Evaluation of published research in a region provides insight into relevant aspects of clinical care and research priorities. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the type of critical care research published in the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) over a 10-year period.
During the study period (2007-2016), the search strategy revealed 4303 publications, of which 1537 were included in the analysis; studies were excluded for the following reasons: not critical care, conducted in non-EMR countries, editorials, case reports, in-vitro or animal studies, as well as those conducted in multiple countries and those that evaluated foreign military personal. Countries varied in the number of publications produced, ranging from none in Somalia to 620 in Iran. The majority of the studies were observational (78%), evaluated adults (73%), and the most common areas of research were infectious (29%) and respiratory (10%) diseases. Median sample size was 120 and the mean (SD) impact factor of the journals in which the articles were published was 1.02 (0.7).
对某一地区已发表的研究进行评估，有助于深入了解临床护理的相关方面以及研究重点。本研究旨在全面评估世界卫生组织东地中海区域（EMR）在10年期间发表的重症监护研究类型。
在研究期间（2007 - 2016年），检索策略共发现4303篇出版物，其中1537篇纳入分析；排除这些研究的原因如下：非重症监护研究、在非EMR国家开展的研究、社论、病例报告、体外或动物研究，以及在多个国家开展的研究和评估外国军事人员的研究。各国发表的出版物数量各不相同，从索马里的零篇到伊朗的620篇不等。大多数研究为观察性研究（78%），评估对象为成年人（73%），最常见的研究领域是传染病（29%）和呼吸系统疾病（10%）。样本量中位数为120，发表这些文章的期刊的平均（标准差）影响因子为1.02（0.7）。
