TXA in Liposuction to Minimize Bleeding Systematic Review Search Strategy

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 Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL (EBSCOHost) and Cochrane Central (Wiley) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included ClinicalTrials.gov and WorldWideScience.org. The search included no major limits or date restrictions. The final search was completed on October 8, 2021. The full search details are provided PubMed (NLM) from inception to 10/08/2021 (62 Results) Embase (Elsevier) from inception to 10/08/2021 (376 Results) CINAHL (EBSCOHost) from inception to 10/08/2021 (41 Results) Cochrane Central (Wiley) from inception to 10/08/2021 (74 Results) The search resulted in 759 studies (206 from grey literature sources). Because 48 duplicate studies were found and omitted using Endnote X.20 for the deduplication of records, 711 references were eligible for screening. 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.
