背景虽然进行经济评估的标准方法已经发展，但很少注意在儿童等特殊人群中进行这些研究。目标.建立儿科经济学评价数据库，并检查20年期间出版特征的趋势。研究设计。该数据库是通过多学科检索策略、手动审查、应用入选/排除标准、数据提取和可靠性评估创建的。描述性统计被用来总结1980年至1999年期间出版量、疾病类别、干预类型和年龄组的趋势。结果从12个期刊数据库中识别的5600篇引文中，有787篇被纳入完整的儿科经济学评价。1980年至1984年和1995年至1999年期间，出版物的数量增加了7倍，从每5年61次到440次。大多数研究是在1至12岁的儿童中进行的，婴儿研究的频率越来越高。最常见的疾病类别是感染性/寄生虫病，占研究的24%。对先天畸形和妊娠并发症的研究也很突出。虽然健康预防研究最为普遍，但1995年至1999年健康治疗研究的频率相同。大多数研究包括疟疾控制和B型肝炎、B型流感嗜血杆菌、麻疹和水痘的疫苗接种策略。结论.儿科经济评价的数量稳步增加，大多数出版物代表健康预防干预措施。儿科经济数据库评价（PEDE）项目数据库将对从事方法研究和进行系统评价的卫生研究人员有价值。
Background. While standard methods for conducting economic evaluations have evolved, little attention has been paid to the conduct of these studies in special populations such as children. Objectives. To build a database of pediatric economic evaluations and to examine trends in publication characteristics over a 20-year period. Research Design. The database was created through a multisource search strategy, manual review, application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, data extraction, and reliability assessment. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize trends in publication volume, disease category, intervention type, and age group between 1980 and 1999. Results. From an initial cut of 5600 citations identified from 12 journal databases, 787 were included as full pediatric economic evaluations. Volume of publications increased 7-fold between 1980 to 1984 and 1995 to 1999 from 61 to 440 citations per 5-year period. Most studies were performed in children aged 1 to 12 years, and studies in infants displayed an increasing frequency. The most common disease category was infective/parasitic, comprising 24% of studies. Studies of congenital anomalies and complications of pregnancy were also prominent. Although health prevention studies were the most prevalent, health treatment studies demonstrated an equal frequency in 1995 to 1999. Most studies consisted of malaria control and vaccination strategies for hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type B, measles, and varicella. Conclusions. The number of pediatric economic evaluations is steadily increasing with most publications representing health prevention interventions. The Pediatric Economic Database Evaluation (PEDE) Project database will be valuable to health researchers working in methods research and conducting systematic reviews.
