Objective To systematically review the studies on the clinical comprehensive evaluation system of drugs at home and abroad. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect the literature and policy documents of the clinical comprehensive evaluation system of drugs from inception to October 31, 2022. The evaluation organization, evaluation perspective, application scope, domains and criteria were sorted out, and the evaluation of different types of drugs was analyzed in detail. Results A total of 101 clinical comprehensive evaluation systems of drugs were included. The publishing time was from 2009 to 2022, and the number of published articles increased. The first author mainly came from 26 countries, including China (n=34), Canada (n=11), the United States (n=10), and Spain (n=10). Forty-seven articles reported the evaluation perspective. All evaluation systems could be used for drug evaluation, of which 43 could be used as universal evaluation tools, and 58 could be used for the evaluation of specific drugs, mainly including anti-tumor drugs (n=15), orphan drugs (n=10) and traditional Chinese medicine (n=7). The number of evaluation domains varied from 2 to 22, and the number of criteria varied from 4 to 56. Among them, economics (n=73), effectiveness (n=72), safety (n=54), disease demand/burden (n=34), and innovation (n=24) were the most frequent evaluation domains. Conclusion The research on clinical comprehensive evaluation of drugs at home and abroad has grown up. During the implementation of clinical comprehensive evaluation of Chinese patent medicine, it is necessary to clarify the evaluation perspective, define the evaluation scope, and determine the evaluation domains.
