Reference strategy

75%

relative recall: 391 of the reference's 521 records

Relative recall counts every record the reference finds, relevant or not, so it does not show how many relevant studies this search finds.

This search is limited to 2020-present; the reference is not, so its records outside that limit cannot count as found.

This search finds 1,072 records in total. The reference was run as its final line.

Objective and notes from the draft

To identify studies examining whether COVID-19 vaccination is associated with neurocognitive and neurological outcomes of COVID-19, including long COVID (post-acute sequelae) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

  • The searcher's publication-type exclusions (Comment, Case Reports, Editorial, Preprint) are final, so excludePublicationTypes is empty.
  • Following the model strategy, the outcome block is required because the review is defined by neurocognitive outcomes.
  • Vaccine-specific headings (BNT162 Vaccine, 2019-nCoV Vaccine mRNA-1273, ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, Ad26COVS1) are not listed separately because they fall under the exploded COVID-19 Vaccines heading.
  • vaccin* in tiab is broad, but ANDing with the COVID and neuro blocks keeps the result small; it is needed because example 1 mentions vaccination only in its abstract.
  • Broad neurology headings (Nervous System Diseases, Headache) and mental-health terms were left out to keep the outcome block focused on neurocognition; add them if the searcher wants to include broader neurological sequelae.
  • The abbreviation PASC alone was left out because it is ambiguous; the spelled-out form and neuro-PASC are included.
