Abstract

Introduction: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition characterised by the accumulation of blood between the dura mater and the arachnoid membrane. It has a significant prevalence and high mortality. Over the years, the management of cSDH has been extensively studied in high-income countries. On the other hand, Africa, which is faced with a significant neurosurgical care deficit, lacks aggregate data on the management strategies and outcomes on cSDH on this continent. This protocol aims to guide the scoping review of published studies investigating the characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes of cSDH in Africa. Methods and Analysis: The scoping review protocol for the proposed study is in accordance with the Arksey and O Malleys framework. The objectives, eligibility criteria and search strategy were developed based on the Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome framework. A comprehensive search will be conducted in electronic databases, including MEDLine, African Index Medicus, PubMed, Embase, African Journals Online, and Scopus to identify relevant studies. Only peer-reviewed publications with primary data reporting on the management of cSDH in the African human population will be included. Extracted data from included articles will be presented as descriptive statistics, pooled statistics, and a narrative description where deemed necessary. Ethics and dissemination: Given the non-direct involvement of human individuals, ethical approval will not be necessary. Dissemination strategies will include publication in a peer-reviewed journal, oral and poster presentations at conferences and promotion over social media.
非洲慢性硬膜下血肿的管理和疗效:范围界定审查方案
简介慢性硬膜下血肿(cSDH)是一种常见的神经外科疾病,其特点是血液积聚在硬脑膜和蛛网膜之间。该病发病率高,死亡率也很高。多年来,高收入国家对 cSDH 的治疗进行了广泛研究。另一方面,非洲面临着严重的神经外科护理赤字,缺乏有关非洲大陆 cSDH 治疗策略和结果的综合数据。本方案旨在指导对已发表的调查非洲 cSDH 特征、管理策略和结果的研究进行范围界定审查。方法与分析:拟议研究的范围界定审查协议符合 Arksey 和 O Malleys 框架。根据 "人群、干预措施、比较对象、结果 "框架制定了目标、资格标准和检索策略。将在 MEDLine、African Index Medicus、PubMed、Embase、African Journals Online 和 Scopus 等电子数据库中进行全面搜索,以确定相关研究。只有经过同行评审、提供了有关非洲人群中 cSDH 管理的主要数据报告的出版物才会被纳入。从收录文章中提取的数据将以描述性统计、汇总统计以及必要的叙述性描述的形式呈现。伦理与传播:由于不直接涉及人类个体,因此无需获得伦理批准。传播策略将包括在同行评审期刊上发表文章、在会议上进行口头和海报展示以及在社交媒体上进行宣传。
