3D Printing & Plastic Surgery Scoping Review

Abstract

To identify studies to include or consider for this scoping review, the review team worked with a librarian (SB) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-ScR extension was followed for search reporting. The 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. All final searches were peer-reviewed by another librarian, Rebecca Fülöp, MLIS, PhD, following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist).

The databases included in this search are [list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics), Science Direct (Elsevier), CINAHL (Ebscohost), DOSS Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source (ebscohost) , and Cochrane (Wiley) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included and Trip Pro Medical Database (https://www.tripdatabase.com) and Medrxiv https://www.medrxiv.org. All final searches were performed on September 11, 2024 by the librarian and were fully reported to the research team on September 13, 2024. The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix(___). They are also archived at [DOI].
