    Medical photography: principles for orthopedics
    (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-01-01) Uzun, Metin; Bulbul, Murat; Toker, Serdar; Beksac, Burak; Kara, Adnan
    Background: Medical photography is used clinically for patient evaluation, treatment decisions, and scientific documentation. Although standards for medical photography exist in many branches of medicine, we have not encountered such criteria in publications in the area of orthopedics. Purpose: This study aims to (1) assess the quality of medical images used in an orthopedic publication and (2) to propose standards for medical photography in this area. Methods: Clinical photographs were reviewed from all issues of a journal published between the years 2008 and 2012. A quality of clinical images was developed based on the criteria published for the specialties of dermatology and cosmetic surgery. All images were reviewed on the appropriateness of background, patient preparation, and technique. Results: In this study, only 44.9\% of clinical images in an orthopedic publication adhered to the proposed conventions. Conclusions: Standards have not been established for medical photography in orthopedics as in other specialty areas. Our results suggest that photographic clinical information in orthopedic publications may be limited by inadequate presentation. We propose that formal conventions for clinical images should be established.

    Stronger Together in Lab: Multi-Center and Laboratory Spine Studies Are Closer to Publication than Single-Center and Clinical Spine Studies: Snapshot of Annual Meetings of the Spine Society of Europe
    (KOREAN SOC SPINE SURGERY, 2020-01-01) Ozcan-Eksi, Emel Ece; Canbolat, Cagri; Ayhan, Selim; Eksi, Murat Sakir
    Study Design: This is a cross-sectional study of literature databases. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the predictive factors for the publication rates of spine studies. Overview of Literature: Spine research has garnered worldwide interest due to the increased number of spinal disorders in aging population. Methods: We evaluated the abstracts presented at the annual meetings of the Spine Society of Europe between 2009 and 2012. Additionally, we recorded presentation categories, study designs, research types, random assignments of the subjects, single- or multicenter-based methodologies, and significance of the results. Results: We evaluated 965 abstracts, 53.5\% of which were published in peer-reviewed journals. Publication rates were significantly higher for oral presentations (62.9\%) and prospective studies (61.3\%) as compared to the poster presentations (46.7\%) and retrospective studies (44.2\%), respectively ( p <0.001). Clinical studies contributed to about 86.1\% of the published abstracts. However, publication rates were significantly higher for laboratory studies as compared to clinical studies (70.1\% vs. 50.8\%, p <0.001). Multi-center studies were closer to publication than single-center studies (67.1\% vs. 52.2\%, p=0.009). Our study demonstrated that multi-center studies (odds ratio, 1.81
