In 2018, the Penn State Cancer Institute developed LionVu, a web mapping tool to educate and inform community health professionals about the cancer burden in Pennsylvania and its catchment area of 28 counties in central Pennsylvania. LionVu, redesigned in 2023, uses several open-source JavaScript libraries (i.e., Leaflet, jQuery, Chroma, Geostats, DataTables, and ApexChart) to allow public health researchers the ability to map, download, and chart 21 publicly available datasets for clinical, educational, and epidemiological audiences. County and census tract data used in choropleth maps were all downloaded from the sources website and linked to Pennsylvania and catchment area county and census tract geographies, using a QGIS plugin and Leaflet JavaScript. Two LionVu demonstrations are presented, and 10 other public health related web-GIS applications are reviewed. LionVu fills a role in the public health community by allowing clinical, educational, and epidemiological audiences the ability to visualize and utilize health data at various levels of aggregation and geographical scales (i.e., county, or census tracts). Also, LionVu is a novel application that can translate and can be used, for mapping and graphing purposes. A dialog to demonstrate the potential value of web-based GIS to a wider audience, in the public health research community, is needed.

Background Evidence on hearing outcome measures when assessing hearing preservation following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for adults with vestibular schwannoma (VS) has not previously been collated in a structured review. Objective The objective of the present study was to perform a scoping review of the evidence regarding the choice of hearing outcomes and other methodological characteristics following SRS for adults with VS. Methods The protocol was registered in the International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses extension guidelines for scoping reviews. A systematic search of five online databases revealed 1,591 studies, 247 of which met the inclusion criteria. Results The majority of studies ( n = 213, 86%) were retrospective cohort or case series with the remainder ( n = 34, 14%) prospective cohort. Pure-tone audiometry and speech intelligibility were included in 222 (90%) and 158 (64%) studies, respectively, often summarized within a classification scheme and lacking procedural details. Fifty-nine (24%) studies included self-report measures. The median duration of follow-up, when reported, was 43 months (interquartile range: 29, 4-150). Conclusion Evidence on hearing disability after SRS for VS is based on low-quality studies which are inherently susceptible to bias. This review has highlighted an urgent need for a randomized controlled trial assessing hearing outcomes in patients with VS managed with radiosurgery or radiological observation. Similarly, consensus and coproduction of a core outcome set to determine relevant hearing and communication outcome domains is required. This will ensure that patient priorities, including communication abilities in the presence of background noise and reduced participation restrictions, are addressed.
背景 在对患有前庭分裂瘤（VS）的成人进行立体定向放射外科手术（SRS）后评估听力保存情况时，有关听力结果测量方法的证据以前从未在结构性综述中进行过整理。目的 本研究旨在对成人 VS 患者接受 SRS 治疗后听力结果的选择及其他方法学特征方面的证据进行范围界定。方法 该方案已在注册系统综述和荟萃分析方案国际平台（INPLASY）上注册，并根据系统综述和荟萃分析扩展指南的首选报告项目进行了范围界定综述报告。通过对五个在线数据库进行系统检索，共发现 1,591 项研究，其中 247 项符合纳入标准。结果 大部分研究（n = 213，86%）为回顾性队列研究或病例系列研究，其余研究（n = 34，14%）为前瞻性队列研究。纯音测听和言语清晰度分别包含在 222 项（90%）和 158 项（64%）研究中，这些研究通常在分类方案中进行总结，缺乏程序细节。59项（24%）研究采用了自我报告测量方法。报告的随访时间中位数为 43 个月（四分位间范围：29，4-150）。结论 有关 VS SRS 后听力残疾的证据都是基于低质量的研究，这些研究本身就容易产生偏差。本综述强调，迫切需要进行随机对照试验，评估采用放射手术或放射学观察治疗的 VS 患者的听力结果。同样，还需要达成共识并共同制定一套核心结果，以确定相关的听力和交流结果领域。这将确保患者的优先事项，包括在背景噪声和减少参与限制情况下的交流能力，都能得到解决。
