| Abstract |
Clinical research in the area of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has shown substantial growth during the last decade. This was accompanied by the establishment of a wide range of outcome measures used to address the demands of clinical studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome measures reported by highly cited level I trials in ACL research and identify factors influencing citation metrics. The database of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) was utilized to screen journals under the subject categories "Orthopaedics", "Sports Sciences", "Radiology" and "General medicine" for the 50 most cited level I ACL trials based on predefined inclusion criteria. Metadata, citation metrics and outcome measures were extracted for each article. Frequencies of reported outcome measures were calculated, and a multiple linear regression model applied to identify factors influencing citation metrics. Two independent outcome measures demonstrated an influence on acquisition of citations including: 1-report of the pivot-shift test and 2-inclusion of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) score. Furthermore, highly cited ACL trials frequently reported KT-1000 measures of anterior translation, range of motion (ROM), graft failure, Lysholm, Tegner and subjective International Knee Documentation (IKDC) scores. This analysis reflects on the outcome measures utilized in highly cited level I trials impacting the field of ACL research. It also identifies factors likely to influence acquisition of citations. This is of both clinical and academic relevance when choosing appropriate measures for post-operative outcome evaluation after ACL surgery. I. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 October 2016.
All research outputs
#14,737,253
of 22,893,031 outputs
Outputs from Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy
#1,685
of 2,655 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#189,744
of 319,861 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy
#24
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,893,031 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,655 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,861 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
