目的:SARTCORS数据库是IVF临床特异性关联数据的信息来源,提供美国(US)医学辅助生殖的累积活产率。这些数据用于制定最佳实践指南,为了研究,质量保证,以及辅助生殖技术的上市后监督。这里,我们试图调查当前研究重点的关键领域(高阶类别),发现ART研究的空白或服务不足的领域,并检查新型ART佐剂的潜在应用和影响,未来的数据收集,和分析需求。
方法:我们进行了系统评价(PRISMA指南),以量化SARTCORS数据库的独特输出指标。其中包括SART成员报告诊所:2004年至2021年的全长出版物和2015年至2021年的会议摘要,这是SARTCORS数据库在数据收集方面发生变革性变化的两个关键时间点。
结果:我们发现了2015年至2021年的206篇摘要,自2004年以来的189篇完整的同行评审出版物,这些出版物中列出了654位独特的作者。共有19种出版物具有很强的影响力,在撰写本文时获得了100多次引用。几个高阶类别,如子宫内膜异位症和输卵管性不孕症,出版物很少。从2015年到2021年,会议摘要到全长论文的转化率从15%到35%不等。
结论:通过分析SARTCORS数据库已经产生了大量文献。全长出版物逐年增加。一些主题领域,如子宫内膜异位症和输卵管性不孕症,可能代表性不足。会议摘要向全长出版物的转化一直很低,这表明可能需要更多的组织支持,以确保研究在方法上是合理的,并支持研究人员达到完整的出版状态。
OBJECTIVE: The SART CORS database is an informative source of IVF clinic-specific linked data that provides cumulative live birth rates from medically assisted reproduction in the United States (US). These data are used to develop best practice guidelines, for research, quality assurance, and post-market surveillance of assisted reproductive technologies. Here, we sought to investigate the key areas of current research focus (higher-order categories), discover gaps or underserved areas of ART research, and examine the potential application and impact of newer ART adjuvants, future data collection, and analysis needs.
METHODS: We conducted a systematic review (PRISMA guidelines) to quantify unique output metrics of the SART CORS database. Included were SART member reporting clinics: full-length publications from 2004 to 2021 and conference abstracts from 2015 to 2021, the two key timepoints when the SART CORS database underwent transformative shifts in data collection.
RESULTS: We found 206 abstracts presented from 2015 to 2021, 189 full-length peer-reviewed publications since 2004, with 654 unique authors listed on these publications. A total of 19 publications have been highly impactful, garnering over 100 citations at the time of writing. Several higher-order categories, such as endometriosis and tubal infertility, have few publications. The conversion of conference abstracts to full-length papers ranged from 15 to 35% from 2015 to 2021.
CONCLUSIONS: A substantial body of literature has been generated by analyzing the SART CORS database. Full-length publications have increased year over year. Some topic areas, such as endometriosis and tubal infertility, may be underrepresented. Conversion of conference abstracts to full-length publications has been low, indicating that more organizational support may be needed to ensure that research is methodologically sound and researchers supported to reach full publication status.
