What is known about checklists for interpreting chest radiographs? The question will guide the development of the inclusion criteria for the scoping review. Breaking down the scoping review question will allow the evaluation of inclusion and exclusion criteria for the protocol. The eligibility of the proposed research question will be assessed using the Population or Participants, Concept and Context (PCC) framework.
X-ray reporting can be standardised using checklists. Checklists may reduce the time needed to produce a comprehensive X-ray report and improve the quality and consistency of detecting abnormalities on chest radiographs. This scoping review aims to map the available literature on what is known about checklists for interpreting chest radiographs.
We will follow the methodological framework for scoping reviews originally described by Arksey and O'Malley. The scoping review will include articles that describe checklists for reducing diagnostic errors, checklists for analysing chest radiographs, checklists for identifying abnormalities on chest radiographs and checklists for reporting chest radiographs in all settings. Search terms are chest radiographs, checklists, and chest X-rays. We will search for peer-reviewed articles and grey literature including dissertations and theses. We will search online databases including Ovid Medline and Ebscohost, to identify articles published in English from 1994 to 2022. The searched articles will undergo two levels of screening, first the title and abstract screening, then a full-text screening by two reviewers. Data from the selected articles will be extracted, using a tested extraction form and charted using the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.
The results will be collated, summarised and discussed including any limitations of the included articles. The articles will be summarised in a table, as well as narratively. The distribution of studies will be summarised quantitatively and the numerical analysis will provide an overview and identify knowledge gaps. Content analysis will map different checklists available for chest interpretation.
The results of the scoping review will be used to develop a checklist that will be used by medical doctors in collaboration with radiographers working in settings where there are no radiologists on-site, for interpreting chest radiographs.

我们对用于解读胸片的检查表了解多少?这个问题将指导该范围综述的纳入标准的制定。将综述问题细分将有助于评估协议的纳入和排除标准。使用人群或参与者、概念和背景(PCC)框架评估拟议研究问题的资格。
使用检查表可以使 X 射线报告标准化。检查表可以减少生成全面 X 射线报告所需的时间,并提高在胸片上检测异常的质量和一致性。本范围综述旨在绘制有关用于解读胸片的检查表的现有文献。
我们将遵循最初由 Arksey 和 O'Malley 描述的范围综述方法框架。该综述将包括描述用于减少诊断错误的检查表、用于分析胸片的检查表、用于识别胸片异常的检查表以及用于报告各种情况下的胸片的检查表的文章。搜索词为胸片、检查表和胸部 X 光片。我们将搜索同行评议文章和灰色文献,包括论文和论文。我们将在在线数据库中搜索,包括 Ovid Medline 和 Ebscohost,以识别 1994 年至 2022 年期间以英文发表的文章。对搜索到的文章进行两级筛选,首先是标题和摘要筛选,然后由两名审查员进行全文筛选。使用经过测试的提取表格从选定文章中提取数据,并使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所指南进行图表绘制。
将对结果进行整理、总结和讨论,包括对纳入文章的任何限制。文章将以表格形式以及叙述形式进行总结。研究的分布将进行定量总结,数值分析将提供概述并确定知识空白。内容分析将绘制出不同的用于胸部解读的检查表。
范围综述的结果将用于开发一个检查表,该检查表将由医生与在没有现场放射科医生的情况下工作的放射技师合作使用,用于解读胸片。
