International journal of integrated care, 2019•ncbi.nlm.nih.govResults: Forty-four articles were eligible for inclusion. The review found that study design,

areas with most quality variation. Authors identified challenges mostly related to time horizon
of the evaluation, inadequate or lack of comparator group, contamination bias, and a post-

Results:
Forty-four articles were eligible for inclusion. The review found that study design, measurement of cost and outcomes, statistical analysis and presentation of data were the areas with most quality variation. Authors identified challenges mostly related to time horizon of the evaluation, inadequate or lack of comparator group, contamination bias, and a post-hoc evaluation culture.
Discussion:
Our review found significant differences in quality, with some studies showing poor methodological rigor; challenging conclusions on the cost-effectiveness of integrated care.
Conclusion:
It is essential for evaluators to use best-practice standards when planning and conducting economic evaluations, in order to build a reliable evidence base for decision-making in integrated care.
