Chi-square Analysis

45.1K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Bibliometrics

Background:

  • Microsurgery has advanced significantly since the invention of the surgical microscope.
  • There is a need to identify seminal works in the field of microsurgery.
  • This study performs a citation analysis to find the most impactful microsurgery articles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the most highly cited clinical and basic science articles in microsurgery.
  • To analyze citation trends in plastic surgery literature.
  • To establish a foundation of core knowledge for plastic surgery trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Citation analysis was conducted using Thomson/Reuters web of knowledge.
  • The study focused on five prominent plastic surgery journals.
  • Articles were ranked by total citations and citations per year.

Main Results:

  • The top 50 most cited clinical and basic science articles were identified.
  • Clinical articles focused on head and neck defects (30%) and perforator/musculocutaneous flaps (20% each).
  • Basic science articles included 27 animal and 21 cadaveric studies.

Conclusions:

  • Highly cited microsurgery articles mirror educational and clinical trends.
  • Identifying these key articles can inform plastic surgery training curricula.
  • This foundational knowledge is crucial for aspiring plastic surgeons.
