美国作者在医学期刊上发表文章的比例下降，这使得研究人员确定1980年至2000年期间美国作者对三大医学期刊的贡献是否发生了变化。根据各自的影响因素，选择Pain，Anesthesiology和Anesthesia & Analgesia期刊进行评估。对1980、1985、1990、1995和2000年发表的所有临床研究和基础科学研究进行了评价。每篇文章的主要作者的原籍国由两名研究者确定。卡方和最小二乘线性回归分析用于确定出版物来源（美国或国外）和出版年份之间的关联。在1980年至2000年期间，主要麻醉专业期刊中美国出版物的比例有所下降，因为国外出版物的增加率与该时期期刊中出版物总数的增加不成比例。本研究未确定美国作者麻醉相关出版物发生变化的原因。作者推测，这涉及许多因素，包括由于经济限制而越来越重视临床护理而不是研究，美国在领先专业期刊以外的期刊上发表文章，以及国外投稿质量的提高。
Adecline in the proportion of articles published by American authors in medical journals has led researchers to ascertain whether there was a change in contributions of authors from the United States to the three major medical journals between 1980 and 2000. The journals Pain, Anesthesiology, and Anesthesia & Analgesia were selected for evaluation based on their respective impact factors. All clinical studies and basic science investigations published in the years 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000 were evaluated. The country of origin of the lead author of each article was determined by two of the investigators. Chi-square and least squares linear regression analyses were used to ascertain associations between the source of publication (United States or abroad) and year of publication. The proportion of American publications in the leading anesthesia specialty journals was found to be decreasing during the 1980 to 2000 period, because of an increase in the rate of publication from abroad that is disproportionate to the increase in the total number of publications in the journals during that time. The reasons for changes in anesthesia-related publications by American authors were not established by this study. The authors speculate that numerous factors are involved, including an increased emphasis on clinical care over research because of economic constraints, American publication in journals other than the leading specialty journals, and the increase in the quality of submissions from abroad.
