Abstract
To identify studies to include or consider for this systematic review, the review team worked with a medical librarian to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The search was developed for PubMed (NLM) translated into Embase (Elsevier), and Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) ,using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) website. The search was not limited. The final search was completed on September 11, 2023. The full search details are provided in Appendix(___).
Description
To identify studies to include or consider for this systematic review, the review team worked with a medical librarian (SB) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-S extension was followed for search reporting. The medical librarian (SB) developed the search for PubMed (NLM) and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed (NLM) search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy, and all final searches were peer-reviewed by another medical librarian (AS) following the PRESS checklist. The databases included in this search are PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), and Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/). All final searches were performed on September 11, 2023, by the librarian and were fully reported (SB). The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix (___). PubMed (NLM) from inception to 9/11/2023 (266 Results) Embase (Elsevier) from inception to 9/11/2023 (338 Results) Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) from inception to 9/11/2023 (50 Results) Google Scholar from inception to 9/11/2023 (492 Results) The search resulted in 1146 studies and 260 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian (SB) using the EndNote 20 duplicate identification strategy. This resulted in 886 records to screen from databases or registers. Studies were screened by title and abstract by two blinded and independent reviewers. If a tiebreaker was needed, a third reviewer was called in. This process was repeated for full text article screening and article selection.
