Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.

Dr. Sajovic comparing ACL hamstring and patellar tendon autografts
64 patients scheduled to undergo reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures were randomized to receive either hamstring tendon autograft or patellar tendon autograft. The results from 11 year follow-up indicated that there were no significant differences between the two groups in regards to functional or pain outcomes.It was also found that there were no significant differences in rate of graft failures between the two groups. However, the patellar tendon autograft group had a higher prevalence of osteoarthritis at 11 years.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Porque é que este estudo era necessário agora?
ACL injuries are common sports injuries, often in the younger population. The return to sports, long life, and prevention of secondary osteoarthritis are of primary importance. The choice of graft is an important decision for both the patient and the surgeon. Controversies still exist about graft selection for primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This study evaluates the long 14-year outcomes with two most common autografts (hamstring tendon autograft or patellar tendon autograft) used in ACL repair.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
Does patellar tendon autograft lead to similar functional and pain outcomes in comparison to hamstring tendon autograft in patients with ACL ruptures at 11 year follow-up?
- preoperative versus postoperative Lysholm knee scores showed a significant improvement in both groups (p<0.001)
- a greater number of patients reported anterior knee pain during strenuous activities or in kneeling-squatting position in the patellar tendon autograft group in comparison to the hamstring tendon autograft group (p=0.255)
- positive pivot-shift test (1 ) was significantly more frequent in the PT group (p=0.036)
- no significant differences in Short Form-36 or KT-1000 arthrometer laxity testing scores were observed between the two groups (p>0.05)
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
Both interventions provided similar improvements in outcomes; however, it was found that the rate of osteoarthritis was significantly higher in the patellar tendon autograft group.
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
Similar long-term results could be obtained by using either hamstring tendon or patellar tendon autografts in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
