Surgical research in Australasia.

I R Gough, G A Balderson

    The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery
    |February 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study analyzed surgical research trends from 1962-1978, finding stable productivity overall but shifts in focus. Tumor immunology and microsurgery gained interest, while cardiovascular and transplantation research declined.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical research
    • Immunology
    • Cardiovascular research
    • Oncology
    • Metabolism/Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Analysis of 642 papers presented to the Surgical Research Society of Australasia from 1962 to 1978.
    • Examination of research productivity trends over an 16-year period.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the trends in surgical research productivity and focus areas.
    • To identify shifts in scientific disciplines and body systems investigated in surgical research.

    Main Methods:

    • Bibliometric analysis of published papers.
    • Categorization of research by body system and scientific discipline.
    • Trend analysis of research interest over time.

    Main Results:

    • Overall research productivity remained relatively stable.
    • Increasing interest observed in tumor immunology, education, and microsurgery.
    • Decreasing interest noted in transplantation immunology and cardiovascular research.
    • Gastrointestinal (27%), cardiovascular (21%), and genitourinary (17%) systems were most investigated.
    • Metabolism/biochemistry (22%), physiological measurement (17%), and immunology (10%) were dominant disciplines.
    • Controlled clinical trials comprised less than 3% of papers.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical research demonstrated evolving interests, with a rise in immunology and microsurgery.
    • Established fields like gastrointestinal and cardiovascular research maintained significant focus.
    • The limited number of controlled clinical trials suggests a need for more evidence-based research.
