The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) holds annual educational meetings to highlight new advances in the field of shoulder and elbow surgery. This study aims to assess the academic metrics of lecturers, ICL instructors, and moderators at ASES annual meetings.
A review of selected presenters (lecturers, ICL instructors, and moderators) at ASES annual meetings from 2016 to 2022 was performed. Presentation topics were categorized into ten topic-specific content areas. Presenters' Hirsch index (H-index), number of topic-specific publications, and field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) were examined to assess academic metrics.
Overall, 348 presenters were evaluated. 76.6% of presentations were provided by physicians with at least 1 prior topic-specific publication. Lecturers and symposium moderators had the highest average proportion of presenters with previous topic-specific publications (81.5%), followed by ICL instructors (72.7%). The most commonly presented content topics included arthroplasty techniques (16.8%), followed by rotator cuff tears (15.9%) and surgical complications (12.4%). Infections-prophylaxis and treatment was the least presented topic (3.1%). Lecturers discussing infection held the highest average FWCI (2.55), while elbow injuries had the highest average H-index (59.6). ICL instructors discussing rotator cuffs had the highest average FWCI (4.7), while ICL instructors on biologics had the highest H-index (58.0). Symposium moderators on infection held the highest average FWCI (2.8), while those discussing nonclinical/orthopedic topics had the highest average H-index (55).
A high percentage of ASES presenters had previous topic-specific publications as well as distinguishable H-indices and FWCI. Speakers at ASES annual meetings are academically accomplished within the field of shoulder and elbow surgery.
美国肩肘外科医师学会（ASES）每年举办教育会议，以突出肩肘外科领域的新进展。本研究旨在评估ASES年会讲师、ICL教员和主持人的学术指标。
对2016年至2022年ASES年会的选定演讲者（讲师、ICL教员和主持人）进行回顾。演讲主题分为十个特定主题内容领域。检查演讲者的赫希指数（H指数）、特定主题出版物数量和领域加权引文影响（FWCI），以评估学术指标。
总体而言，对348名演讲者进行了评估。76.6%的演讲由至少有1篇先前特定主题出版物的医生提供。讲师和研讨会主持人中，有先前特定主题出版物的演讲者平均比例最高（81.5%），其次是ICL教员（72.7%）。最常出现的内容主题包括关节成形术技术（16.8%），其次是肩袖撕裂（15.9%）和手术并发症（12.4%）。感染的预防和治疗是出现最少的主题（3.1%）。讨论感染的讲师平均FWCI最高（2.55），而肘部损伤的平均H指数最高（59.6）。讨论肩袖的ICL教员平均FWCI最高（4.7），而生物制剂方面的ICL教员H指数最高（58.0）。讨论感染的研讨会主持人平均FWCI最高（2.8），而讨论非临床/骨科主题的主持人平均H指数最高（55）。
ASES的演讲者中有很大比例曾发表过特定主题的出版物，并且具有显著的H指数和FWCI。ASES年会的演讲者在肩肘外科领域学术造诣颇高。
