One reviewer screened potentially relevant records for eligibility, checked by a second reviewer. Pairs of independent reviewers extracted information on the methods used in included EVAs using a prepiloted form; these were checked for accuracy.

Five Reports did not specify how many reviewers undertook screening, whereas five did not report data extraction methods. Five EVAs planned to conduct meta-analyses, nine planned narrative syntheses, and seven planned narrative summaries. Eleven conceptual decision models were presented, with available evidence used to construct cost-utility analyses (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a05); cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs;\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a04); a mix of CEAs and cost-consequence analyses (CCA;\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a02); one CCA; and one cost-comparison.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0266462325100433_sec34\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Future EVA Reports should enhance the transparency of the methods used.
