Bibliometrics is defined as the study of statistical and mathematical methods used to quantitatively analyze scientific literature. The application bibliometrics in neurosurgery continues evolve.To calculate a number publication productivity measures for almost all neurosurgical residents departments within North America. These were correlated with survey results on educational environment residency programs.During May June 2017, data collected from departmental websites Scopus compose...
OBJECTIVE Despite established risk factors, abusive head trauma (AHT) continues to plague our communities. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA), depicted as areas of hypodensity on CT scans or diffusion restriction MR images, is a well-known consequence AHT, but its etiology remains elusive. The authors hypothesize that CVA, in isolation conjunction with other intracranial injuries, compounds the severity child’s injury, which turn leads greater health care utilization, including surgical...
Established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Open Payments Database (OPD) has reported industry payments to physicians since August 2013.To evaluate frequency, type, value of received academic neurosurgeons in United States over a 5-yr period (2014-2018).The OPD was queried attending from all neurosurgical training programs (n = 116). Information analyzed entire cohort as well comparative subgroup analyses, such career stage, subspecialty, geographic location.Of...
The objective of this study was to analyze the publication output postgraduate pediatric neurosurgery fellows for a 10-year period as well identify 25 individual highly productive neurosurgeons. correlation between academic productivity and site fellowship training studied.
Abusive head trauma (AHT) may result in costly, long-term sequelae.To describe the burden of AHT on hospital system within first year injury.Single institution retrospective evaluation cases from January 2009 to August 2016. Demographic, clinical (including injury severity graded I-III), and charge data associated with both initial return visits 1 yr were extracted.A total 278 identified: 60% male, 76% infant, 54% African-American. Of these cases, 162 (60%) returned year, resulting 676 (an...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Length of stay (LOS) is now a generally accepted clinical metric within the USA. An extended LOS following an elective craniotomy can significantly impact overall costs. Few studies have evaluated predictors in pediatric neurosurgical patients. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim study was to determine hospital children and young adults. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> All patients adults undergoing between...
The spectrum of injury severity for abusive head trauma (AHT) is broad, but outcomes are unequivocally worse than accidental trauma. There few publications that analyze different AHT.To determine variables associated with AHT.Patients were identified using our AHT database. Three different, not mutually exclusive, modeled: (1) death or hemispheric stroke (diffuse loss grey-white differentiation); (2) stroke(s) any size; and (3) need a neurosurgical operation. Demographic clinical collected...
