SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTER
JBI has developed a collection of world-class resources driven by the needs of health professionals and consumers worldwide.
Registration of Systematic Review Titles
Please note: this register is for the use of JBI affiliated entities ONLY. Registration of a systematic review title on the JBI website is to promote collaboration between affiliated entities via highlighting current work to other JBI review authors and to recognise that the registered topic is currently in development to avoid any unintended and/or unnecessary duplication of research effort.
Registered systematic reviews that are currently underway are listed below. Protocols for these reviews may already be published or in preparation for publication within six months of initial registration. To avoid duplication, titles in this list should not be replicated by other review authors. Please contact the listed Primary Reviewer or the JBI Synthesis Science Unit if you would like further information about any of these registered reviews.
Registration of titles on this web page does not in any way constitute acceptance of the topic by JBI Evidence Synthesis.

All races, ages over 18, and geographic locations will be included. Pregnant women when they cannot be separated from the general study population will be excluded. Index Test: The tests that will be assessed are any SARS-CoV-2 antigen test that can be done within 1 hour of sample collection.

Clinical/cost-effectiveness of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in acute respiratory failure from different causes versus invasive ventilation/standard care: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol | Dr. Kavita Kachroo | Kalam Institute of Health Technology: A JBI Affiliated Group | 2020-06-03 |

Dr. Kavita Kachroo
Inclusion criteria: this review will consider studies that include participants who are suffering from acute respiratory failure from different causes. Exclusion criteria: severely depressed level of consciousness/confusion/non-cooperative; respiratory rate <12/min; severe hypoxia, such as requiring more than 15L O2/min; large amounts of sputum; vomiting and high risk for aspiration; inability to accept NIV; recent abdominal, facial or upper airway surgery; malignancy or life expectancy <6 months because of disease other than COPD; known obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA); metabolic acidotic component - StHCO3- < 20 mM Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) - ventilation is a paradigm shift from the physiology of breathing spontaneously. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation is a type of mechanical ventilation. It consists of a positive-pressure ventilator connected by tubing to a mask that applies positive air pressure to the nose, mouth, or both. It assists ventilation by delivering pressurized gas to the airways, increasing transpulmonary pressure, and inflating the lungs. Exhalation then occurs by means of elastic recoil of the lungs and any active force exerted by the expiratory muscles. The major difference between invasive and non-invasive ventilation is that with the, gas is delivered to the airway via a mask and not via invasive system. |

Stage 4 breast cancer women over the age of 18 years. Primary outcome is the impact of health literacy on Stage 4 breast cancer women decision-making, in end of life care. The context is within any setting where Stage 4 breast cancer women access or receive healthcare interventions; including hospital, outpatients, community, and palliative care. |

The experiences of parents of children with special needs educated in an inclusive environment: a qualitative systematic review | Jiří Kantor | Palacky University Evidence-Based Education: Mentee Centre | 2020-05-25 |
Palacky University Evidence-Based Education: Mentee Centre
Jiří Kantor
Any parents of children with special needs. We will consider studies with parents of any age from high/middle income countries with child/children with special needs who have experienced inclusive education. The concept of special needs is understood in a very broad sense based on legislative systems of particular countries and includes various special educational conditions caused by disability, health problems, disorders, sociocultural factors, etc. We will explore school-related lived experiences of parents that have children with special needs educated in inclusive environment. We are interested in their own perspective rooted in their lived experiences, not a perspective of other participants of inclusive education, eg. schoolmates and their parents, or teachers. By inclusive education is meant both full and partial inclusion. We won´t consider studies on parents with their children educated only in special schools or self-contained classrooms in mainstream schools. |

Matilde Silva Carvalho
This review will consider studies where the participants are parents of children and young people up to the age of 18, with a diagnosis of a congenital heart disease. It is understood as a congenital heart disease the result of an abnormal development of the heart, or blood vessels near the heart, during pregnancy, which include, but are not limited to, conditions as common arterial truncus, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect, aortic atresia/interrupted aortic arch, coarctation of aorta, double outlet right ventricle, transposition of great vessels, tetralogy of fallot, ebstein's anomaly, valvular stenosis or atresia, hypoplastic left heart and hypoplastic right heart. It is understood as parents the set of individuals who have the responsibility to provide primary care to the child/ young person. This review will include studies that explore parents’ hopeful experiences and expectations when caring for children with a congenital heart disease. Hope is a highly personalized, central to life, dynamic and multidimensional experience. Hope is characterized by a confident yet uncertain expectation of achieving (expectations) a something good in the future which, to the hoping person, is realistically possible and personally significant. Hope is also a forward-looking concept, which confers empowerment, is related to external help, to care and to the concept of faith. |
