Dataset Title: Literature searches for Review of Outcomes in Prepectoral Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction with and without Surgical Mesh Assistance

Dataset Creator: M P MacEachern

Dataset Contact: markmac@umich.edu

Funding: None


Key Points: This dataset includes database searches to support a systematic review.


Introduction:
The literature searches contained in this deposit were designed to support a systematic review project on the outcomes in prepectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction with and without surgical mesh assistance. The intent of the searches was to identify all relevant studies and data related to the topic. In the dataset there are searches for the following databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Elsevier Embase, Clarivate Web of Science, and Wiley Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. 

Methodology: The searches are presented in their entirety. The searches were run in 2019 and the research was published in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in 2021. The searches yielded 1168 citations after duplicates were removed in Endnote X8.

Files: 
All literature searches for the project are in these two files:
* BreastReconstructionMesh_LiteratureSearches_20190807.pdf
* BreastReconstructionMesh_LiteratureSearches_20190807.txt

Requirements:
The searches were designed to work in the following citation databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Elsevier Embase, Clarivate Web of Science, and Wiley Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The terms can be adapted to other databases as well, as long as the search syntax is adjusted appropriately. These databases are proprietary. They may be available through libraries and educational institutions. No installation of software is necessary. 

Using the searches:
* Open the pdf or txt file with the searches
* Paste the searches into the corresponding databases. All search strings can be executed in a single line search.
* The results will appear after you run the searches. The results numbers are included in the dataset. Note that the search result numbers reported in the dataset will be lower than present day because of the expanding coverage of time.
