The increasing amount of evidence has caused an increasing amount of literature reviews. There are different types of reviews systematic reviews are the best known, and every type of review has different purposes. The scoping review is a recent model that aims to answer broad questions and identify and expose the available evidence for a broader question, using a rigorous and reproducible method. In the last two decades, researchers have discussed the most appropriate method to carry out scoping reviews, and recently the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting guideline was published. This is the fifth article of a methodological collaborative series of narrative reviews about general topics on biostatistics and clinical epidemiology. This review aims to describe what scoping reviews are, identify their objectives, differentiate them from other types of reviews, and provide considerations on how to carry them out.
越来越多的证据导致了越来越多的文献综述。有不同类型的综述，系统综述是最知名的，每种类型的综述都有不同的目的。范围综述是一种最近的模式，旨在使用严格和可重复的方法回答广泛的问题，并确定和揭示更广泛问题的可用证据。在过去的二十年中，研究人员一直在讨论进行范围综述最合适的方法，最近发布了系统评价和荟萃分析范围综述的首选报告项目（PRISMA-ScR）报告准则。这是关于生物统计学和临床流行病学一般主题的方法协作系列叙述性评论的第五篇文章。本篇综述旨在描述范围综述是什么，确定它们的目的，将它们与其他类型的综述区分开来，并提供关于如何进行范围综述的考虑因素。
