Risk and Patient Safety in Adult Cataract Surgery: A Scoping Review and Evidence-Informed System-Level Synthesis
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This registration contains the a priori protocol for a scoping review examining risk and patient-safety determinants associated with complications in adult cataract surgery. The review will systematically search PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Web of Science Core Collection for empirical studies published from 1 January 2022 to the final search date. The evidence will be mapped across patient-related, anatomical, intraoperative, human, training, process, and organisational domains. The resulting system-level framework will be presented as an evidence-informed, hypothesis-generating conceptual synthesis rather than a validated causal model.
