| Summary of Findings | 71% (30/42) of the included 42 systematic reviews of economic evaluations published in MEDLINE in 2013 included a search of general bibliographic databases beyond MEDLINE and Embase. Sixty-nine percent of reviews used supplementary search techniques (29/42). Five reviews (12 percent) met or exceeded the search resources recommended by NICE (MEDLINE, Embase, NHS EED, EconLit). Search reporting was frequently unclear or incorrect. |
