与法医验尸或尸检有关的数据仍主要以硬拷贝格式捕获并存档。这种基于论文的实践会影响从业者报告发病率的能力,患病率,以及与法医太平间常见病例相关的统计趋势。尸检可用于告知和提供循证知识,以进一步研究重要问题,包括社会发展,并协助为实施和监测公共卫生举措提供统计数据和数据。目前,在法医学和病理学研究的发展在很大程度上受到低效的数据捕获系统的阻碍,该系统仅允许访问基本信息,而相关信息在很大程度上是手动记录的,因此很难获得。因此,需要提高法医病理学中数据捕获系统的效率,这项审查旨在为适当的数据采集实践的选择和决定提供信息,并正在进行以确定国内和国际上现有的数据挖掘和存储系统。
本次范围审查的方法将以范围审查的方法框架为指导。搜索策略是由作者制定的,我们将从2008年1月1日起对电子数据库进行搜索(科克伦图书馆,Scopus,WebofScience,和ScienceDirect),并使用关键字和医学主题词(MeSH)通过WorldCat和PubMed搜索引文和文献。电子搜索将通过手工搜索期刊和网站上包含的研究和参考文献的参考文献来补充。所有文章将由两名审稿人(主要和次要作者)进行资格评估,并上传到EndNoteExcel电子表格中,和重复的将被识别和删除。两名审稿人(主要作者和次要作者)将根据纳入标准筛选合格的摘要和文章,和选择将在50%的最低百分比协议。选择过程将按照PRISMA流程图进行记录。一旦对数据进行了描述和表征,则将以带有描述性分析和文本分析的叙述性回顾的形式对提取的数据进行分析和报告。
本次审查的结果将确定和描述数据捕获,管理,和用于法医学的储存方法。它还将审查不同数据系统的效率,并在可能的情况下报告数据系统在法医学和病理学领域的使用情况。
尽管本次范围审查不需要研究伦理批准,因为该研究不包括人类或动物参与者,该研究已提交夸祖鲁纳塔尔大学生物医学研究伦理委员会批准,并获得临时批准.数据将仅来自已发表的文献和灰色文献。结果将在相关的国家和国际会议上发表,并在同行评审的期刊上发表。包括排除研究在内的所有搜索结果都将被添加到文章的附录中,供公众阅读,以确保透明度和可重复性。
Data related to forensic postmortems or autopsies are still mainly captured in hard copy format and archived. This paper-based practice impacts on the practitioner\'s ability to report on incidence, prevalence, and statistical trends related to cases that are commonly seen in mortuaries in forensic medicine. An autopsy can be used to inform and provide evidence-based knowledge for further research about important issues, including social development and assist in providing statistics and data for public health initiatives for implementation and monitoring. Currently, in forensic medicine and pathology research developments are largely hampered by the inefficient data capturing system which only allows access to basic information while pertinent information is largely recorded manually and is therefore difficult to obtain. There is thus a need to improve the efficiency of the data capturing system in forensic pathology, and this
review is intended to inform the choice and decisions of appropriate data capture practices and is being conducted to identify nationally and internationally the current data mining and storage systems in place.
The methodology for this scoping
review will be guided by the methodological framework for scoping
review. The search strategy was developed by the authors, and we will conduct a search from 1 January 2008 of electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct) and search through WorldCat and PubMed for citations and literature using both keywords and the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).The electronic search will be supplemented by hand searching references of the included studies and references in journals and websites. All articles will be assessed for eligibility by two reviewers (the primary and secondary authors) and uploaded into EndNote Excel spreadsheet, and duplicates will be identified and removed. The two reviewers (primary and secondary authors) will screen the eligible abstracts and articles against the inclusion criteria, and selection will be on a minimum percentage agreement of 50%. The selection process will be documented by following and using a PRISMA flow diagram. The extracted data will be analyzed and reported in the form of a narrative review with descriptive analysis and text analysis once the data is summarized for description and characterization.
The results of this review will identify and describe data capturing, management, and storage practices for use in forensic medicine. It will also
review the efficiency of the different data systems and report where possible on the uses of the data system within the forensic medicine and pathology field.
Although research ethics approval is not required for this scoping
review because the study will not include human or animal participants, the study was submitted for approval to the University of Kwazulu Natal Biomedical Research Ethics Committee and obtained provisional approval. Data will be sourced only from published literature and gray literature. The results will be presented at relevant national and international conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal. All search results including excluded studies will be added into an addendum in the article and made available for public perusal to therefore ensure transparency and reproducibility.
