Cette étude a été identifiée comme étant potentiellement à fort impact.
L'indicateur High Impact de l'ENP, basé sur l'IA, estime l'influence qu'un article est susceptible d'avoir en intégrant des signaux provenant à la fois de la revue dans laquelle il est publié et du contenu scientifique de l'article lui-même.
Développé à l'aide d'un traitement du langage naturel de pointe, le modèle High Impact de l'ENP prédit avec plus de précision les futures citations d'une étude que le seul facteur d'impact de la revue.
Cela permet d'identifier plus tôt les recherches cliniquement significatives et aide les lecteurs à se concentrer sur les articles les plus susceptibles d'influencer les pratiques futures.

Dr. Sadoghi speaks on ACL injury prevention training programs
This meta-analysis identified 8 controlled studies that examined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to examine the effectiveness of ACL prevention programs and to determine if there is evidence for the "best" program, while assessing the quality of the current literature on ACL injury prevention. The pooled results showed that individuals who underwent ACL injury prevention programs had a 62% decrease in the risk of ACL rupture compared to the control group.
Were the search methods used to find evidence (original research) on the primary question or questions stated?
Was the search for evidence reasonably comprehensive?
Were the criteria used for deciding which studies to include in the overview reported?
Was the bias in the selection of studies avoided?
Were the criteria used for assessing the validity of the included studies reported?
Was the validity of all of the studies referred to in the text assessed with use of appropriate criteria (either in selecting the studies for inclusion or in analyzing the studies that were cited)?
Were the methods used to combine the findings of the relevant studies (to reach a conclusion) reported?
Were the findings of the relevant studies combined appropriately relative to the primary question that the overview addresses?
Were the conclusions made by the author or authors supported by the data and or analysis reported in the overview?
How would you rate the scientific quality of this evidence?
Oui = 1
Incertain = 0,5
Non pertinent = 0
Non = 0

L'indice de fragilité est un outil qui aide à l'interprétation des résultats significatifs, en fournissant une mesure de la force d'un résultat. L'indice de fragilité représente le nombre d'événements consécutifs qui doivent être ajoutés à un résultat dichotomique pour que le résultat ne soit plus significatif. Un petit nombre représente un résultat plus faible et un grand nombre un résultat plus fort.
Pourquoi cette étude était-elle nécessaire maintenant ?
ACL tears are serious injuries that occur frequently in the United States and can incur millions of dollars annually. Having this injury may also predispose patients to osteoarthritis, leading to more pain and a reduced quality of life. Approximately 80% of ACL tears occur in non-contact situations, which suggests that preventative efforts may reduce ACL injuries. This meta-analysis identified 8 prospective, controlled studies on prevention programs for ACL injuries and examined whether ACL prevention programs actually reduce the risk of injury, and if there is a "best" program, and the validity of the findings.
Quelle était la principale question de recherche ?
Does the use of ACL injury prevention programs reduce the risk of ACL injuries and is there a optimal prevention program?
Quels sont les résultats importants ?
- The pooled risk ratio was 0.38 (95%CI, 0.20 to 0.72) which represented a 62% decrease in the risk of ACL rupture for the prevention group (P=0.003)
- The pooled risk ratio, when stratified by sex, was 0.48 for female athletes (95%CI, 0.26-0.89) and 0.15 for male athletes (95%CI, 0.08 to 0.28)
- In evaluating study quality, the mean Jadad score for the studies included was 1 point (95%CI, 0.43 to 1.57 points)
- Heterogeneity was significant between the studies used (p=0.011) with an I-squared index of 64.0%
- A "best" training program was unable to be determined due to the heterogeneity of the included studies
De quoi dois-je me souvenir en priorité ?
The results from this meta-analysis supports the use of ACL injury prevention programs, as it suggests a risk reduction of 52% in female athlete population and a risk reduction of 85% in the male athlete population. Quality of the studies involved were evaluated by the Jadad scoring system and was given a mean score of one point. An optimal prevention program was not determined due to the heterogeneity of the studies included.
Comment cela affectera-t-il les soins prodigués à mes patients ?
The results from this meta-analysis indicate that male and female athletes may find risk reduction in ACL injuries by participating in ACL injury prevention programs. Further studies are required to determine a specific type of prevention program that provides the most effective results.
