Compreensão leitora em pessoas com Trissomia 21 - revisão de escopo

The aim of this study was to examine the factors that impact reading comprehension in individuals with Trisomy 21. This is a scoping review drawn up in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The search was carried out in the PubMed Central, LILACS, and SciELO databases and via EBSCO Host. The records were analyzed by two independent researchers. The descriptors used were: Down syndrome and Reading combined with natural language terms and Boolean operators. The level of evidence was assessed according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine classification, and the methodological quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies. The search resulted in a total of 637 studies, of which only seven were included. The methodological quality of the non-comparative studies ranged from low to medium, while that of the comparative studies ranged from medium to high risk of bias. Reading comprehension is altered in people with Trisomy 21. Listening comprehension was the factor with the greatest impact, while others included phonological awareness, working memory, isolated reading, and vocabulary. The factors that influence reading comprehension are heterogeneous, but they must be considered for appropriate intervention.
