Facial Paralysis and Quality of Life Literature Review from PubMed, Lilacs, and SciELO

A literature review by Rayné Moreira Melo Santos on the relationship between facial paralysis, quality of life, and interprofessional healthcare work. The review was conducted via electronic search in the PubMed, Lilacs, and SciELO databases using a combination of specific descriptors. Evidence from the review indicated few studies linking all the addressed concepts and suggested interprofessional work can help overcome knowledge fragmentation in patient care.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the intersection of facial paralysis and patient-reported quality of life based on the review's thematic focus.
• Studying the role of interprofessional teams in healthcare delivery based on the described literature findings.
• Identifying research gaps in the combined study of facial paralysis, quality of life, and health worker collaboration as noted in the abstract.

Strengths

• The review is based on searches across three established biomedical databases: PubMed, Lilacs, and SciELO.
• The search used a specific combination of six descriptors to identify relevant publications.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
