Objectives: To assess the potential number of European Union (EU) population(s), intervention, comparator(s), and outcomes (PICOs) based on European Network for Health Technology Assessment 21 (EUnetHTA 21) guidance and to explore further evidence-based opportunities to produce more predictable and workable EU PICOs.
Methods: The consolidated EU PICOs of 2 future hypothetical medicines in first-line non-small cell lung cancer (1L NSCLC) and third line multiple myeloma (3L MM) were derived using published health technology assessment reports of 2 recent medicines in similar indications based on EUnetHTA 21 proposed guidance. Sensitivity analysis assessed the impact of additional PICO requests.
Medicine shortages may negatively impact patient care and the patient experience. Shortages should be a priority of industry, supply chain stakeholders and national competent authorities, and deserve more than empathy or "lip-service" but serious engagement and action. Under the overarching principle that without correct measurements in place there cannot be any improvement in overall performance (1), stakeholders in the pharmaceutical supply chain, notably pharmaceutical manufacturers have made the call for all relevant sources of information to be used in order to provide additional intelligence about the root causes and drivers of shortages, including the identification of bottlenecks in the supply chain.

The concept presented here can be implemented in any structure that has a microstrip in its configuration. The EBG structure is first analyzed using a full wave electromagnetic solver and then optimized to work at WLAN band (5.
