Applicability of Retrospective and Prospective Gender Scores for Clinical and Health Data: Protocol for a Scoping Review
ABSTRACT
Gender is known to have a strong influence on health and illness in humans. Despite its relevance for treatment and outcome, gender is insufficiently considered in current health research. One hindering factor is the poor representation of gender information in clinical and health (meta) data. The protocol for a scoping literature review will further explore the state of the literature by identifying existing gender scores and understanding how these scores are currently being used in clinical and health settings. The protocol describes how gender scores will be evaluated along the dimensions of applicability and usage in scientific investigations. By identifying scores that can be applied on existing large-scale datasets it will suggests steps towards a retrospective gender assessment. Secondly, we will establish the basis for a recommendation of standardized gender scores for future investigations.
