Nurse-authored research articles -- keywords

This strategy was contributed by Concepción Campos-Asensio.  It's the filter for nurse-authored research articles published in: McGraw MP. Narrowing PubMed searches to nursing-related articles. Comput Inform Nurs. 2009 Sep-Oct;27(5):272-5. PubMed PMID: 19726919.

(randomi* OR cohort OR systematic OR RCT) AND (nurse* OR nursing OR LVN OR LPN OR RN OR BSN OR MSN OR ND OR DNSc OR DNP)

one-to-many study design -- keywords -- not for PubMed

This search strategy doesn't work well in PubMed. I decided to post the "one-to-many" search strategy on the PubMed blog to remind myself that I might end up having to perform a Google Scholar search for this concept. I usually only try Google Scholar after becoming discouraged with other options (including PubMed).

("one-with-many method" OR "one-with-many design" OR "one-with-many matching" OR "one-to-many design" OR "one-to-many method" OR "one-to-many matching" OR "one-of-many design" OR "one-of-many method" OR "one-of-many matching" OR "many-with-one method" OR "many-with-one design" OR "many-with-one matching" OR "many-to-one design" OR "many-to-one method" OR "many-to-one matching" )

statins -- keywords

The first search statement shown below was produced by ORing together the synonyms from the MICROMEDEX POISINDEX Managements article "LOVASTATIN AND RELATED DRUGS" and the American trade names from AHFS Drug Information. (CAS numbers from the MICROMEDEX article were not included.) Alternate forms of investigational names were inserted.

("HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors" OR "HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor" OR statin OR statins OR LOVASTATIN OR "L-154803" OR "L154803" OR "L 154803" OR "MB-530B" OR "MB530B" OR "MB 530B" OR "6-alpha methylcompactin" OR Mevinacor OR Mevinic OR Mevinolin OR Mevlor OR "MK-803" OR "MK803" OR "MK 803" OR Monacolin OR "MSD-803" OR "MSD803" OR "MSD 803"OR mevacor OR altoprev OR CERIVASTATIN OR "BAY W6228" OR "BAY-W6228" OR "BAYW6228" OR FLUVASTATIN OR "XU-62-320" OR "XU62-320" OR "XU 62-320" OR lescol OR ATORVASTATIN OR lipitor OR caduet OR "CI-981" OR "CI981" OR "CI 981" OR PITAVASTATIN OR Itavastatin OR Nisvastatin OR "NK-104" OR "NK104" OR "NK 104" OR "NKS-104" OR "NKS104" OR "NKS 104" OR "P-872441" OR "P872441" OR "P 872441" OR PRAVASTATIN OR "CS-514" OR "CS514" OR "CS 514" OR Eptastatin OR "3-beta-Hydroxycompactin" OR Pravachol OR ROSUVASTATIN OR Crestor OR "ZD4522" OR "ZD 4522" OR "ZD-4522" OR SIMVASTATIN OR "L-644128-OOOU" OR "L644128OOOU" OR "L 644128-OOOU" OR "MK-733" OR "MK733" OR "MK 733" OR Synvinolin OR zocor )

The search statement (see above) was then test-run in PubMed. After the test run, it was clear that phrases and terms not recognized by PubMed would have to be removed as too many irrelevant results were being retrieved. I've removed the unrecognized phrases and terms from the search statement below:

("HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors" OR "HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor" OR statin OR statins OR LOVASTATIN OR "MB-530B" OR "MB 530B" OR Mevinacor OR Mevinic OR Mevinolin OR Mevlor OR "MK-803" OR "MK803" OR "MK 803" OR Monacolin OR mevacor OR altoprev OR CERIVASTATIN OR "BAYW6228" OR FLUVASTATIN OR "XU-62-320" OR "XU62-320" OR "XU 62-320" OR lescol OR ATORVASTATIN OR lipitor OR caduet OR "CI-981" OR "CI 981" OR PITAVASTATIN OR Itavastatin OR Nisvastatin OR "NK-104" OR "NK104" OR "NK 104" OR "P-872441" OR "P 872441" OR PRAVASTATIN OR "CS-514" OR "CS514" OR "CS 514" OR Eptastatin OR "3-beta-Hydroxycompactin" OR Pravachol OR ROSUVASTATIN OR Crestor OR "ZD4522" OR SIMVASTATIN OR "MK-733" OR "MK733" OR "MK 733" OR Synvinolin OR zocor )

PML -- keywords and MeSH

(PML* OR "Progressive Multifocal Leukodystrophy" OR "Progressive Multifocal Leucodystrophy" OR "progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy" OR "progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy" OR "Progressive Multifocal Leukodystrophies" OR "Progressive Multifocal Leucodystrophies" OR "progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathies" OR "progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathies" )

bisphosphonates -- keywords

(bisphosphonate* OR diphosphonate* OR clodronate OR clodronic OR Bonefos OR Bonephos OR alendronate OR alendronic OR Fosamax OR MK217 OR MK-217 OR "MK 217" OR etidronate OR etidronic OR didronel OR "Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic " OR HEDP OR EHDP OR HEDSPA OR ibandronate OR ibandronic OR boniva OR "BM 21.0955" OR "BM 210955" OR "BM-210955" OR BM21095 OR "BM-21.0955" OR OLPADRONATE OR opadronic OR Me2-APD OR Me2APD OR "Me2 APD" OR "dimethyl-pamidronate" OR pamidronate OR pamidronic OR AHPrBP OR " aminopropanehydroxydiphosphonate" OR "aminohydroxypropylidene diphosphonate" OR aredia OR risedronate OR risedronic OR actonel OR TILUDRONATE OR tiludronic OR skelid OR Cl2SMBP OR zoledronate OR zoledronic OR zometa OR reclast OR "CGP 42446" OR "CGP-42446" OR "CGP- 42446")

co-sleeping -- keyword

("Sleep environment" OR "sleep environments" OR ((bed OR beds ) AND (share OR shared OR sharing OR shares)) OR bedsharing OR "bed sharing" OR bed-sharing OR "sleeping arrangements" OR co-sleep* OR cosleep* OR co-bed* OR cobed*)

I produce keyword searches primarily for the purpose of searching PREMEDLINE and OLD MEDLINE. In PubMed, applying a Neonate/Infant age group limit to a search will limit that search to MEDLINE and exclude all PREMEDLINE and OLD MEDLINE results. For the co-sleeping concept, there is no good MeSH term so to retrieve MEDLINE results, I might perform the keyword search with a Neonate/Infant age group limit, and then, to retrieve PREMEDLINE/OLD MEDLINE/un-indexed PubMed Central records, I would remove the limits, add an infant/neonate concept in keywords, and add -- NOT MEDLINE[sb] -- at the end of the search statement. My infant/neonate keyword search statement is also available via the blog.

Southeast Asian -- keywords

This keyword list is not based on the most authoritative source. I'm posting it here because I never want to have to start from scratch on this list of terms again : - ).
