Abstract:
Back ground. In the last 20 years molecular biology has expanded the
horizons of medical re search including anaesthesia. Preoperative
identification of genetic disorders relevant to anaesthesia or increased
perioperative risk will be avail able in the near future using molecular
biology techniques. There has been a global in crease of such publications,
but the contributions from Germany, Switzerland and Austria are unknown.
Material and methods. An internet-based medline search was used to an a
lyse specific features such as year of publication, journal and origin of
molecular biology articles produced by German, Swiss and Austrian
anaesthesia institutions from 1988 to 2002. Results. During the study
period 121 articles from German institutions were published, 18 from
Switzerland and 5 from Austria, corresponding to 10%, 1.5% and 0.4%,
respectively, of global publications. In Germany the number of anaesthesia
publications with a molecular biology content has continuously in creased,
but in Switzerland and Austria the numbers have remained constant. The
majority of articles were published in high-impact non-anaesthesia journals.
Discussion and conclusion. The results of this study show the quantitative
development of molecular biology re search that has been done in
anaesthesia institutions in Germany, Switzerland and Austria from 1988 to
2002. A continuous increase of publications with a molecular biology con
tent occurred only in Germany.
