One of the most important parameters in the identification process in forensic Medicine and Dentistry is the determination of sex through the skull, based on morphological and metric dimorphism. Photogrammetry is an affordable option that allows the reconstruction of position, orientation, shape, and size, allowing the performance of quantitative and qualitative analyzes to identify the sex of the individual. However, there are few systematic reviews in the literature validating whether photogrammetry is a reliable methodology for sexual identification using human skulls. Therefore, the objective of the current systematic review was to validate whether photogrammetry of dry skulls is reliable as a method for calculating sex in human identification. This revision follows the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and was recorded in the Prospective International Systematic Reviews Registry (PROSPERO) (CRD420223 Systematic Registry) (CRD420223). The inclusion criteria for selecting the studies were based on the PICO question: "Is test photogrammetry reliable as a method for estimating sex in human identification?". A literature search for studies was performed in the databases MEDLINE Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, and the Cochrane Library. The Kappa agreement presented an approval level of (k = 0.93). This systematic review analyzed 11 ex-vivo studies published between 2001 and 2021. The risk of bias was considered low in 8 of the studies, and high in 3 studies. Based on this systematic review, it can be concluded that the photogrammetry method is viable and reliable in identifying sexual dimorphism.
在法医学和牙科领域的鉴定过程中,最重要的参数之一是通过颅骨确定性别,这基于形态和度量的二态性。摄影测量是一种经济实惠的选择,它可以重建位置、方向、形状和大小,从而进行定量和定性分析,以确定个体的性别。然而,文献中很少有系统评价验证摄影测量是否是一种可靠的方法,用于通过人类颅骨识别性别。因此,目前的系统评价旨在验证干燥颅骨的摄影测量是否可靠,作为人类识别中计算性别的方法。本修订版遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA) 指南,并在前瞻性国际系统评价登记处 (PROSPERO) (CORD420223 系统登记处) (CORD420223) 中进行了记录。选择研究的纳入标准基于 PICO 问题:“摄影测量测试作为一种估计人类识别中性别方法是否可靠?”在 MEDLINE Scopus、Web of Science、LILACS 和 Cochrane 图书馆的数据库中进行了研究文献检索。kappa 一致性显示批准水平为 (k=0.93)。本系统评价分析了 2001 年至 2021 年间发表的 11 项离体研究。8 项研究的偏倚风险被认为较低,3 项研究的偏倚风险较高。基于本系统评价,可以得出结论,摄影测量方法在识别性别二态性方面是可行且可靠的。
