This protocol describes a systematic scoping review of chronic respiratory disease surveys in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) undertaken as part of the Four Country ChrOnic Respiratory Disease (4CCORD) study within the National Institute for Health Research Global Health Research Unit on Respiratory Health (RESPIRE). Understanding the prevalence and burden of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) underpins healthcare planning. We will systematically scope the literature to identify existing strategies (definitions/questionnaires/diagnostics/outcomes) used in surveys of CRDs in adults in low-resource settings. We will search MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI WoS, Global Health and WHO Global Health Library [search terms: prevalence AND CRD (COPD, asthma) AND LMICs, from 1995], and two reviewers will independently extract data from selected studies onto a piloted customised data extraction form. We will convene a workshop of the multidisciplinary 4CCORD research team with representatives from the RESPIRE partners (Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Pakistan and Edinburgh) at which the findings of the scoping review will be presented, discussed and interpreted. The findings will inform a future RESPIRE 4CCORD study, which will estimate CRD burden in adults in Asian LMICs.
本方案描述了一项系统范围的审查,旨在调查低/中等收入国家(LMIC)的慢性呼吸道疾病,这是国家卫生研究所全球呼吸健康研究单位(RESPIRE)内的 4 国慢性呼吸道疾病(4CCORD)研究的一部分。了解慢性呼吸道疾病(CRD)的流行率和负担是医疗保健规划的基础。我们将系统地审查文献,以确定在资源匮乏环境中对成人 CRD 进行调查所使用的现有策略(定义/问卷/诊断/结果)。我们将在 MEDLINE、EMBASE、ISI WoS、全球健康和世界卫生组织全球卫生图书馆中进行搜索[搜索词:患病率和 CRD(COPD、哮喘)和 LMIC,从 1995 年开始],并由两名审查员独立将选定研究中的数据提取到经过试验的定制数据提取表上。我们将召集多学科 4CCORD 研究团队的一次研讨会,邀请 RESPIRE 合作伙伴(孟加拉国、印度、马来西亚、巴基斯坦和爱丁堡)的代表参加,届时将介绍、讨论和解释范围审查的结果。这些发现将为未来的 RESPIRE 4CCORD 研究提供信息,该研究将估计亚洲 LMIC 成人的 CRD 负担。
