Abstract
"Background Chinical practice guidelines for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CANDLEP) began development in May, 2022. By 2019, Novak had identified 182 intervention measures based on a custom search strategy. These interventions exhibit significant heterogeneity, being reflected in inconsistent naming, unclear core intervention features, and less repeated validations.
Objectives To systematically summarize the evidence of interventions for cerebral palsy (CP) patients, standardize the namings, extract core features, and establish a corresponding database.
Methods The search was conducted on May 19, 2022, and included the following databases: Embase via Ovid, Cochrane, Pubmed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Sinomed. Experienced clinicians independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts of unduplicated articles using the web-app Rayyan. Extracted information included study design, characteristics of participants, intervention implementing details, major and minor outcomes, and conclusions. The interventions were summarized based on their similar nams, standardized, and then compared with Novak's findings. Guideline expert groups and external clinicians determined the type and independence of interventions based on the initially extracted information and their clinical experience. Core features were peek-checked, re-extracted, combined, and simplified as needed.
Results Overall, 950 articles met the inclusion criteria for review. Initially, a total of 483 interventions were identified, which were subsequently consolidated into 189 with unified names. Each intervention was further classified into three categories: discrete interventions, independent treatment concepts, and as part of an intervention or concept. Depending on the intervention types, the extraction of core features will focus on the details of implementations or theoretical underpinnings.
Conclusions Establishing a unified rule for naming interventions and building a database for CP intervention based on the extraction of core features, to provide data support for homogeneous intervention of CP."
