Qualitative Thematic Analysis

IntroductionCountries identified to bear the highest tuberculosis (TB) incidence account for approximately 85% of the global TB burden. TB is curable, yet nearly 40% of TB cases remained undiagnosed hence delaying treatment and perpetuating transmission. This systematic review aimed to review current evidence on factors associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment of TB in the high TB-burden countries.Methods and analysisThis systematic review will incorporate qualitative and observational study designs published between 2008 and 2018. Articles will be retrieved from major databases including PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO. Reference lists of key articles, including relevant systematic reviews and meta-analysis, will be screened for additional studies. Two independent reviewers will screen and select studies, extract data and assess the quality and risk of bias of each study. Study-specific estimates will be pooled by meta-analysis, and effect sizes will be presented as OR and their 95% CI. Levels of heterogeneity will be evaluated using chi-square statistic Q and I2. Publication bias will be assessed using forest plots and Egger’s tests. Qualitative findings and sample quotes will be extracted. Textual references to the topics of interest will be retrieved and categorised using qualitative thematic analysis. We will triangulate quantitative and qualitative findings for a complete understanding of the reasons for delayed TB diagnosis and treatment. Results will be presented by geographical region.Ethics and disseminationThis study will be conducted based on published data. This systematic review may provide insights into the reasons for delayed TB diagnosis in high-burden countries. These findings will also inform future research and key stakeholders in developing interventions to reach these undiagnosed cases effectively. Findings from this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018107237

Positive Prevention

IntroductionVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious life-threatening complication in patients with gastric cancer. Abnormal coagulation function and tumour-related treatment may contribute to the occurrence of VTE. Many guidelines considered that surgical treatment would put patients with cancer at high risk of VTE, so positive prevention is needed. However, there are no studies that have systematically reviewed the postoperative risk and distribution of VTE in patients with gastric cancer. We thus conduct this systematic review to determine the risk of VTE in patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgery and provide some evidence for clinical decision-making.Methods and analysisStudies reporting the incidence of VTE after gastric cancer surgery will be included. Primary studies of randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, population-based surveys and cross-sectional studies are eligible for this review and only studies published in Chinese and English will be included. We will search the Medline, Embase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang data from their inception to November 2019. Two reviewers will independently select studies and extract data. The quality of each included study will be assessed with tools corresponding to their study design. Meta-analysis will be used to pool the incidence data from included studies. Heterogeneity of the estimates across studies will be assessed, if necessary, a subgroup analysis will be performed to explore the source of heterogeneity. The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation method is applied to assess the level of evidence obtained from this systematic review.Ethics and disseminationThis proposed systematic review and meta-analysis is based on published data, and thus ethical approval is not required. The results of this review will be sought for publication.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019144562
