The geographical origin of all published papers in four major vascular journals as well as the "vascular papers" in two high impact "general" surgical journals during a four year period (2003-2006) were examined by search of their electronic editions. As an index of high quality papers, the randomized controlled trials (RCT's) by country were also examined. A total of 3422 papers were searched in the four vascular journals (115 RCT's) while 144 "vascular" papers (19 RCT's) were located in the two "general" surgical journals. It was not surprising that USA and western European countries were having the largest contribution to the vascular literature.
通过检索四大主要血管外科杂志以及两份高影响力“普通”外科杂志在四年期间（2003 - 2006年）发表的所有论文的电子版，研究了这些论文的地理来源。作为高质量论文的一个指标，还按国家对随机对照试验（RCT）进行了研究。在四大血管外科杂志中共检索到3422篇论文（115项RCT），而在两份“普通”外科杂志中找到了144篇“血管外科”论文（19项RCT）。美国和西欧国家对血管外科文献的贡献最大，这并不奇怪。
