Developing your search strategy
Example: MalnutritionUse both indexing terms and free-text
“Malnutrition"[MeSH] OR “malnutrition” OR “undernutrition" OR “under-nutrition” OR “nutritional deficiency” OR “undernourishment”
![Page 8: Developing a search strategy for your systematic review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c670a44a7959ec028b457f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why use free-text AND indexing terms?
Indexing quality varies by databaseSome articles have not yet been indexedNo abstract includedNon-English material
![Page 10: Developing a search strategy for your systematic review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c670a44a7959ec028b457f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Standardized Index Terms
HIV"human immuno-deficiency virus" n=199
"HIV"[Mesh] n=80480
![Page 11: Developing a search strategy for your systematic review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c670a44a7959ec028b457f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Combine standardized terms with natural languageHIV"human immuno-deficiency virus" n=199
"HIV"[Mesh] n=80480
"HIV"[Mesh] OR "human immuno-deficiency virus" n=80640
We added 160 articles by including the free-text term in the MeSH term search
![Page 12: Developing a search strategy for your systematic review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c670a44a7959ec028b457f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Search strategy with harvested terms HIV Infections[MeSH] OR HIV[MeSH] OR hiv[tw] OR hiv-1[tw] OR hiv-2[tw] OR human immunodeficiency virus[tw] OR human immunedeficiency virus[tw] OR human immuno-deficiency virus[tw] OR human immune-deficiency virus[tw]
n= 315017

Term harvesting
Synonyms in standard index entries Titles and abstracts of key articles Dictionaries and Thesauri

Example: preterm infant

Putting together a search strategy
High sensitivity (low precision) Minimize bias Reproducible (documentation)
![Page 21: Developing a search strategy for your systematic review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c670a44a7959ec028b457f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Putting together a search strategy
Example:
Micronutrient supplementation in pregnant women with HIV infection The Cochrane Collaboration Siegfried N, Irlam JH, Visser ME, and Rollins NN 2012
![Page 22: Developing a search strategy for your systematic review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c670a44a7959ec028b457f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Putting together a search strategy
Objective:
To assess whether micronutrient supplements are effective and safe in reducing mortality and morbidity in pregnant women with HIV infection.
