Abstract

Trauma clinical databases have huge amount of information about patients and their diseases. Trauma injuries are responsible for the cause of 10% of deaths worldwide. The successful development of trauma systems, including the use of trauma registries & administrative databases, played a significant role in reducing mortality and disabilities due to injuries resulted from trauma during the last few decades. Our hypothesis was that the usage of trauma clinical databases would have increased in orthopaedic surgery research. According to the literature, most of the journal articles are published by using United states databases and they are available in PubMed. As a sample, most popular 9 databases in United states were analyzed. In order to check whether the hypothesis is correct or not, research journal articles in PubMed were analyzed. PubMed was used to find the journal articles from 1990 to 2017 by using the names (or abbreviation) of the databases as search terms. We activated the filter option of the PubMed search engine during the journal articles searching period. We set the article type as journal article and publication date as 1990/01/01 to 2017/12/31.Human species was used by removing the other animals? category. The results of this study confirmed the hypothesis that database use would have increased in orthopaedic surgery research in the defined study period. Between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2007, fewer articles using databases could be identified, whereas between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2017, database use increased significantly. These findings conclude that the clinical databases use in the orthopaedic literature. The orthopaedic trauma clinical databases allow for evaluating current trends of adverse events in selected surgical specialties. However, variables specific to orthopaedic surgery, such as open versus closed injury, are needed to improve the quality of the results. Moreover, the data in the trauma clinical databases can be used to take decisions and testing of the biomedical devices such as orthopaedic cutting guides, External bone fracture fixators?etc.
