We designed this study to demonstrate recent trends in the proportion of adult hip research in orthopedics, to identify countries leading the adult hip research, and to evaluate the relationship between the economic power of the countries and their contributions.
Studies published in seven select orthopedic journals were retrieved from PubMed. Among them, we determined the number of adult hip studies. The countries-of-origin of adult hip studies, and the economic power of the countries were investigated.
A total of 7218 orthopedic publications and 1993 (27.6%) addressed adult hip research were identified. Adult hip studies increased from 313 (23.7%) in 2000 to 555 (27.9%) in 2011. Twenty-five countries accounted for 97.6% of the total number of adult hip studies, and gross domestic product correlated with publication volume (Spearman's rho, 0.723; p=0.000).
Researchers from a limited number of developed countries have published their studies in the adult hip discipline.
我们开展这项研究以展示骨科领域成人髋关节研究比例的近期趋势,确定在成人髋关节研究方面领先的国家,并评估这些国家的经济实力与其贡献之间的关系。
从PubMed检索在七种选定骨科期刊上发表的研究。其中,我们确定了成人髋关节研究的数量。调查了成人髋关节研究的原产国以及这些国家的经济实力。
共识别出7218篇骨科出版物,其中1993篇(27.6%)涉及成人髋关节研究。成人髋关节研究从2000年的313篇(23.7%)增加到2011年的555篇(27.9%)。25个国家占成人髋关节研究总数的97.6%,国内生产总值与发表量相关(斯皮尔曼等级相关系数,0.723;p = 0.000)。
来自少数发达国家的研究人员在成人髋关节学科发表了他们的研究。
