Abstract

Currently, little is known about how geographic information systems (GIS) has been utilized to study end-of-life care in pediatric populations. The purpose of this review was to collect and examine the existing evidence on how GIS methods have been used in pediatric end-of-life research over the last 20 years. Scoping review method was used to summarize existing evidence and inform research methods and clinical practice was used. The Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA) was utilized. The search resulted in a final set of 17 articles. Most studies created maps for data visualization and used ArcGIS as the primary software for analysis. The scoping review revealed that GIS methodology has been limited to mapping, but that there is a significant opportunity to expand the use of this methodology for pediatric end-of-life care research.

地理信息系统在儿科临终研究中的应用：范围审查。

目前，人们对如何利用地理信息系统（GIS）研究儿科人群的临终关怀知之甚少。本综述旨在收集和研究过去 20 年来 GIS 方法如何用于儿科临终关怀研究的现有证据。采用范围界定综述法总结现有证据，并为研究方法和临床实践提供参考。采用了范围界定综述的系统综述和元分析首选项目（PRISMA）。搜索最终得出了 17 篇文章。大多数研究为数据可视化绘制了地图，并使用 ArcGIS 作为主要分析软件。范围综述显示，GIS 方法仅限于制图，但在儿科临终关怀研究中推广使用该方法的机会很大。
