Eligibility Criteria for a Death Anxiety Meta-Analysis

Eligibility criteria define the inclusion and exclusion rules for a systematic review and meta-analysis on death anxiety. The dataset, a 5.5 KB Excel file, was authored by Tadgh Connery and last updated in April 2026. It supports the systematic examination of terror management theory in clinical populations.

Use Cases

• Replicating the systematic review's study selection process using the documented inclusion and exclusion criteria.
• Applying the criteria columns to screen new research articles for eligibility in related meta-analyses.
• Analyzing the relationship between clinical population status and study outcomes as defined by the criteria.
• Structuring literature review databases by tagging records with the criteria's binary (yes/no) or categorical fields.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse and adaptation.
• Provides the foundational logic (eligibility criteria) for a complete systematic review and meta-analysis.

Limitations

• Extremely small scale at 5.5 KB, indicating it contains only the criteria definitions, not the underlying study data.
• Lacks visible sample data or column descriptions, making the exact data structure unknown.
