Scoping reviews, a type of knowledge synthesis, follow a systematic approach to map evidence on a topic and identify main concepts, theories, sources, and knowledge gaps. Although more scoping reviews are being done, their methodological and reporting quality need improvement. This document presents the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist and explanation. The checklist was developed by a 24-member expert panel and 2 research leads following published guidance from the EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network. The final checklist contains 20 essential reporting items and 2 optional items. The authors provide a rationale and an example of good reporting for each item. The intent of the PRISMA-ScR is to help readers (including researchers, publishers, commissioners, policymakers, health care providers, guideline developers, and patients or consumers) develop a greater understanding of relevant terminology, core concepts, and key items to report for scoping reviews.
范围综述是一种知识综合方法，它采用系统的方法来绘制主题证据，并确定主要概念、理论、来源和知识空白。尽管越来越多的范围综述正在进行，但它们的方法学和报告质量需要改进。本文介绍了 PRISMA-ScR（用于范围综述的系统评价和 Meta 分析扩展的首选报告项目）清单和说明。该清单由 24 名专家组成的小组和 2 名研究负责人根据 EQUATOR（提高卫生研究的质量和透明度）网络发布的指导方针制定。最终清单包含 20 个必备报告项目和 2 个可选项目。作者为每个项目提供了合理的理由和良好报告的示例。PRISMA-ScR 的目的是帮助读者（包括研究人员、出版商、委托方、政策制定者、医疗保健提供者、指南制定者以及患者或消费者）更好地理解相关术语、核心概念和关键项目，以进行范围综述。
