Cost analyses in randomized trials on robot-assisted surgery: systematic review

Randomized trials comparing RAS with other surgical approaches rarely perform adequate cost assessments and cost-effectiveness analyses. The substantial risk of bias, methodological heterogeneity, and partial cost reporting observed underline the need for uniform economic evaluation in RCTs on RAS. Registration number: CRD42024520677 (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/).

Abstract

Randomized trials comparing RAS with other surgical approaches rarely perform adequate cost assessments and cost-effectiveness analyses. The substantial risk of bias, methodological heterogeneity, and partial cost reporting observed underline the need for uniform economic evaluation in RCTs on RAS. Registration number: CRD42024520677 (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/).
