Scoping Review Data on Pediatric PICC Indications, Management, and Complications

Tamy Ananda da Silva Costa created a structured data extraction table for a scoping review on peripherally inserted central catheters in pediatrics and neonatology. The 1.5 MB PDF file contains standardized records from included studies, last updated on April 25, 2026. The spreadsheet includes variables such as study type, population, PICC insertion details, and complications.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in PICC complication rates based on recorded mechanical, infectious, and thrombotic events.
• Compare PICC insertion techniques and post-insertion care protocols across different studies.
• Identify knowledge gaps in pediatric PICC management based on the thematic axes and conclusions extracted.

Strengths

• Data was extracted using a structured spreadsheet developed specifically for this scoping review, ensuring standardized recording.
• The table includes a wide range of variables, from methodological characterization to specific clinical-care findings and complication data.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The data is contained in a PDF file, which may require extraction to a tabular format for analysis.
