Design
Paediatric Dentistry journals ranked in the top five of the h5 index of Google Scholar Metrics were selected. SRs with MA were searched independently by two reviewers using PubMed and Scopus databases until December 2017. Methodological quality was assessed using A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05 and Mann‐Whitney U test and Kruskal‐Wallis test was employed for comparing the AMSTAR score with the journal characteristics.
Results
Finally, 24 SRs with MA were included. The overall AMSTAR score of SRs and MA published in paediatric dentistry journals was 7.08 ± 2.41. No statistically significant differences were found between the country, journal or focus of study to the quality of SRs except the number of authors and the year of publication (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
The quality of SRs and MA in leading Paediatric Dentistry journals were evaluated with AMSTAR tool and areas where quality could be improved were identified.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0960-7439</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1365-263X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/ipd.12414</identifier><identifier>PMID: 30070003</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>AMSTAR ; Databases, Factual ; Dentistry ; Evaluation Studies as Topic ; Humans ; Journal Impact Factor ; Meta-analysis ; methodological quality ; paediatric dentistry ; Pediatric Dentistry ; Publications - statistics & numerical data ; Quality ; Research Report ; Reviews ; Statistical analysis ; Statistics, Nonparametric ; systematic review</subject><ispartof>International journal of paediatric dentistry, 2018-11, Vol.28 (6), p.548-560</ispartof><rights>2018 BSPD, IAPD and John Wiley & Sons A/S.
