Mapping the Quality and Standardization of Methodological Reports in POCUS Research: A Scoping Review Protocol
Given the variability in POCUS literature, this scoping review will identify patterns, inconsistencies, and gaps in methodological reporting. Although international frameworks, such as I-AIM provide guidance, adherence remains inconsistent, underscoring the need for more uniform standards. Findings from this review are expected to inform reporting practices, enhance methodological quality, and support the safe and effective incorporation of POCUS into clinical practice.
