ObjectiveTo analyze the status of systematic reviews/meta-analyses on tuberculosis. MethodsThe Web of Science was searched for systematic reviews/meta-analyses on tuberculosis up to February 4th, 2015. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers screened literature and extracted data. Then SPSS 11.0 software was used to analysis data including publication year, country, institution, journal and citation situation. ResultsA total of 461 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included. The publication numbers was increasing from 1 in 1997 to 82 in 2014. Among them, China ranked the top country (113 studies), followed by the USA and Canada. The area with the most number of countries where studies were published was Europe, followed by Asia and Africa. In terms of institution, McGill University in Canada ranked the top, followed by University of London in England and Sichuan University in China. As for the number of papers in journals, the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease ranked the top, followed by PLOS One and European Respiratory Journal. In the terms of citation, the citation ranged from 0 to 591, and the median citation frequency was 8. ConclusionThe systematic reviews/meta-analyses on tuberculosis is gradually increasing; the developed countries are still important output areas; and China is playing more and more important role in this research field.
ObjectivesTo survey the domestic research situation of evidence-based education through visual studies. To summarize the utilization of education evidence in China and promote the process of evidence-based practice concepts and methods application in social science fields, so as to facilitate the domestic evidence-based research towards more scientific and practical. Methods WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched to collect evidence-based education literatures from inception to December, 2017. Tableau and UCINET software were used to conduct visual and co-word analysis of study types, regions, staff, time, foundation/government support and key words. The social evidence based research situation was sketched. Results A total of 54 literatures were included. Beijing and Guangdong province published the most literatures, followed by Zhejiang province and Tianjin municipality. The quantity of literatures published in 2014 reached the peak of 11 articles, followed by 2016 and 2017, and relatively few in remaining years. We found that " evidence-based pedagogy” owned the highest frequency through building core keywords matrix. Conclusions Evidence-based education in China is still at an early stage. Introduction and promotion is currently the main content. There exists problems remaining in the development of evidence-based education, for instance disjointedness of theory and practice, regional unbalance, and deficiency of original-research. It is still a long way to go.
ObjectivesTo investigate and analyze the status of pediatric internal medicine clinical practice guidelines published in journals of mainland China from 2010 to 2017.MethodsCBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect pediatric internal medicine clinical practice guidelines published in Chinese journals of mainland China from January 2010 to December 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data. The author's information was organized and co-word matrixes were produced using BICOMS 2 software. The visualization diagram was plotted using Ucinet 6.0 software to analysze the societal relationship of authors.ResultsA total of 135 pediatric clinical guidelines were included, involving 109 western medical guidelines, 24 Chinese traditional medicine guidelines and 2 guidelines on integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. The main types of clinical practice guidelines for children were diagnosis and treatment (45.19%), followed by technical guidelines (15.56%). Most of the guidelines were on respiratory diseases (23.70%). 54.81% of the guidelines for children were formulated by seminars and consensus, and 28.89% of the guidelines mentioned the application of evidence-based methods to develop guidelines. The institutes (40.00%) were participated in the development of the guidelines, in which 11 research groups were participated in the development of the guidelines.ConclusionsThe quantity of pediatric internal medicine clinical practice guidelines in mainland China has increased from 2010 to 2017. The scope of the guidelines is limited, and cooperation is required to further improve the quality of children’s guidelines.
ObjectivesTo conduct a bibliometric analysis to research the status of disease burden domestically and overseas so as to understand the status of diseases burden, and to provide scientific and reasonable reference for health disease prevention, control strategies formulation and future research.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, CBM and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect literature on disease burden from inception to October, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data. EndNote X7 software was used for literature management, Excel 2016 software and VOS viewer software were also used to analyze data. Literature was classified by the aspects of literature publication characteristics, diseases, background areas, influencing factors, evaluation indicators and poverty caused by illness.ResultsA total of 325 studies were included in the bibliometric analysis. 41 articles (12.6%) were published in journals indexed by SCIE; original research evidence accounted for 97.0% (315 articles); 272 articles were from China (83.7%). The main diseases involved were malignant tumors (58 articles, 17.8%), diabetes (29 articles, 8.9%) and hypertension (24 articles, 7.4%). Factors affecting the disease burden primarily included hospitalization days (9 articles, 2.8%), complications (5 articles, 1.5%), delays in treatment (5 articles, 1.5%), and economic income (4 articles, 1.2%). Sixity-one articles (18.8%) reported poverty due to illness, and related diseases were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (12 articles, 3.7%), hypertension (10 articles, 3.1%), diabetes (10 articles, 3.1%), malignant tumors (9 articles, 2.8%) and hepatitis B (6 articles, 1.8%).ConclusionsAt present, the disease burden research are focusing more on the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases such as malignant tumors, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in developing countries and regions. Medical costs vary from different diseases and treatment, different demographic characteristics of patients, and the coverage medical security of different population are the primary reasons for the " expensive in medical treatment” of current residents and the heavy burden of disease. DALY and total direct medical expenses are the main evaluation indexes of epidemiological burden and economic burden of disease, respectively. Future researches should focus on strengthening the scientific nature of study design to improve the quality of research, as well as paying more attention to diseases and aspects that are rarely involved, such as major diseases caused by poverty due to illness, comprehensive analysis of multiple diseases and aspects of health investment measurement, and comprehensively use the evaluation indicators of disease burden to strengthen the research on the comparability index of disease economic burden.
ObjectiveTo analyze the current situation of adaptation guidelines. MethodsCBM, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, EMbase, GIN, SIGN, NICE and AHRQ databases were electronically searched to collect studies related to adaptation guidelines from inception to August 31th, 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Descriptive analysis was then conducted on the general situation of the adaptation guidelines. ResultsA total of 83 studies were included, involving 63 full-text studies, 16 methodological studies and 4 secondary studies. The quantity of published articles of the adapted guidelines had an overall upward trend, and 48.39% of the adapted guidelines were published in UK-hosted journals. 51.81% of the adapted guidelines reported receiving funding or project funding during the development process, and 67.46% reported information of conflict of interests. Among the 33 adaptation guidelines published in the past five years, 33.34% reported their methodology used ADAPTE, 6.1% reported their methodology used GRADE-Adolopment, and 60.56% did not report the adaptation method. ConclusionsAt present, the international research on the adapted guideline is extensive, however, it is still in its infancy in China. The adaptation guideline is also required to be based on a theoretical framework, standardize the development of methodology, and ensure the quality of the adaptation guideline.
