The objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe the literature on the use of geospatial data in pediatric asthma research.
Asthma is one of the most common pediatric chronic diseases in the United States, disproportionately affecting low-income patients. Asthma exacerbations may be triggered by local environmental factors, such as air pollution or exposure to indoor allergens. Geographic information systems are increasingly recognized as tools that use geospatial data to enhance understanding of the link between environmental exposure, social determinants of health, and clinical outcomes. Geospatial data in pediatric asthma may help inform risk factors for asthma severity, and guide targeted clinical and social interventions.
This review will consider studies that utilize geospatial data in the evaluation of pediatric patients with asthma, ages 2 to 18 years, in the United States. Mixed samples of adults and children will also be considered. Geospatial data will include any external non-clinical geographic-based data source that uses a patient's environment or context.
The following databases will be searched: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, ERIC, Web of Science, and IEEE. Gray literature will be searched in DBLP, the US Environmental Protection Agency, Google Scholar, Google search, and a hand search of recent abstracts from relevant conferences. Articles published in English, Spanish, and French from 2010 to the present will be included. Study screening and selection will be performed independently by 2 reviewers. Data extraction will be performed by a trained research team member following pilot testing.
本范围综述的目的是确定和描述使用地理空间数据进行儿科哮喘研究的文献。
哮喘是美国最常见的儿童慢性疾病之一，低收入患者的发病率不成比例。哮喘恶化可能由局部环境因素引发，如空气污染或室内过敏原暴露。地理信息系统越来越被认为是一种工具，可利用地理空间数据来增强对环境暴露、健康社会决定因素和临床结果之间联系的理解。儿科哮喘中的地理空间数据可能有助于确定哮喘严重程度的危险因素，并指导有针对性的临床和社会干预。
本综述将考虑在美国评估年龄在 2 至 18 岁的儿科哮喘患者时使用地理空间数据的研究。也将考虑混合了成人和儿童的样本。地理空间数据将包括使用患者环境或背景的任何外部非临床地理基础数据源。
将搜索以下数据库：PubMed、Embase、Cochrane 中央、CINAHL、ERIC、Web of Science 和 IEEE。将在 DBLP、美国环境保护署、Google Scholar、Google 搜索以及相关会议的最新摘要的手工搜索中搜索灰色文献。将纳入 2010 年至今发表的英文、西班牙文和法文的文章。研究筛选和选择将由 2 名独立审查员进行。数据提取将由经过培训的研究团队成员在试点测试后进行。
