Integration of cervical cancer screening into healthcare facilities in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review protocol

Por: Kassa · R. N. · Shifti · D. M. · Alemu · K. · Omigbodun · A. O.
Background

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in women, with 90% of deaths in low- and middle-income countries. Integrating cervical cancer screening services into healthcare facilities is crucial for overcoming the disease. Thus, this review aims to map existing evidence and identify barriers and facilitators in low- and middle-income countries.

Methods

The scoping review will employ a five-step framework as proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. These are (1) formulating the research questions, (2) identifying relevant studies, (3) selecting eligible studies, (4) charting the data, and (5) collating, summarising and reporting the results. Five databases (MEDLINE, Maternity and Infant Care, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Web of Science) will be systematically searched. Grey literature will also be searched. Data will be extracted, charted, synthesised and summarised.

Ethics and dissemination

This review does not require ethics approval. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs and conference presentations.

Short birth interval prevalence, determinants and effects on maternal and child health outcomes in Asia-Pacific region: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

Por: Shifti · D. M. · Chojenta · C. · Hassen · T. A. · Harris · M. L.
Background

Short birth interval (SBI) has been linked to an increased risk of adverse maternal, perinatal, infant and child health outcomes. However, the prevalence and maternal and child health impacts of SBI in the Asia-Pacific region have not been well understood. This study aims to identify and summarise the existing evidence on SBI including its definition, measurement prevalence, determinants and association with adverse maternal and child health outcomes in the Asia-Pacific region.

Methods

Five databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Maternity and Infant Care, and Web of Science (WoS)) will be systematically searched from September 2000 up to May 2023. Data will be extracted, charted, synthesised and summarised based on the outcomes measured, and where appropriate, meta-analysis will be performed. The risk of bias will be assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute quality appraisal. Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework will be used to evaluate the quality of cumulative evidence from the included studies.

Ethics and dissemination

This review does not require ethics approval. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs and conference presentations.

PROSPERO registration number

A protocol will be registered on PROSPERO for each separate outcome before performing the review.
