Open access (OA) publications are increasingly common in orthopaedic literature. However, whether OA publications are associated with increased readership or citations among total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) literature is unclear. We hypothesize that compared with non-OA status, OA status is associated with increased social media dissemination, and readership, but not with citation count. This study aimed to analyze social media attention, citations, readership, and cost of TAA OA and non-OA publications.
Using a PubMed query search, there were 368 publications from 81 journals, with 25% (91/368) being OA articles and 75% (277/368) non-OA articles from 2016 to 2023. We analyzed the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS), Mendeley readership score, and citations between OA vs non-OA articles. Citations and cost of OA articles were determined using an altered timeline and publisher's website, respectively. Subgroup analysis was performed among articles published in the top 5 TAA journals (Tables 2 and 3). Negative binomial regression was used while adjusting for days since publication. Significance was considered at <.05.
OA publication was associated with a larger mean AAS score (8.7 ± 37.0 vs 4.8 ± 26.3), Mendeley readership (42.4 ± 41.6 vs 34.9 ± 25.7), and Twitter mentions (4.6 ± 7.4 vs 3.3 ± 8.1), but not citations (19.7 ± 24.8 vs 20.3 ± 23.5) (Table 1).
TAA OA publications and top 5 journals were associated with significantly increased social media attention but not Mendeley readership or citation counts.
开放获取（OA）出版物在骨科文献中越来越普遍。然而，在全踝关节置换术（TAA）文献中，OA出版物是否与读者数量增加或引用次数增加相关尚不清楚。我们假设，与非OA状态相比，OA状态与社交媒体传播增加和读者数量增加相关，但与引用次数无关。本研究旨在分析TAA的OA和非OA出版物的社交媒体关注度、引用次数、读者数量和成本。
通过PubMed查询搜索，从81种期刊中筛选出368篇出版物，其中25%（91/368）为OA文章，75%（277/368）为2016年至2023年的非OA文章。我们分析了OA文章与非OA文章之间的Altmetric关注度评分（AAS）、Mendeley读者评分和引用次数。OA文章的引用次数和成本分别使用修改后的时间线和出版商网站确定。在前5种TAA期刊上发表的文章中进行亚组分析（表2和表3）。在调整发表天数的同时使用负二项回归。显著性水平设定为<0.05。
OA出版物的平均AAS评分更高（8.7±37.0对4.8±26.3）、Mendeley读者数量更多（42.4±41.6对34.9±25.7）以及Twitter提及次数更多（4.6±7.4对3.3±8.1），但引用次数无差异（19.7±24.8对20.3±23.5）（表1）。
TAA的OA出版物和前5种期刊与社交媒体关注度显著增加相关，但与Mendeley读者数量或引用次数无关。
