To use Google trends to explore differences in public interest among types of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) autografts, specifically quadriceps tendon, patellar tendon, and hamstring tendon autografts, between 2008 and 2019.
Data were obtained by querying Google Trends for key terms and phrases for online search data ranging from January 2008 to December 2019. Relative search volumes were created based on searches related to ACL reconstruction with comparative analysis generated for search terms related to quadriceps ACL, patellar tendon ACL, and hamstring ACL autografts. Statistical analysis included linear regression analysis, comparison of quarterly search volume trends over time, and comparison of cumulative annual search volumes for 2008 versus 2019.
Linear models for respective search terms were statistically significant for the quadriceps ( < .001) and patellar ( = .007) tendon autograft groups but not the hamstring group ( = .129). The quadriceps autograft group demonstrated a 12-year search volume trend change of 0.56, which was significantly greater than the hamstring (0.07; < .001) and patellar tendon (0.168; < .001) groups. There was no significant difference in the trend change between hamstring and patellar tendon groups ( = .20). Percent change in cumulative relative annual search volumes between 2008 and 2019 was 112% for the quadriceps tendon group, 12.9% for the hamstring group, and 18.6% for the patellar tendon group.
This study indicates a consistently increasing public interest in quadriceps tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction. The quadriceps autograft group demonstrated a significantly greater 12-year online search volume, greater linear correlation, and larger percent change between 2008 and 2019 compared with patellar tendon or hamstring autograft groups.
Awareness of patient perceptions has value in informing shared decision-making, aligning patient expectations, and guiding areas of future research. Each of these has an impact on patient care. Being aware of patient interest and expectations is particularly important in areas with controversial or emerging research.
利用谷歌趋势探索2008年至2019年间公众对前交叉韧带（ACL）自体移植物类型，特别是股四头肌肌腱、髌腱和腘绳肌肌腱自体移植物的兴趣差异。
通过查询谷歌趋势获取2008年1月至2019年12月在线搜索数据的关键词和短语。基于与ACL重建相关的搜索创建相对搜索量，并对与股四头肌ACL、髌腱ACL和腘绳肌ACL自体移植物相关的搜索词进行比较分析。统计分析包括线性回归分析、随时间的季度搜索量趋势比较以及2008年与2019年的年度累计搜索量比较。
股四头肌（P<0.001）和髌腱（P = 0.007）自体移植物组各自搜索词的线性模型具有统计学意义，而腘绳肌组无统计学意义（P = 0.129）。股四头肌自体移植物组显示12年搜索量趋势变化为0.56，显著大于腘绳肌组（0.07；P<0.001）和髌腱组（0.168；P<0.001）。腘绳肌组和髌腱组之间的趋势变化无显著差异（P = 0.20）。2008年至2019年间，股四头肌肌腱组年度累计相对搜索量的百分比变化为112%，腘绳肌组为12.9%，髌腱组为18.6%。
本研究表明公众对用于ACL重建的股四头肌肌腱自体移植物的兴趣持续增加。与髌腱或腘绳肌自体移植物组相比，股四头肌自体移植物组在2008年至2019年间显示出显著更大的12年在线搜索量、更大的线性相关性和更大的百分比变化。
了解患者的认知对于共同决策、调整患者期望以及指导未来研究领域具有重要价值。这些方面均对患者护理产生影响。在存在争议或新兴研究的领域，了解患者的兴趣和期望尤为重要。
