Harms Reporting Is Inadequate in Systematic Reviews Regarding Hip Arthroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the quality of harms reporting in systematic reviews (SRs) regarding hip arthroscopy in the current literature.

Methods

In May 2022, an extensive search of 4 major databases was performed identifying SRs regarding hip arthroscopy: MEDLINE (PubMed and Ovid), EMBASE, Epistemonikos, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted, in which investigators performed screening and data extraction of the included studies in a masked, duplicate fashion. AMSTAR-2 (A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews-2) was used to assess the methodologic quality and bias of the included studies. The corrected covered area was calculated for SR dyads.

Results

A total of 82 SRs were included in our study for data extraction.
