However, the extent and nature of PPI in autoimmune and inflammatory ocular disease research remain unclear and inconsistently reported.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This scoping review aims to map how patients and the public have been involved in research relating to autoimmune and inflammatory ocular diseases across clinical, translational, and preclinical domains.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This scoping review follows the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O\u2019Malley and refined by Levac, while incorporating elements of JBI guidance for scoping reviews. Reporting is informed by the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist. The MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to March 2025. Studies describing patient or public involvement in autoimmune or inflammatory ocular disease research were considered eligible for inclusion. Screening, data extraction, and thematic synthesis will be conducted using predefined eligibility criteria and a prepiloted charting form.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Database searches were completed in March 2025. Following piloting of eligibility criteria and screening procedures, title and abstract screening commenced in April 2025. Full-text screening, data charting, and synthesis were planned sequentially in accordance with the protocol described, with completion of the review anticipated in December 2026. Findings from the completed scoping review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations, and patient advocacy networks.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This scoping review will provide the first comprehensive overview of how PPI has been implemented within autoimmune and inflammatory ocular disease research. Mapping current approaches and gaps may help support more meaningful integration of patient perspectives in future research and strengthen cocreation approaches within ophthalmology and autoimmune disease research.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/88991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]],"date-time":"2026-08-21T18:23:42Z","timestamp":1787336622000},"page":"e88991-e88991","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Public and Patient Involvement in Research in the Fields of Inflammatory or Autoimmune Ocular Diseases: Protocol for a Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6906-7563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gr\u00e1inne","family":"Tynan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deirdre","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eileen","family":"Sheehy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-2787-1504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Lauder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8534-6427","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikki","family":"Dunne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1369-7973","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emily","family":"Greenan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1556-3381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Killian","family":"Walsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4886-9691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Doyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4247-3952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joan","family":"N\u00ed Gabhann-Dromgoole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9482","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)66990-5","article-title":"Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome","volume":"366","author":"Fox","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrdp.2016.47","article-title":"Sj\u00f6gren syndrome","volume":"2","author":"Brito-Zer\u00f3n","journal-title":"Nat Rev Dis Primers"},{"issue":"16","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1552","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1510030","article-title":"Graves\u2019 disease","volume":"375","author":"Smith","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"3","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtos.2017.05.008","article-title":"TFOS DEWS II definition and classification report","volume":"15","author":"Craig","journal-title":"Ocul Surf"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clim.2019.04.009","article-title":"Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome: an update on disease pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment","volume":"203","author":"Vivino","journal-title":"Clin Immunol"},{"issue":"1","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2014.07.026","article-title":"Ocular and systemic morbidity in a longitudinal cohort of Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome","volume":"122","author":"Akpek","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"issue":"6","key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2252","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.13823","article-title":"Beyond dry eye: the greater extent of Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s systemic disease symptoms, the impact of COVID-19 and perceptions towards telemedicine identified through a patient co-designed study","volume":"26","author":"Greenan","journal-title":"Health Expect"},{"key":"R8","unstructured":"Collins D Greenan E Kerin L N\u00ed Gabhann-Dromgoole J .
