摘要

目的评价尺侧副韧带（UCL）重建相关研究中社会人口学变量的报告。方法根据系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行系统评价。在2024年4月9日检索PubMed、Embase和Scopus，检索词为“内侧尺侧副韧带重建”、“尺侧副韧带重建”、“尺侧副韧带手术”或“汤米·约翰手术”。纳入随机对照试验、病例对照研究、横断面研究、队列研究和英文病例系列研究。收集社会人口变量的存在，包括性别或性别和年龄，以及社会人口变量的存在，包括种族、民族、保险状况、收入、住房状况、工作状况和教育水平。采用描述性统计、χ2检验或Fisher精确检验进行分析。最初的数据库检索产生了1504项研究，在标题和摘要筛选后，删除了831项重复研究，另外排除了598项研究。在剩下的75项研究中，31项在全文筛选后被排除，剩下44项研究被纳入，这些研究均发表于2006年至2024年之间。其中，社会人口学变量（如种族：0/44，民族：0/44，保险状况：0/44，教育水平：10/44，收入：0/44，工作状况：12/44）的报告频率明显低于人口统计学因素，如年龄（42/44;95.5%）和性别或性别（24/44;54.5%;P < 0.05）。在纳入的期刊（P = 0.83）或出版年份（P = 0.67）中，任何社会人口学变量的报告没有显著差异。本系统综述强调了在检查UCL重建的研究中严重缺乏对社会人口变量的报告，与种族和民族等社会人口变量相比，年龄、性别或性别等人口因素的报告率要高得多。证据水平：IV级，II-IV级研究的系统评价。

Sociodemographic Variables Are Rarely Reported in Studies Investigating Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review

Purpose

To evaluate the reporting of sociodemographic variables in studies related to ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction.

Methods

A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched on April 9, 2024, using the terms “medial ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction,” “ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction,” “ulnar collateral ligament surgery,” or “Tommy John Surgery.” Studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials, case control studies, cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, and case series in English. The presence of sociodemographic variables, including sex or gender and age, as well as the presence of sociodemographic variables, including race, ethnicity, insurance status, income, housing status, work status, and level of education were collected. Descriptive statistics and χ² tests or Fisher exact tests were used for analysis.

Results

The initial database search yielded 1,504 studies, with 831 duplicates removed and an additional 598 studies excluded after title and abstract screening. Of the remaining 75 studies, 31 were excluded after full-text screening, leaving 44 studies for inclusion, all published between 2006 and 2024. Among these, sociodemographic variables (e.g., race: 0/44, ethnicity: 0/44, insurance status: 0/44, level of education: 10/44, income: 0/44, work status: 12/44) were reported significantly less frequently than demographic factors such as age (42/44; 95.5%), and sex or gender (24/44; 54.5%; P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in reporting of any sociodemographic variables among included journals (P = .83) or by year of publication (P = .67).

Conclusions

This systematic review highlights a critical lack in the reporting of sociodemographic variables within studies examining UCL reconstruction, with a significantly greater rate of reporting of demographic factors, such as age and sex or gender, compared with sociodemographic variables like race and ethnicity.
