Abstract

Purpose: The Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) proposed a ventral hernia grading guideline, primarily supported by expert opinion, recommending biologic mesh placement in high-risk patients. We investigated the relationship between this industry-sponsored guideline and discourse around ventral hernia repair (VHR).

Methods: Medline platform from Web of Science's database identified publications "pre-VHWG"(1999-01-01 to 2009-12-31), and "post-VHWG"(2010-01-01 to 2020-12-31) describing VHR and complications or recurrence of VHR with the following comorbidities: COPD, smoking, diabetes, immunosuppression, or obesity. Poisson regression analyzed keyword frequency over time using logarithmically transformed data.

Results: Of 1291 VHR publications identified pre-VHWG and 3041 publications identified post-VHWG, 172 (13.3%) and 642 (21.1%) publications respectively included prespecified keywords. The keyword groups "biologic"(IRR 3.39,95%CI1.34-11.4,p = 0.022) and "comorbid"(IRR 1.95, 95%CI1.09-3.74,p = 0.033) significantly increased with frequency after publication of the VHWG.

Conclusion: The VHWG publication likely contributed to a focus on comorbidities and biologic mesh in the ensuing literature within the field of VHR.

腹股沟疝工作组出版物的影响：文献计量分析。

目的：腹股沟疝工作组（VHWG）提出了一项腹股沟疝分级指南，建议在高风险患者中放置生物网片，该指南主要得到了专家意见的支持。我们调查了这一行业赞助的指南与围绕腹股沟疝修补术（VHR）的讨论之间的关系：科学网数据库的 Medline 平台识别了 "VHWG 前"（1999-01-01 至 2009-12-31）和 "VHWG 后"（2010-01-01 至 2020-12-31）的出版物，这些出版物描述了 VHR 和以下合并症的 VHR 并发症或复发：慢性阻塞性肺病、吸烟、糖尿病、免疫抑制或肥胖。使用对数转换数据对关键词频率随时间的变化进行泊松回归分析：在 VHWG 之前确定的 1291 篇 VHR 论文和 VHWG 之后确定的 3041 篇论文中，分别有 172 篇（13.3%）和 642 篇（21.1%）包含了预先指定的关键词。VHWG发表后，关键词组 "生物"（IRR 3.39，95%CI1.34-11.4，p = 0.022）和 "合并症"（IRR 1.95，95%CI1.09-3.74，p = 0.033）的出现频率显著增加：结论：VHWG 的发布可能促使 VHR 领域的后续文献关注合并症和生物网状结构。

期刊介绍： Hernia was founded in 1997 by Jean P. Chevrel with the purpose of promoting clinical studies and basic research as they apply to groin hernias and the abdominal wall . Since that time, a true revolution in the field of hernia studies has transformed the field from a ”simple” disease to one that is very specialized. While the majority of surgeries for primary inguinal and abdominal wall hernia are performed in hospitals worldwide, complex situations such as multi recurrences, complications, abdominal wall reconstructions and others are being studied and treated in specialist centers. As a result, major institutions and societies are creating specific parameters and criteria to better address the complexities of hernia surgery. Hernia is a journal written by surgeons who have made abdominal wall surgery their specific field of interest, but we will consider publishing content from any surgeon who wishes to improve the science of this field. The Journal aims to ensure that hernia surgery is safer and easier for surgeons as well as patients, and provides a forum to all surgeons in the exchange of new ideas, results, and important research that is the basis of professional activity.
