1 Truncation symbols (*) were used at the end of a search term, or part of a search term, to broaden the searches by retrieving unlimited suffix variations. The proximity operators “NEAR/x” and “ADJx” were used within Web of Science™ and MEDLINE® database searches, respectively, to retrieve records where the terms joined by the operator were within a specified number (x) of words of each other. The “.tw.” operator used in MEDLINE® database searches indicates a free text search specifically within the title and abstract fields to search for keywords.
