Chronic Pain and School Functioning Systematic Review Search Strategy

Search Methods for Identification of Studies: To identify studies to include or consider for this systematic review, the review team worked with a librarian to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The search was developed for PubMed (NLM) and was translated to ERIC (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), and CINAHL (EBSCOHost) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included Trip database, EPPI-Centre’s Bibliomap, and the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global. The search was restricted to publication dates since 1980 since developments in the treatment of pediatric chronic pain are relatively recent. The final search was completed on June 9, 2021. The full search details are provided in Appendix(___). PubMed (NLM) from inception to 6/9/21 (1,268 Results) ERIC (EBSCOhost) from inception to 6/9/21 (147 Results) PsycINFO (EBSCOhost) from inception to 6/9/21 (726 Results) Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) from inception to 6/9/21 (1,227 Results) CINAHL (EBSCOHost) from inception to 6/9/21 (725 Results) Trip database from inception to 6/9/21 (85 Results) EPPI-Centre Bibliomap from inception to 6/9/21 (6 Results) ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global from inception to 6/9/21 (45 Results) The search resulted in 4,229 studies (136 from grey literature sources). 1,510 duplicate studies were found and omitted using Endnote 20 for the deduplication of records and 2,719 references were eligible to screen. Studies were screened by title and abstract by two blinded and independent reviewers. If a tiebreaker was needed, a third reviewer was called in. This process was repeated for full text article screening and article selection.
