To identify and evaluate the top 50 most-cited articles pertaining to SLAP tears.
The ISI Web of Knowledge database was used to conduct a query for articles pertaining to SLAP tears. Our query was conducted in April 2020 with multiple Boolean operative combinations performed by 2 independent reviewers. Articles on the final list were further reviewed to extract the following data: manuscript title, first author, total citation count, year of publication, citation density since publication, current citation rate since 2013, journal, country of origin, and level of evidence.
Our initial search yielded 2,597 articles. Within this cohort, the top 50 publications pertaining to SLAP tears were identified that met our search criteria. The top article was cited 802 times while the 50th ranked article was cited 46 times. The average number of citations per publication was 131, whereas the average citation density since year of publication was 7.3. No strong correlations were found between citation density and year published. Twelve journals published articles pertaining to SLAP tears, with accounting for the greatest number (15 articles, 30%). Most articles were graded with a level of evidence (LOE) of IV (n = 24, 48%), followed by review articles without LOE (n = 8, 16%). Only 2 articles achieved an LOE of I (4%). Articles typically addressed the arthroscopic management (n = 11, 22%), whereas anatomy/classification (n =10, 20%), and outcomes (n = 9, 18%) also were reported.
This review provides a quantitative analysis of the most-referenced literature pertaining to SLAP tears. This body of knowledge helps surgeons search for literature regarding these injuries and identify trends regarding SLAP tear research.
This research provides practitioners with an easily accessible and comprehensive collection of the major contributions regarding SLAP tears and offers insight into future areas for research.
识别和评估关于肩袖上盂唇前后部（SLAP）损伤的引用次数排名前50的文章。
使用科学网（ISI）知识数据库查询有关SLAP损伤的文章。我们的查询于2020年4月进行，由2名独立评审员进行多次布尔运算组合。对最终列表中的文章进一步审查以提取以下数据：稿件标题、第一作者、总引用次数、发表年份、自发表以来的引用密度、自2013年以来的当前引用率、期刊、原产国和证据水平。
我们的初步搜索产生了2597篇文章。在这个队列中，确定了符合我们搜索标准的关于SLAP损伤的前50篇出版物。排名第一的文章被引用了802次，而排名第50的文章被引用了46次。每份出版物的平均引用次数为131次，而自发表年份以来的平均引用密度为7.3次。未发现引用密度与发表年份之间有强相关性。12种期刊发表了有关SLAP损伤的文章，其中《[期刊名称]》发表的文章数量最多（15篇，占30%）。大多数文章的证据水平（LOE）为IV级（n = 24，占48%），其次是无LOE的综述文章（n = 8，占16%）。只有2篇文章的LOE为I级（4%）。文章通常涉及关节镜治疗（n = 11，占22%），而解剖学/分类（n = 10，占20%）和治疗结果（n = 9, 占18%）也有报道。
本综述提供了对关于SLAP损伤的最常被引用文献的定量分析。这些知识有助于外科医生搜索有关这些损伤的文献，并确定SLAP损伤研究的趋势。
本研究为从业者提供了一个易于获取且全面的关于SLAP损伤的主要贡献的集合，并为未来的研究领域提供了见解。
