RELATION BETWEEN IMPACT FACTOR IN ORTHOPEDIC JOURNALS AND LEVEL OF EVIDENCE.

Abstract:

Objective:This study aims to assess the quality of articles published in the leading orthopedic surgery journals, by measuring the relation between the impact factor and the number studies with a high level of evidence. Methods:A literature review was performed of articles published in four previously selected journals. A score of journal evidence (RER - Relation between Randomized clinical trials and Systematic reviews) was calculated, considering the number of RCTs and SR published and the total number of full-text articles. Results:The selected journals were JBJS-Am, ASMJ, BJJ-Br and Arthroscopy, with Impact factors of 5.280, 4.362, 3.309 and 3.206 respectively in 2015. In the study, the RER Scores, in the same order, were 9.408, 6.153, 7.456 and 7.779. Conclusion:The journal JBJS-Am is the best available source of information on orthopedic surgery from this point of view. It has the highest Impact Factor and clearly the highest RER Score. On the other hand, we could conclude that the number of published RCT and good quality SR is very low, with less than 10% of all the articles. Level of evidence III, Analyses based on limited alternatives and costs, and poor estimates. Objetivo:Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a qualidade dos artigos publicados nos principais periódicos de cirurgia ortopédica, medindo a relação entre o fator de impacto e o número de estudos com alto nível de evidência. Métodos:Realizou-se a revisão de literatura com artigos publicados em quatro periódicos previamente selecionados. Um escore de evidência de periódicos (RER - Relação entre Ensaios Clínicos Randomizados e Revisões Sistemáticas) foi calculado, considerando-se o número de ECR e RS publicados e número total de artigos com textos completos. Resultados:Os periódicos selecionados tiveram o fator de impacto de 5.280, 4.362, 3.309 e 3.206 respectivamente para JBJS-Am, ASMJ, BJJ-Br e Arthroscopy no ano de 2015. No estudo, os escores RER foram, na mesma ordem, 9.408, 6.153, 7.456 e 7.779. Conclusão:A revista JBJS-Am é a melhor fonte disponível de informações sobre cirurgia ortopédica deste ponto de vista. Tem o maior fator de impacto e claramente o maior escore RER. Por outro lado, pudemos concluir que o número de ECR e RS publicados de boa qualidade é muito baixo, com menos de 10% do total de artigos. Nível de Evidência III, Análises baseadas em alternativas e custos limitados, e estimativas ruins.
