Speech sound disorder (SSD) describes a 'persistent difficulty with speech sound production that interferes with speech intelligibility or prevents verbal communication'. There is a need to establish which care pathways are most effective and efficient for children with SSD. Comparison of care pathways requires clearly defined, evidence-based interventions and agreement on how to measure the outcomes. At present, no list of assessments, interventions or outcomes exists.The objective of this paper is to provide a rigorous and detailed protocol for an umbrella review of assessments, interventions and outcomes that target SSD in children. The protocol details the development of a search strategy and trial of an extraction tool.
The umbrella review has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022316284). Papers included can use a review methodology of any sort but must include children of any age, with an SSD of unknown origin. In accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methods guidelines, an initial search of the Ovid Emcare and Ovid Medline databases was conducted. Following this, a final search strategy for these databases were produced. A draft extraction form was developed.
Ethical approval is not needed for an umbrella review protocol. Following the systematic development of an initial search strategy and extraction form, an umbrella review of this topic can take place. Dissemination of findings will be through peer-reviewed publications, social media, and patient and public engagement.
言语障碍 (SSD) 是指“持续性言语声音产生困难，从而影响言语可理解性或妨碍言语交流”。需要确定哪些护理途径对言语障碍儿童最有效和最具效率。比较护理途径需要明确界定、基于证据的干预措施，并就如何衡量结果达成一致。目前，尚无评估、干预和结果的清单。本文的目的是为针对儿童言语障碍的评估、干预和结果的伞式综述提供严格和详细的方案。该方案详细说明了搜索策略的制定和提取工具的试验。
伞式综述已在 PROSPERO（CRD42022316284）上注册。纳入的论文可以使用任何类型的综述方法，但必须包括任何年龄的患有未知病因的言语障碍的儿童。根据乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的范围综述方法指南，对 Ovid Emcare 和 Ovid Medline 数据库进行了初步搜索。在此之后，为这些数据库制作了最终的搜索策略。制定了一份草案提取表。
伞式综述方案不需要伦理批准。在系统地制定初步搜索策略和提取表之后，可以进行该主题的伞式综述。研究结果将通过同行评审的出版物、社交媒体以及患者和公众参与进行传播。
