Record Status This is a bibliographic record of a published health technology assessment from a member of INAHTA. No evaluation of the quality of this assessment has been made for the HTA database. Citation Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers: OHTAC recommendation. Toronto: Health Quality Ontario (HQO). 2017 Authors' conclusions The Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee accepted the findings of the health
technology assessment conducted by Health Quality Ontario.
There is a large degree of uncertainty in both the clinical and economic evidence for hyperbaric
oxygen therapy, meaning that it is unclear how effective hyperbaric oxygen therapy is and how
cost-effective it is. Given this uncertainty, the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee
decided the evidence was insufficient to make a recommendation to publicly fund or not fund
hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating diabetic foot ulcers.
