Search strategies for: "Interventions to improve drinking water supply and quality, sanitation and handwashing facilities in health care facilities, and their effect on health care-associated infections in low and middle-income countries: A systematic review and supplementary scoping review"
The search strategy was constructed around three concepts: [1] water, sanitation and hygiene; [2] health care facilities; and [3] low and middle income countries (the LMIC list were taken from the 2017 World Bank country classification).
The search was limited to primary research or reviews where possible, that were published in English from 1970 to current (see database dates). It was designed for use with the following databases:
[1] OvidSP Medline (1946 to April Week 2 2018);
[2] OvidSP Embase (1947 to 2018 April 23);
[3] OvidSP Global Health (1910 to 2018 week 15);
[4] Ebsco CINAHL Plus (complete database as of 25/04/2018)
[5] Ebsco AfricaWide Information (complete database as of 25/04/2018)
[6] Web of Science Core Collection, which contains the following databases: Science Citation Index Expanded (1970-present); Social Sciences Citation Index (1970-present); Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present); Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science (1990-present); Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Social Science & Humanities (1990-present); Emerging Sources Citation Index (2015-present).Data last updated 2018/04/25

Description of data capture | An initial search strategy was constructed by a professional librarian in OvidSP Medline. Comments on the draft search strategy and results were received from the rest of the research team and incorporated into an updated search draft. The OvidSP Medline search was run across all other databases, with edits made to incorporate differences in thesaurus terms and search syntax. This process was repeated until the precision and sensitivity of the search met resource requirements. Search results were uploaded to EndNote X8 software and duplicates removed. |
