Articles were classified into four categories of simulation studies. Allocation of seven MeSH terms (Simulation Training, Patient Simulation, High Fidelity Simulation Training, Computer Simulation, Patient-Specific Modelling, Virtual Reality, and Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) was investigated. Accuracy metrics (sensitivity, precision, or positive predictive value) were calculated for each category of studies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Key findings<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A set of 7213 articles was obtained from 53 different word combinations, with 2634 excluded as irrelevant. \u2018Simulated patient\u2019 and \u2018standardized\/standardized patient\u2019 were the most used terms. The 4579 included articles, published in 1044 different journals, were classified into: \u2018Machine\/Automation\u2019 (8.6%), \u2018Education\u2019 (75.9%) and \u2018Practice audit\u2019 (11.4%); 4.1% were \u2018Unclear\u2019. Articles were indexed with a median of 10 MeSH (IQR 8\u201313); however, 45.5% were not indexed with any of the seven MeSH terms. Patient Simulation was the most prevalent MeSH (24.0%). Automation articles were more associated with Computer Simulation MeSH (sensitivity = 54.5%; precision = 25.1%), while Education articles were associated with Patient Simulation MeSH (sensitivity = 40.2%; precision = 80.9%).
