note = "Funding Information: The reduction mammaplasty clinical practice guideline included the search strings used for their search strategy; therefore, for the sake of consistency, we reconstructed them. We searched PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov , and the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trial Registry Platform (ICTRP) for relevant published and registered studies that addressed the recommendations made within the breast reduction guideline. PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) questions were then constructed for each guideline to aid in the screening process. One of us (AS) screened each result for relevance. If the inclusion of a study was unclear, JC also reviewed it. Studies were included if at least one of the study's arms fit the PICO question. As a secondary aim, we evaluated studies funded by The Plastic Surgery Foundation to determine whether recently funded studies addressed the research gaps we identified from the breast reduction CPG.
