Assessing the level of evidence in the orthopaedic literature, 2013-2018: a review of 3449 articles in leading orthopaedic journals.

Conclusions: Based on our results we cannot validate the findings of previous studies as we found the overall LOE of both trauma and nontrauma orthopaedic literature has decreased in recent years. JBJS-Am published a greater percentage of high-level studies than did JOT and CORR. Although the number and percentage of high-level studies published in JOT increased during the study period, it still lagged behind JBJS-Am and CORR. PMID: 32467732 [PubMed]
