“…It must be noted that the mean Altmetric score for all articles in Academic EM is not zero, but just for the articles with the most citations and included in this particular analysis. The mean (±SD) Altmetric score for the four citations in the Academic Emergency Medicine “Hot‐off‐the‐press” initiative is 13.0 (±3.6) . Social media metrics have been criticized for being too heterogeneous and may not capture discipline specific methods of disseminating knowledge in a field .…”

“…A large proportion of current EM residents are utilizing nontraditional methods such as podcasts, blogs, and Internet searching to complement their postgraduate medical education . In response to this, initiatives such as the “Hot‐off‐the‐press” collaborative initiative between this journal and the Skeptics Guide to Emergency Medicine (SGEM) podcast have been developed to facilitate high‐quality dissemination and knowledge translation . Other EM journals and resources applicable to the specialty have also initiated podcasts to facilitate dissemination and knowledge translation ( Annals of Emergency Medicine, Emergency Medicine Journal, New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, British Medical Journal, Cochrane Collaboration ).…”

Objectives: Alternative-level metrics (Altmetrics) are a new method to assess the sharing and spread of scientific knowledge. The primary objective of this study was to describe the traditional metrics and Altmetric scores of the 50 most frequently cited articles published in emergency medicine (EM) journals. Since many articles related to EM are published in other journals, the secondary aim of this study was to describe the Altmetric scores of the most frequently cited articles relevant to EM in other biomedical journals.Methods: A structured search of the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science version of the Science Citation Index Expanded was conducted. The 200 most frequently cited articles in the top 10 EM journals (2011 Journal Citation Report) were identified. The 200 most frequently cited articles from the rest of the medical literature, matching a predefined list of keywords relevant to the specialty of EM, were identified. Two authors reviewed the lists of citations for relevance to EM and a consensus approach was used to arrive at the final lists of the top 50 cited articles. The Altmetric scores for the top 50 cited articles in EM and other journals were determined. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation were performed.Results: The highest Altmetric score for EM articles was 25.0; the mean (AESD) was 1.9 (AE5.0). The EM journal with the highest mean article Altmetric score was Resuscitation. The main clinical areas shared for articles from EM articles were trauma (mean AE SD = 11.0 AE 15.6, median = 11.0) and cardiac arrest (mean AE SD = 2.7 AE 5.8, median = 0). The highest Altmetric score for other journals was 176.0 (mean AE SD = 23.3 AE 40.8). The other journal with the highest mean article Altmetric score was the New England Journal of Medicine. The main clinical areas shared for articles were critical care (mean AE SD score = 36.5 AE 47.4, median = 36.5), sepsis (mean AE SD = 24.6 AE 48.8, median = 12.0), cardiology (mean AE SD = 19.2 AE 35.6, median = 7.0), and infectious diseases (mean AE SD = 17.0 AE 12.7, median = 17.0). Spearman correlation demonstrated weakly positive correlation between citation counts and Altmetric scores for EM articles and other journals.Conclusions: This study is the first analysis of Altmetric scores for the top cited articles in EM. We demonstrated that there is a mild correlation between citation counts and Altmetric scores for the top papers in EM and other biomedical journals. We also demonstrated that there is a gap between the sharing of the top articles in EM journals and those related to EM in other biomedical journals. Future research to explore this relationship and its temporal trends will benefit the understanding of the reach and dissemination of EM research within the scientific community and society in general.ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2016;23:251-268

“…6,7 In adults, IV ketamine bolus as an adjuvant to opioids has been shown safe, reduces time to pain control and reduces opioid use in the ED setting. [8][9][10][11] We therefore hypothesized that low-dose ketamine (LDK) 0.2 mg/kg used as an adjuvant to IV opioids in the management of SCD VOE pain in the paediatric ED would be safe, well tolerated, and would potentially decrease opioid usage.…”
