“…A systematic literature review (SLR) is a rigorous approach that aims to identify, analyze, and interpret all available information related to a research subject in an objective manner (Bansal et al., 2022; Kraus et al., 2022; Lim, Kumar, et al., 2022; Paul et al., 2021; Yadav & Bansal, 2021). In contrast, a nonsystematic but critical review provides a more informal and flexible approach to reviewing literature, focused on gradual knowledge development (Harvey et al., 2022). The integrative review herein follows the convention of an SLR as a systematic procedure offers transparency and replicability of the review (Kraus et al., 2022; Lim, Kumar, et al., 2022).…”

This study provides a comprehensive examination of necessity entrepreneurship, a concept distinct from its counterpart, opportunity entrepreneurship. Necessity entrepreneurship emerges from the compelling need to address economic hardship or unemployment, contrasting with opportunity entrepreneurship, which is driven by the pursuit of new market opportunities. The backdrop of this study is anchored in the escalating unemployment crisis and its implications for sustainable economic growth and the attainment of sustainable development goals. Through an integrative review combining bibliometric–content analysis of 96 publications, following the PRISMA protocol, and a detailed case analysis of 10 globally recognized entrepreneurs who embarked on their ventures driven by necessity, this study unravels the critical factors fueling the rise of necessity entrepreneurship. The findings delineate the relationship between necessity and opportunity entrepreneurship, highlighting how an entrepreneurial orientation can serve as a pivotal link. This orientation not only mitigates the adverse effects of unemployment but also propels the economy toward sustainable growth, thereby contributing significantly to the sustainable development goals. The insights derived from this study traverse multiple domains including entrepreneurial orientation, socio‐economic factors, as well as innovation and digitalization, offering a granular perspective on business policy, entrepreneurial ecosystems, the disparate impacts on developed versus developing nations, and the role of innovation in dynamic entrepreneurship. Through a conceptual framework, this study elucidates how entrepreneurial orientation can effectively bridge the gap between the unemployment crisis and sustainable economic growth. Therefore, this study not only enriches the academic discourse on necessity entrepreneurship but also provides pragmatic insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and scholars, emphasizing the crucial role of entrepreneurship in navigating economic and social challenges.

“…However, while the guidelines for reporting, conducting, and evaluating systematic and scoping reviews are well-established, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] including guidelines for systematic reviews in acute and chronic pain, [14][15][16][17] those for narrative reviews are less lucid. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The purpose of this brief paper is to address this gap by providing guidelines for reporting, conducting, and evaluating narrative reviews, with a focus on exemplars in the field of anesthesia and pain medicine. Consistent with the narrative review approach, the recommended guidelines that follow are intended to provide some degree of flexibility when reporting, conducting, and evaluating narrative reviews.…”

“…Consistent with the narrative review approach, the recommended guidelines that follow are intended to provide some degree of flexibility when reporting, conducting, and evaluating narrative reviews. From the authors perspective, the uniqueness of the current paper lies in (1) one condensed list for those in anesthesia and pain medicine to follow versus trying to decide on the many other different approaches that have been recommended, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] (2) examples specific to the field of anesthesia and pain medicine for narrative reviews, and (3) some leeway when reporting, conducting, and evaluating narrative reviews in anesthesia and pain medicine. It is the hope that this paper will result in an increase in both the quality and consistency of reporting, conducting, and evaluating narrative reviews in the field, including a better understanding of the major differences between a narrative review and other types of reviews.…”

Well-established guidelines and checklists for authors, reviewers, and readers of systematic reviews and scoping reviews are readily available. However, the availability of such for narrative reviews is lacking, including, but not limited to, field-specific guidelines in the field of anesthesia and pain medicine. In this brief article, we review the differences between the major types of reviews, followed by a more detailed description of narrative reviews that clearly differentiates them from other types of reviews. We include a recommended checklist that will aid producers, editors, reviewers, and consumers of narrative reviews as well as examples specific to the field of anesthesia and pain medicine. It is the hope that the guidelines recommended here will aid producers, editors, reviewers, and consumers of narrative reviews in anesthesia and pain medicine, includingRegional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine. Adherence to such should help differentiate between narrative reviews and other types of reviews as well as provide consistency in what elements are necessary to include in a narrative review in the field of anesthesia and pain medicine.

“…Reviewing the literature shows a shortage of systematic narrative reviews about FLTA. Therefore, this study aims to expand our knowledge by reviewing the current literature about FLTA by following proposed guidelines (e.g., Byrne, 2016;Ferrari, 2015;Green, Johnson & Adams, 2006;Harvey, Williams, Hernandez-Morgan, Fischer & Neelankavil, 2022) to identifying its causes and effects, and knowledge gaps for further research.…”
