Publication performance in anaesthesiology hints at research activity and attractiveness for a particular centre or country for anaesthetists.
The aim of this retrospective bibliographic study is to compare the publication performance of anaesthesiology departments within the countries of the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) combined. Outcome measures were the number of publications, the number of original articles, the average impact factor and the number of publications and average impact factor per million inhabitants.
Articles from anaesthesiology departments within the EU and EFTA countries published between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2015 were included. Articles were electronically imported from Medline into a database and linked to anaesthesiology departments according to the authors' affiliations. Publication performance was assessed for 2001 to 2005, 2006 to 2010, 2011 to 2015 and 2001 to 2015.
From 2001 to 2015, the absolute number of articles increased from 10 513 to 19 037 (+81%), whereas the number of original research articles decreased from 3786 to 1563 (-58%). Germany had the most publications (8948) with 1967 of these being original articles. Denmark achieved not only the highest average impact factor per million inhabitants (319.9) but also the most articles per anaesthesiologist (1.46), and per million habitants (105.7). Countries which moved up the income scale to a higher income class also increased the number of publications.
In the EU and EFTA countries, the total number of publications increased from 2001 to 2015, but the number of original research articles fell by more than 50%.
Between 2001 and 2015, in the EU and EFTA countries, the number of publications increased, whereas the number of original articles decreased. Germany published most, but Denmark had most publications per anaesthesiologist and per capita, and also achieved the highest impact factor per article.
麻醉学领域的出版物表现反映了特定中心或国家的研究活动和对麻醉师的吸引力。
本回顾性文献研究旨在比较欧盟（EU）和欧洲自由贸易联盟（EFTA）国家的麻醉科的出版物表现。结果测量指标为出版物数量、原始文章数量、平均影响因子以及每百万居民的出版物数量和平均影响因子。
纳入 2001 年 1 月 1 日至 2015 年 12 月 31 日期间发表的来自欧盟和 EFTA 国家麻醉科的文章。通过电子方式从 Medline 将文章导入数据库，并根据作者的隶属关系将其与麻醉科联系起来。对 2001 年至 2005 年、2006 年至 2010 年、2011 年至 2015 年以及 2001 年至 2015 年的出版物表现进行评估。
2001 年至 2015 年，文章数量从 10513 篇增加到 19037 篇（增加了 81%），而原始研究文章的数量从 3786 篇减少到 1563 篇（减少了 58%）。德国发表的文章最多（8948 篇），其中有 1967 篇是原始文章。丹麦不仅实现了每百万居民平均影响因子（319.9）最高，而且实现了每位麻醉师（1.46）和每百万居民（105.7）发表文章数量最高。向更高收入类别转移的国家也增加了出版物数量。
在欧盟和 EFTA 国家，2001 年至 2015 年期间，出版物总数有所增加，但原始研究文章的数量下降了 50%以上。
在 2001 年至 2015 年间，欧盟和 EFTA 国家的出版物数量增加，而原始文章数量减少。德国发表的文章最多，但丹麦每一位麻醉师和每百万居民的出版物数量最多，并且每篇文章的影响因子也最高。
