Abstract [en]

The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and characterize helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) outcomes literature from 2023, with the goal of describing updates to the Critical Care Transport Collaborative Outcomes Research Effort HEMS Outcomes Assessment Research Database (HOARD). Methods: Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, a multireviewer approach was used to source and review articles published or in preprint databases from 2023. The articles included assessed a patient-centered outcome for HEMS versus a nonHEMScontrol group. Article characteristics included the journal impact factor (JIF), diagnostic group (trauma or nontrauma), and geographic origin. Categoric analyses comparing 2023 studies with HOARD studies from the previous decade (2013-2022) were executed with the Fisher exact test; nonnormal JIF data were described using median and interquartile range and analyzed (vs 2013-2022) with rank sum testing. Results: Of the initial records (N = 4,486), 4,410 were screened out, leaving 76 for full-text review. Of these, 58 were discarded, and 18 were classified as eligible for addition to HOARD. Most studies (14/18, 78%) focused on trauma, and an equally high proportion (14/18, 78%) came from North America. The median JIF was 2.4 (interquartile range, 1.2-3.6). Compared with HOARD studies from the previous decade, 2023 studies were similar with respect to diagnostic focus (P = .779), geographic origin (P = .171), and JIF (P = .531). Conclusion: This scoping review provides information on 18 HEMS outcomes studies new to the evidence base in 2023.
