These symptoms negatively affect patients' quality of life. Oral hygiene care can assist in the management of oral symptoms. This care could be improved with a more systematic approach, adequate guidelines, and training to properly integrate it into the care provided by specialist palliative care teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;This review considered quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies on oral hygiene care for the management of oral symptoms in adult patients with cancer, aged 18 years or older, diagnosed with any type of cancer, receiving specialist palliative care. For the quantitative component, eligible studies measured the effectiveness of oral hygiene care, of any frequency or duration, using any valid method, for the management of oral symptoms. Oral hygiene care interventions were compared with standard care, another experimental care, or there was no comparison. For the qualitative component, eligible studies explored participants' experiences of oral symptoms and the provision of oral hygiene care. Specialist palliative care was provided in several settings, including palliative care units, inpatient hospice, home palliative care teams, or day care centers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The search was conducted in PubMed (NLM), CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source (EBSCOhost), and MedicLatina (EBSCOhost). Sources of unpublished studies and gray literature searched included Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Studies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish from 2000 to October 2023 were considered. Methodological quality was assessed and data were extracted by 2 reviewers. Synthesis and integration followed the JBI convergent segregated approach for mixed methods reviews. Meta-analysis of quantitative studies was not possible and findings were reported narratively. Meta-aggregation was used to pool findings of qualitative studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Six studies (2 randomized controlled trials, 2 quasi-experimental studies, and 2 qualitative studies) were included, involving 451 participants.

Pressure ulcers increase the mortality rate, impair quality of life, prolong the length of hospital stay, increase the cost of treatments, and alter general health outcomes. Published studies found higher costs in pressure ulcer treatment when compared to their prevention. Treatment costs vary depending on the pressure ulcer category (the higher the category, the higher the costs). This umbrella review systematically reviewed the evidence on pressure ulcer prevention or treatment from an economic perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inclusion criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;Eligible systematic reviews investigating both the cost and outcomes associated with the prevention or treatment of pressure ulcers were included. Systematic reviews dealing with economic evaluation of wound care or management were excluded if they did not provide separate analyses for pressure ulcers. All health economic outcomes were considered as primary outcomes of the review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We searched Epistemonikos, MEDLINE (Ovid), NHS Economic Evaluation Database, and the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) website for relevant health economic systematic reviews from database inception, without any language restrictions. Titles and abstracts as well as full texts were screening independently by 2 reviewers. We assessed the methodological quality independently using the standard JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;We identified 14 systematic reviews, 7 with a priori published protocols. Nine were of high methodological quality and 5 were of moderate methodological quality. None of the systematic reviews focused primarily on the pressure ulcers' cost-effectiveness; however, all the included systematic reviews assessed cost-effectiveness, either prevention, treatment, or both, with different preventive approaches and interventions. The most cost-effective prevention strategies reported multifaceted interventions, including repositioning regimens, pressure redistribution mattresses or overlays, and oral nutritional supplements. The most cost-effective treatment strategies reported for pressure ulcers were foam and collagenase dressing over saline-soaked gauze and enteral nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;This umbrella review identified nutrition support, foam and collagenase dressing, and pressure redistribution mattresses or overlays to be most cost-effective in preventing or treating pressure ulcers in a few of the included systematic reviews, while other systematic reviews lacked sufficient data on economic outcomes to make a determination.

Measures to limit search and screening efforts can help to increase the efficiency of preparing systematic reviews. Search filters are useful tools for reviewers to identify reports with common characteristics in bibliographic databases. Geographic search filters limit literature search results to a specific geographic characteristic (eg, a country or region). Searching the literature using geographic filters can be useful in finding evidence about health care practices in distinct geographic regions; providing an overview of cultural, epidemiological, or health economics aspects; or indicating inequalities in health care in a certain region. Our aim was to identify validated geographic search filters and report on their development and performance measures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;We included reports on validated geographic search filters aiming to identify research from or about defined geographic features (eg, countries/regions or groups of them).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This review was conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews, as specified in an a priori protocol. We searched PubMed, Embase, the InterTASC Information Specialists' Sub-Group (ISSG) Search Filter resource, and Google Scholar. There were no date or language limitations on the searches. The study selection process was independently conducted by 2 reviewers, encompassing both abstract and full-text screening. The data extraction included basic characteristics of the geographic search filter (eg, country/region, database), methods used to develop and validate the search filters, and their performance measures. The extracted data were tabulated and summarized narratively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Our literature search yielded 907 hits. We included 9 reports that addressed 6 search filters for a broad range of geographic regions, including Spain, Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, OECD countries as a group, as well as publications in high-ranking nursing journals from countries where German is spoken. The methods used for developing geographic search filters were heterogeneous. Gold standard sets were created by database searching (n = 3; 50%) and relative recall (n = 3; 50%). Only 3 filters were created using objective methods and 2 underwent internal validation. The sensitivity of the search filters ranged from 73% to nearly 100%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The findings show that validated geographic search filters are not widely available. The identified search filters may serve as methodological outlines for the development of search filters for other countries or geographic regions.
