Abstract
Introduction: Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is an umbrella term that describes a broad range of brain related visual problems and it is now the most common cause of visual impairment (VI) in children in the developed world. Early assessment, management and support are essential to minimise the risk of lifelong negative consequences. Currently there are no internationally agreed clinical guidelines for the investigation and diagnosis of CVI, with variation in existing models of care resulting in potential service health inequities for this population. Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe the components of existing service delivery models of care in relation to the detection, care, and management of children with CVI. Methods: We will search multiple databases to include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, APA PsycINFO, and The Cochrane Library for English language publications from OECD countries. Supplementary searches will also be conducted to locate grey literature. We will include any study that describes or assesses service delivery for children (0–17 years) with CVI in health and social care, and education settings. Stakeholder engagement: We consulted with a broad range of stakeholders including subject experts and patient and public representatives during the planning and will continue during the conduct, reporting and dissemination of this scoping review.
