Emergency medicine questions on the entrance examination for medical internships and residency training in Spain: analysis of changes between 2010 and 2019.

Objectives: To investigate the presence of fundamental concepts in emergency medicine on the entrance examination taken by candidates for medical internships and residency training in Spain, and to identify changes over time.

Material And Methods: Longitudinal retrospective study. Three independent researchers reviewed questions on the entrance examinations of the past 10 years (2010-2019) and classified them as directly, indirectly, or not related to emergency medicine.

Presentations at 29 conferences of the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES) from 1988 to 2017: a descriptive analysis.

Objectives: To gain greater understanding of the development of emergency medicine in Spain by analyzing the presentations at conferences of the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES) over the past 30 years (1988-2017).

Material And Methods: We examined the programs of all SEMES conferences and described the characteristics of both presentations and presenters. We also analyzed changes occurring between 1988 and 2017 of some of the characteristics observed.

[Scientific publication output of Spanish emergency physicians from 2005 to 2014: a comparative study].

Objectives: To analyze the research output of Spanish emergency physicians between 2005 and 2014 and to compare it to their output in the previous 10-year period (1995-2004) as well as to that of emergency physicians in other countries and Spanish physicians in other specialties.

Material And Methods: Original articles indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science were included. Documents from Spanish emergency physicians were identified by combining the word Spain and any other search term identifying an emergency service or unit in Spain.

[Analysis of Spanish research collaboration in emergency medicine: 2010-2014].

Objectives: To describe the structure of the Spanish emergency medicine research network or networks, researchers' roles, and patterns of collaboration between hospitals.

Material And Methods: The search for publications was carried out in the SCOPUS database for the 5-year period of 2010 to 2014. We used network analysis software to map ties between researchers and hospitals that had established at least 5 and 10 relationships, respectively, during the period under study.

[Analysis of highly cited articles published in Emergencias].

A journal is generally considered to be of higher quality to the extent that it publishes articles that are cited. A journal's articles are not all cited equally, however; rather, citations of only a select group of titles accounts for most of a journal's impact factor. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of Emergencias's most highly cited articles and compare their impact to that of papers by other authors in Spain, in Spanish, and internationally in the field of emergency medicine.

[Spanish doctoral theses in emergency medicine (1978-2013)].

Objectives: To quantitatively analyze the production of Spanish doctoral theses in emergency medicine.

Material And Methods: Quantitative synthesis of productivity indicators for 214 doctoral theses in emergency medicine found in the database (TESEO) for Spanish universities from 1978 to 2013. We processed the data in 3 ways as follows: compilation of descriptive statistics, regression analysis (correlation coefficients of determination), and modeling of linear trend (time-series analysis).
