Abstract

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising tool for scientific discovery and clinical application. However, its utility depends upon replicable reporting. We evaluate reporting of sociodemographics in fNIRS studies of speech and language impairment and asked the following: (1) Do refereed fNIRS publications report participant sociodemographics? (2) For what reasons are participants excluded from analysis? This systematic review was preregistered with PROSPERO (CRD42022342959) and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol. Searches in August 2022 included the terms: (a) fNIRS or functional near-infrared spectroscopy or NIRS or near-infrared spectroscopy, (b) speech or language, and (c) disorder or impairment or delay. Searches yielded 38 qualifying studies from 1997 to present. Eight studies (5%) reported at least partial information on race or ethnicity. Few studies reported SES (26%) or language background (47%). Most studies reported geographic location (100%) and gender/sex (89%). Underreporting of sociodemographics in fNIRS studies of speech and language impairment hinders the generalizability of findings. Replicable reporting is imperative for advancing the utility of fNIRS.

fNIRS对言语和语言障碍个体的研究低估了社会形态：系统综述。

功能性近红外光谱（fNIRS）是一种很有前途的科学发现和临床应用工具。然而，其效用取决于可复制的报告。我们评估了fNIRS言语和语言损伤研究中的社会人口统计报告，并提出以下问题：（1）参考的fNIRS出版物是否报告了参与者的社会人口统计学？（2）参与者被排除在分析之外的原因是什么？该系统综述已在PROSPERO（CRD42022342959）中预先注册，并遵循系统综述和荟萃分析方案的首选报告项目。2022年8月的搜索包括以下术语：（a）功能性近红外光谱或近红外光谱，（b）言语或语言，以及（c）障碍、损伤或延迟。从1997年至今，检索得到38项符合条件的研究。八项研究（5%）报告了至少部分关于种族或民族的信息。很少有研究报告SES（26%）或语言背景（47%）。大多数研究报告了地理位置（100%）和性别/性别（89%）。fNIRS言语和语言损伤研究中对社会人口统计学的报道不足阻碍了研究结果的可推广性。可复制报告对于提高fNIRS的实用性至关重要。

期刊介绍： Neuropsychology Review is a quarterly, refereed publication devoted to integrative review papers on substantive content areas in neuropsychology, with particular focus on populations with endogenous or acquired conditions affecting brain and function and on translational research providing a mechanistic understanding of clinical problems. Publication of new data is not the purview of the journal. Articles are written by international specialists in the field, discussing such complex issues as distinctive functional features of central nervous system disease and injury; challenges in early diagnosis; the impact of genes and environment on function; risk factors for functional impairment; treatment efficacy of neuropsychological rehabilitation; the role of neuroimaging, neuroelectrophysiology, and other neurometric modalities in explicating function; clinical trial design; neuropsychological function and its substrates characteristic of normal development and aging; and neuropsychological dysfunction and its substrates in neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions. The journal''s broad perspective is supported by an outstanding, multidisciplinary editorial review board guided by the aim to provide students and professionals, clinicians and researchers with scholarly articles that critically and objectively summarize and synthesize the strengths and weaknesses in the literature and propose novel hypotheses, methods of analysis, and links to other fields.
