Key search 4 - Targeted search on bone fractures and bone mineral density until 2003 (PubMed)

This is a paper for discussion. This does not represent the views of the Committee and should not be cited.

30.             Literature search date: 24^th October 2023.

31.             Search concept: Fluorides AND bone outcomes NOT animals (see below for further details).

32.             Chemical search terms (fluorides concept): presumably as for Key search 1[8].

33.             Bone outcomes concept: "Bone and Bones"[Mesh] OR "Bone Density"[Mesh] OR "Bone Diseases"[Mesh] OR "Fractures, Bone"[Mesh] OR "Skeleton"[Mesh:noExp] OR "bone cancer"[Title/Abstract:~3][9] OR "bones cancer"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone decalcification"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones decalcification"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone decalcified"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones decalcified"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone demineralization"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones demineralization"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone demineralized"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones demineralized"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone demineralisation"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones demineralistation"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone demineralised"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones demineralised"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone density"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones density"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone disease"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone diseases"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones disease"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones diseases"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone health"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones health"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone loss"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones loss"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone mass"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones mass"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone neoplasia"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones neoplasia"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone neoplasm"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones neoplasm"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone neoplasms"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones neoplasms"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone tumour"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone tumours"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones tumour"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones tumours"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone tumor"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones tumor"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone tumors"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bones tumors"[Title/Abstract:~3] OR "bone mineral densit*"[tiab] OR Osteopor*[tiab] OR fracture*[tiab] OR skelet*[tiab].

34.             Animals concept (exclusion): see Key search 3.

[8] Although annex G notes “fluoride terms used as in the previous searches”, the search summary table includes the following search string ("Fluorides"[Mesh:NoExp] OR "Fluorides, Topical"[Mesh] OR "Sodium Fluoride"[Mesh] OR "Calcium Fluoride"[Mesh] OR "potassium fluoride" [Supplementary Concept] OR "ammonium fluoride" [Supplementary Concept] OR Fluoride[tiab] OR Fluorides[tiab] OR "16984-48-8"[tiab] OR 16984488[tiab] OR "Fluoride ion"[tiab] OR "Sodium fluoride"[tiab] OR "Potassium fluoride"[tiab] OR "Calcium fluoride"[tiab] OR "Ammonium fluoride"[tiab]), presumably erroneously.
