We identified a total of 1875 records.(1791 in PUBMED, 53 in LILACS and
31 in Scielo). 109 were selected by title and abstract reading including
pediatric and adult population, 6 out of the 109 studies were
eliminated because of being duplicated in the other bases and 4 because
on the basis of being reviews or consensus and were used as theoretical
framework and for supporting arguments. 76 out of the 99 resulting
articles corresponded with adult population (76.76%) 22 with pediatric
population (22.22%) and 1 study about predictors was not aligned with
the objective after reading the full text. A total of 22 studies were
included for data extraction and analysis. The selection process with
the reasons by which studies were excluded is enumerated in the
flowchart.(Image 1).
After analyzing the selected studies it was decided to undertake a
systematic review of existing studies about decannulation without
meta-analysis due to the lack of statistical requirements necessary for
its development.
