Updating this classification represents a necessity to improve the indexing and retrieval of OPMD publications, in particular for systematic reviews and meta\u2010analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Through a critical appraisal of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Excerpta Medica Tree (EMTREE) thesauri, we assessed gaps in the indexing for OPMD literature and propose improvements for enhanced categorisation and retrieval.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study identifies inconsistencies and limitations in the classification of these disorders across the major medical databases, which may be summarized in the following findings: a) The MeSH database lacks a dedicated subject heading for \u201coral potentially malignant disorders\u201d; b) EMTREE indexing is incomplete, with only 5 out of 11 recognised OPMD having corresponding terms; c) Incoherent controlled vocabulary mappings hinder systematic literature retrieval.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To ensure accurate evidence synthesis, the authors recommend searching both PubMed and Embase for OPMD studies. Moreover, the use of Embase\u2019s PubMed query translator and Large Language Models, such as ChatGPT, may lead to retrieval biases due to indexing discrepancies, posing challenges for early\u2010career researchers and students. We recommend introducing \u201coral potentially malignant disorders\u201d as a standardised subject heading. Evidence\u2010based medicine underpins clinical decision support systems, which rely on standardised clinical coding for reliable health information. Enhanced medical ontologies will facilitate structured clinical coding, ensuring interoperability and improving clinical decision support systems.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jop.13616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T17:52:54Z","timestamp":1741715574000},"page":"241-247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Need to Improve the Medical Subject Headings (\n                    <scp>MeSH<\/scp>\n                    ) and the Excerpta Medica Tree (\n                    <scp>EMTREE<\/scp>\n                    ) Thesauri to Perform Systematic Review on Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5080-5921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vito Carlo Alberto","family":"Caponio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine University of Foggia  Foggia Italy"},{"name":"ORALMED Research Group, Department of Dental Clinical Specialties School of Dentistry, Complutense University  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3576-4670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gennaro","family":"Musella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine University of Foggia  Foggia Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2196-9868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"P\u00e9rez\u2010Say\u00e1ns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Implantology Unit (MedOralRes), Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Santiago de Compostela University  Santiago de Compostela Spain"},{"name":"ORALRES Group Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela (FIDIS)  Santiago de Compostela Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de los materiales de Santiago de Compostela (iMATUS) Avenida do Mestre Mateo  Santiago de Compostela Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4633-4893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Lo Muzio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine University of Foggia  Foggia Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7628-8598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Amaral Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Information and Health Decision Sciences (MEDCIDS) Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto  Porto Portugal"},{"name":"RISE\u2010Health PerMed Research Group, Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto  Porto Portugal"},{"name":"RISE\u2010Laboratorio Associado LT2\u2010Clinical and Translational Research in Oncology, Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto  Porto Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland, OH USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5727-0920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosa Mar\u00eda","family":"L\u00f3pez\u2010Pintor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ORALMED Research Group, Department of Dental Clinical Specialties School of Dentistry, Complutense University  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2014.5559"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00259-020-05073-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12664-020-01107-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/pubmed\/fdac036"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.n71"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10926-023-10110-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13643-020-01542-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","unstructured":"N.
