“…This is consistent with previous findings that clinical practice guideline development in the Philippines is still lacking in many areas including technical expertise, funds, and dissemination 54 . For countries of origin, the majority of the studies had local contributors but international collaborations were frequent, especially with other member countries of the International Federation for Emergency Medicine 51 . Most studies also came from just a few contributing institutions, which are all located in Metro Manila.…”

“…In this study, we see an increased frequency and volume of publications since the Philippine College of Emergency Medicine and Acute Care (PCEMAC) and the Philippine Society of Emergency Care Physicians merged to form the PCEM in 2009 50 . This is in line with trends that show growth in emergency medicine literature globally 51–53 . However, the number of published works coming from the Philippines is still significantly behind that of other countries.…”

“…Despite the proximity, the Philippines is sorely behind on emergency medicine research when compared to its Southeast Asian peers like Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, which were identified as leaders in emergency medicine publications in the region. 51 In terms of study design, more than half of the studies were observational or descriptive in nature and case reports were the third most common. Reviews, clinical guidelines, and experimental studies were seldom published.…”

ObjectivesIn this review, we aim to synthesize the current emergency medicine literature in the Philippines in order to determine the depth of research available in the country while delineating the gaps, helping to provide focus to future research in the field.MethodsA literature review was done using 4 databases to identify emergency medicine studies in the Philippines. To explore the research trends among eligible studies, data on study type, countries, and institutions involved as well as study themes were collected and described.ResultsA total of 845 studies were screened, and 43 were included in this review. Results show that only 25% of emergency medicine studies were published before 2015. Most studies were observational (37.2%) or descriptive (37.2%) in nature with the University of the Philippines/Philippine General Hospital being the most common contributing institution (17.4%). Metro Manila was the most common study site with more than half of studies conducted in the area. Lastly, among the variety of study disciplines, disaster medicine was the most frequent topic comprising 30.2% of studies reviewed.ConclusionsCompared to the global scene, Philippine emergency medicine research still has a long way to go. This study was able to provide a landscape of the current literature and highlight the study trends. Further, the findings here emphasize the need to expand the scope of emergency medicine studies in the country as it is still a young and growing field with studies tending to cluster around just a small number of institutions and regions.

“…9,10 In Hong Kong, however, the number of published papers had declined from 2009 to 2018 despite a growing local emergency medicine community. 7 The ever-increasing pressure from frontline clinical work and other competing priorities in our emergency departments may have chipped away enthusiasm in research. 11 The newly established Research Office of the Hong Kong College of Emergency Medicine represents a revitalised initiative to support local emergency department research through proactive engagement with young researchers and financial support.…”
