Abstract
Trends in orthopedic research: An analysis of podium presentations at the AAOS annual meetings from 2008-2018
Highlights
Clinicians and researchers have experienced a significant change in research being published and presented over the last decade
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality and types of studies that have been accepted to Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting
The fundamental finding of this study is that the quality of research measured at the AAOS meeting is being maintained but is improving as measured by the Level of evidence (LOE)
Summary
Clinicians and researchers have experienced a significant change in research being published and presented over the last decade. Researchers have witnessed the evolution of medicine where quality, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of care is increasingly demanded, which may alter the focus of research studies in other ways [6,7,8] Some of these changes have been controversial as journals and professional organizations seek to navigate these new opportunities and present high-quality research. Designed primarily for tracking, insurance, coding, or billing purposes, state and national administrative databases of medical records have been made available for research purposes [1,3,5] These databases provide substantial health care data on large populations of patients and present a relatively efficient method for researchers to obtain a large sample size and conduct studies on a larger scale
