questions on their specific context. For technical aspects, support was asked to Work Package 3 Evaluation ; it was the decided to use an electronic survey through Survey Monkey, a web based tool for surveys that is free and easy to set up. Between October and November 2011, Agenas, as WP4 Strand B Lead Partner, gathered questions from each domain; furthermore it was decided that it would be better to have only one answer from each country so it was decided for each European country which EunetHTA Partner would receive the survey (for countries with more than one agency inside EUnetHTA). For each selected Agencies it was used the official contact person e mail address. On November 30 th, an official mail containing the link to the survey was sent out to 28 Partners, one for each Country; deadline for answers was set to after 3 weeks (December 21th 2011). After the deadline, as only 6 responses were collected a second communication was sent via e mail to the same contact person. On January 27 th 2012 the survey was closed and results gathered together; they were shared among the AAA Screening group on February 2 nd 2012; a total of 10 responses were collected from 10 different countries. Results of the survey was also presented during the Work Package 4 Strand B Workshop 3 (Wien, April th 2012); to have a higher response rate, the AAA Screening Group decided to send out again the survey to European Partners. On April 24 th the survey communication was sent out again to official contact persons and to all Primary Investigators of AAA Screening Group; the deadline for responses was set to May 6th
3 A final total of 13 responses to the survey were gathered and shared within AAA Screening Group on May 10 th. Survey The following version is the.doc one of the Survey. The on line version was set up with Survey Monkey tool ( some minor changes in the structure of the survey were made to fit it with restrictions of the web tool used.

19 Background of the project In 2005 the first project of establishing a sustainable European Network on Health Technology Assessment (HTA) was set up with funds from the European Commission and the Council of Ministers; the first project included a group of 35 organizations in 27 European countries with the coordination of the Danish Centre for Evaluation and HTA. The main strategic objective of the network was to actively connect different HTA agencies and institutions, at national and/or regional level, in order to enable an effective exchange of information and to support policy makers decisions. The first step was to set up an organizational framework for a European Network on HTA and the development of practical tools and services. After the successful completion of the EunetHTA Project ( ) the EUnetHTA Collaboration further developed the pillars for a sustainable and permanent collaboration for HTA in Europe. In Founding Partners of EUnetHTA Collaboration joined forces with other partners and the European Commission to implement results of the previous projects through a Joint Action on HTA : a total of 55 organisation committed their resources to participate in the planned activities within the framework of the EunetHTA Joint Action. The overarching objective of the EUnetHTA Joint Action (JA) is to put into practice an effective and sustainable HTA collaboration in Europe that brings added value at the European, national and regional level. In October 2012 a second Joint Action will start and it will led to the creation of a permanent and sustainaible European Network for HTA throught the development of a general strategy, principals and an implementation proposal, according to the requirements of Article 15 of the Directive for cross border healthcare. 19
