1Department of Digital Anti-Aging Healthcare (BK21), Inje University, Gimhae 50834, Republic of Korea.
This review found that meta-analysis studies on South Korean suicidal ideation often lack quality assessments and omit critical details, leading to critically low methodological quality. Future studies must improve quality by including assessments and bias testing.
Area of Science:
- Mental Health Research
- Psychiatry
- Public Health
Background:
- Systematic review of meta-analysis studies on suicidal ideation in South Korea.
- Evaluation of methodological quality using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR-2) tool.
Purpose of the Study:
- Improve the quality of future meta-analysis studies on suicidal ideation.
- Suggest directions for subsequent research in this field.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 11 meta-analysis studies published between January 1, 2000, and December 3, 2022.
- Data collection from seven electronic databases.
- Quality assessment based on AMSTAR-2 criteria.
Main Results:
- Significant omissions in critical domains were identified across all 11 analyzed studies.
- Lack of quality assessment and reporting of excluded references were common issues.
- Over half of the studies (54.5%) failed to address publication bias, resulting in critically low overall quality.
Conclusions:
- The methodological quality of meta-analysis studies on South Korean suicidal ideation is critically low.
- Future research must incorporate rigorous quality assessments and address potential biases to enhance reliability.
