Results: One thousand five hundred and thirty-nine articles were identified with 134 orthopaedic trainees and 519 surgeons as authors. The publication rate for both trainees and surgeons was just over two in five. The majority of studies were of level three or four evidence (Oxford's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine guidelines). Only 5% of trainee papers were published without surgeons' co-authorship. Eighty-six percent of papers published by surgeons did not involve a trainee. The rates of trainees publishing with other trainees were low. Conclusion: Only 5% of trainee papers were published without surgeons' co-authorship, highlighting the importance of surgeon mentorship in developing trainee research capability. The 86% of papers published by surgeons without trainee co-authorship raises the question of missed mentoring opportunities. Low rates of trainee co-authorship highlight potential for trainees to work together to support each other's research efforts. There is scope for more studies involving higher levels of evidence. This paper raises discussion points and areas for further exploration in relation to AOA trainee research capability.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 10:05:02 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54414 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:51:13 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54779 Tue 12 Mar 2024 11:04:27 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:598 2 (OR 3.9; 95%CI 1.8-8.8), procedures with external fixation (OR 2.9; 95%CI 1.4-5.9), emergency surgery with motor-vehicle-retated trauma (OR 2.1; 95%CI 1.2-3.9), or duration of procedure > 2 h (OR 2.1; 95%CI 1.1-4.2) were independent risk factors for SSI. Lack of appropriate prophylaxis was of borderline significance (OR 3.2; 95%CI 0.9-11.1, P = 0.06). Among 76 patients with SSIs, 22 patients were discovered during postdischarge follow-up. These late SSIs had age as an additional risk factor (OR 2.8; 95%CI 1.1-7.2). Our data show that SSIs were frequent and differed widely by wound class. The NNIS risk index was predictive of SSI for this population. With a high number of motor vehicle accidents in Vietnam, the majority of orthopaedic operations are trauma related. Emergency surgery for injuries sustained in these accidents, and procedures with external fixation were especially prone to infections.]]> Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18916 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:13 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38354 Mon 30 Aug 2021 16:20:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51520 Fri 08 Sep 2023 12:02:44 AEST ]]>
