A transdisciplinary team approach to scoping reviews: the case of pediatric polypharmacy

Abstract: BackgroundPolypharmacy can be either beneficial or harmful to children. We conducted a scoping review to examine the concept of pediatric polypharmacy: its definition, prevalence, extent and gaps in research. In this manuscript, we report our transdisciplinary scoping review methodology.MethodsAfter establishing a transdisciplinary team, we iteratively developed standard operating procedures for the study’s search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria, screening, and data extraction. We searched eight bibliog… Show more

“…We found that children had higher prevalence of all‐drug polypharmacy than adolescents, but upon stratification on medication category, our findings were consistent with those of researchers who have demonstrated higher prevalence of psychotropic polypharmacy among adolescents groups . The overall median average number of medications also supports this as children under 12 years had a higher median of the mean number of medications than adolescents.…”

“…A scoping review is a type of knowledge synthesis that addresses an exploratory research question to establish key concepts, types of evidence, and gaps in research related to a field [28]. After specifying the research question, we searched for potentially relevant studies, selected qualifying studies, extracted relevant information, summarized and analyzed the information [34,35].…”
