Diversity in clinical trial inclusion for peripheral artery disease lower extremity endovascular interventions: a systematic review protocol

Aim: This review provides a study protocol for a systematic review of peripheral artery disease (PAD) clinical trials to examine the eligibility criteria, demographic representation, and enrollment strategies among PAD patients undergoing lower extremity (LE) endovascular interventions. Methods: T...

description Aim: This review provides a study protocol for a systematic review of peripheral artery disease (PAD) clinical trials to examine the eligibility criteria, demographic representation, and enrollment strategies among PAD patients undergoing lower extremity (LE) endovascular interventions. Methods: This systematic review will be conducted according to the Cochrane Collaboration methodology for systematic reviews and following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMAP). Eligible studies will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) between January 2012 and December 2022. The primary outcome will be a description and summary of the frequency of the reporting of demographic characteristics. The feasibility of a meta-analysis or meta-regression will be explored, but if determined to be infeasible, the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) reporting guideline will be followed for the reporting of findings. Discussion: The findings may help to quantify existing inequities in clinical trial participation that may be addressed through optimizing enrollment strategies for future PAD trials. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO (CRD42022378304)
