METHODS: A systematic review of the literature using PubMed and Cochrane databases was conducted to identify EES in pediatric surgery published between 1 June 1993 and 30 June 2013.

Logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with high quality studies. RESULTS: 119 studies were included. 43.7% (n=52) of studies were full EES. Cost-effectiveness analysis was the most frequent (61.5%) type of full EES. Only 31.6% of studies had a Drummond score >/=7 and 73% of these were full EES.
