I.1. Scoping searches

A broad preliminary search of the literature was undertaken in September 2014 to obtain an overview of the issues likely to be covered by the scope, and to help define key areas. Searches were limited to full and partial economic evaluations, and quality of life studies.

  • NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED) (Cochrane Library)
  • Excerpta Medica Database (Embase)
  • HTA database (technology assessments)
  • Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/MEDLINE In-Process).

Further information about this process can be found in Developing NICE guidelines: the manual.

I.2. Systematic search

Each search was constructed using the groups of terms set out in Text Box 1. The selection of search terms was kept broad to maximise retrieval of evidence in a wide range of areas of interest to the Guideline Committee.
