A systematic search strategy was developed with a licensed librarian and attending plastic surgeon to query all articles using crowdsourcing in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Covidence systematic review manager was used by two independent reviewers to import articles, screen abstracts, evaluate full texts, and extract data.
A search run on October 8, 2021, yielded 168 studies, of which 45 were ultimately included. Craniofacial surgery and aesthetic surgery collectively constituted over half of studies. Participants in plastic surgery crowdsourcing studies are more commonly from the United States, female, straight, 25 to 35 years old; have completed college; and earn $20,000 to $50,000 per year. Studies typically assessed aesthetic perceptions, cost approximately $350, ran a median of 9 days, included approximately 60 unique survey items, and included approximately 40 unique human images.
Crowdsourcing is a relatively new, low-cost method of garnering high-volume data from laypersons that may further our understanding of public perception in plastic and reconstructive surgery. As with other nascent fields, there is significant variability in number of subjects used, subject compensation, and methodology, indicating an opportunity for quality improvement.
方法:与有执照的图书馆员和主治整形外科医生一起开发了一种系统的搜索策略,以在整形和重建手术中使用众包查询所有手稿。Covidence系统评审经理被两名独立评审员用来导入文章,屏幕摘要,评估全文,并提取数据。
结果:2021年10月8日进行的搜索产生了168项研究,最终包括45个。颅面手术和美容手术总共占研究的一半以上。整形外科众包研究的参与者通常来自美国,女性,直,25到35岁,完成了大学学业,每年赚20,000-50,000美元。研究通常评估审美观念,成本约350美元,运行9天的中位数,包括大约60个独特的调查项目,并包括大约40个独特的人类图像。
结论:众包是一种相对较新的,从外行人那里获得大量数据的低成本方法,这可能会进一步加深我们对整形和重建手术公众看法的理解。和其他新兴领域一样,使用的受试者数量存在显著差异,主体补偿,和方法论,表明质量改进的机会。
