Abstract:
Scoping reviews, a type of knowledge synthesis, follow a systematic approach to map evidence on a topic and identify main concepts, theories, sources, and knowledge gaps. Although more scoping reviews are being done, their methodological and reporting quality need improvement. This document presents the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist and explanation. The checklist was developed by a 24-member expert panel and 2 research leads following published guidance from the EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network. The final checklist contains 20 essential reporting items and 2 optional items. The authors provide a rationale and an example of good reporting for each item. The intent of the PRISMA-ScR is to help readers (including researchers, publishers, commissioners, policymakers, health care providers, guideline developers, and patients or consumers) develop a greater understanding of relevant terminology, core concepts, and key items to report for scoping reviews.
摘要:
范围审查,一种知识综合,遵循系统的方法来绘制主题证据并确定主要概念,理论,来源,和知识差距。尽管正在进行更多的范围审查,他们的方法和报告质量需要改进。本文档提供了PRISMA-ScR(系统评价和Meta分析扩展的首选报告项目)清单和说明。根据EQUATOR(增强卫生研究的质量和透明度)网络的发布指导,该清单由24名成员的专家小组和2名研究负责人制定。最终清单包含20个基本报告项目和2个可选项目。作者为每个项目提供了良好报告的基本原理和示例。PRISMA-ScR的目的是帮助读者(包括研究人员,出版商,专员,政策制定者,卫生保健提供者,指南开发人员,和患者或消费者)对相关术语有了更大的理解,核心概念,和报告范围审查的关键项目。
