Quality of Life of Type 1 Neurofibromatosis Patients: A Scoping Review Protocol

Lucas Paulo de Souza — 2024-03-19

Objective: To map concepts, findings, and limitations related to quality of life in children, adolescents, and young adults with neurofibromatosis type 1. Method: This is a scoping review protocol based on Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.

Low-Level Laser Dosimetry for Venous Ulcer Healing: A Protocol for Systematic Review

Cilene Fernandes Soares — 2024-04-23

Objective: To analyze the dosimetry of low-level laser therapy in the healing process of venous ulcers. Method: This is a protocol for systematic review registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under registry code CRD420211256286. Articles will be searched in 11 databases using Portuguese, English, and Spanish languages. The export of publications will follow the steps of study identification, selection, and data extraction. Disagreements will be resolved by consensus among reviewers; if they persist, a third reviewer will be consulted to decide whether to include the material. The Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool will be used to assess the validity of randomized clinical trials, while the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool will be used to assess the risk of bias in non-randomized clinical trials. The critical analysis of selected materials on dosimetry of low-level laser therapy for venous ulcer healing will result in a narrative synthesis without meta-analysis.
