Background: Limitations have been reported to comply with good methodological practices in the development of health technology assessments (HTA). Therefore, the objective of the present study was to describe the methodological characteristics of the HTAs carried out in Peru, between 2019-2021. Methods: Descriptive study. We are looking for Peruvian institutions that prepare HTAs whose reports are accessible to the public. We collected the total number of HTAs produced by these institutions per year, and we collected the characteristics of the HTAs produced during the 2019-2021 period. Results: Three Peruvian institutions developed at least three public HTAs between 2019-2021: The Institute for the Evaluation of Technologies in Health and Research (IETSI) (n=142), the Unit for the Analysis and Generation of Evidence in Public Health (UNAGESP) (n=60), and the National Institute of Neoplas...

Objective: To estimate the role of age as a predictor of COVID-19 severity in pediatric patients hospitalized with a COVID-19 diagnosis at a reference hospital in Peru. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including pediatric patients from one month old to less than 14 years of age, hospitalized between May 2020 and December 31, 2021, at the Edgardo Rebagliati-Martins National Hospital. The exposure variable was age, categorized in six-month intervals. The outcome variable was the severity of COVID-19, determined according to the severity criteria established in the EsSalud Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of COVID-19 in pediatrics. Crude and adjusted relative risks (RR) were estimated, with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: Three-hundred and thirty-one patients were analyzed, their median age was 94 months (7,8 year...
