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) and was translated to Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), Cochrane Central (Wiley) and CINAHL (EbscoHost) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included ClinicalTrials.gov and the TRIP database. The search included no major limits or date restrictions. The final search was completed on March 29, 2021. The full search details are provided.
Description
Search Methods for Identification of Studies:
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) and was translated to Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), Cochrane Central (Wiley) and CINAHL (EbscoHost) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included ClinicalTrials.gov and the TRIP database. The search included no major limits or date restrictions. The final search was completed on March 29, 2021. The full search details are provided.
PubMed (NLM) from inception to 3/29/2021 (5,200 Results)
Embase (Elsevier) from inception to 3/29/2021 (3,090 Results)
Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) from inception to 3/29/2021 (5,678 Results)
Cochrane Central (Wiley) from inception to 3/29/2021 (127 Results)
CINAHL (EbscoHost) from inception to 3/29/2021 (350 Results)
The search resulted in 14,649 studies (204 from grey literature sources). 3,663 duplicate studies were found and omitted using Endnote X.7 for the deduplication of records and 10,986 references were eligible to screen. Studies were screened by title and abstract by two blinded and independent reviewers using Rayyan. If a tiebreaker was needed, a third reviewer was called in. This process was repeated for full text article screening and article selection.
