Abstract: The overall conclusions of included studies are consistent: complications represent an important economic burden for health care providers. We conclude that more accurate and consistent data collection is required to serve as input for good-quality economic analyses, which in turn can inform hospital decisions on cost-efficient allocation of their limited resources.
