“…Sources of resource use and unit costs, currency and cost year, and the methods of resource use valuation (i.e., cost/charge, cost-to-charge ratio) were well defined in all studies. The majority of studies (26/43; 60%) reported adequately on the methodology of estimating costs [ 22 – 24 , 43 , 44 , 49 , 50 , 57 – 60 , 63 , 66 – 72 , 75 – 77 , 85 , 87 , 88 , 116 ]; in 14 (33%), the costing approach was concluded by the information reported and relevant guidelines by Drummond et al [ 91 ], although not explicitly stated [ 25 , 45 – 47 , 53 – 55 , 64 , 65 , 81 , 86 , 89 , 90 , 118 ]; three studies (10%), only published as abstracts, did not provide any information on the costing methodology [ 34 , 73 , 97 ].…”
