“…A lack of journals in which to publish global emergency care research can also limit the dissemination of research findings . The number of journals publishing global emergency care research continues to grow, but more journals are needed . In the short term, this can be partially resolved if organizations commit to including an international research track during their conferences where researchers from different countries can present their findings …”

As policy-makers increasingly recognize emergency care to be a global health priority, the need for highquality clinical and translational research in this area continues to grow. As part of the proceedings of the 2013 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, this article discusses the importance of: 1) including clinical and translational research in the initial emergency care development plan, 2) defining the burden of acute disease and the barriers to conducting research in resource-limited settings, 3) assessing the appropriateness and effectiveness of local and global acute care guidelines within the local context, 4) studying the local research infrastructure needs to understand the best methods to build a sustainable research infrastructure, and 5) studying the long-term effects of clinical research programs on health care systems.ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2013; 20:1272-1277 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine A s policy-makers increasingly recognize emergency care to be a global health priority, the need for high-quality clinical and translational research in emergency care continues to grow. Often, when developing emergency care programs in resource-limited settings, the inclination is to focus on clinical and educational services given the relative lack of resources and personnel. However, clinical and translational research must also be seen as critical to the successful development of a sustainable emergency care infrastructure. 1 IMPORTANCE OF CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH IN GLOBAL HEALTH AND EMERGENCY CAREConcurrent development of a research infrastructure within the emergency care system will serve to enhance care delivery and sustainability. As the initial focus is on improving emergency care, it is important to recognize that research is necessary to inform clinical care delivery. Just as the adult literature does not always translate to children, treatments or care delivery paradigms

“…As in past years, the 26 articles selected for review span a broad diversity of topics, testifying to the incredible breadth of IEM 6,33 . Within the diversity of topics this year, however, four major categories emerged that may serve to better define the boundaries of this continually evolving subspecialty of EM.…”

As the specialty of emergency medicine (EM) continues to evolve in countries around the world, and as interest in international emergency medicine (IEM) continues to grow within the United States, the IEM Literature Review Group recognizes a need for a high-quality, consolidated, and easily accessible evidence base of literature. In response to that need, the group created an annual publication that strives to provide readers with access to the highest quality and most relevant IEM research. This publication represents our fourth annual review, covering the top 26 IEM research articles published in 2008. Articles were selected for the review according to explicit, predetermined criteria that include both methodologic quality and perceived impact of the research. It is our hope that this annual review will act as a forum for disseminating best practices while also stimulating further research in the field of IEM.

“…The Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review (GEMLR) strives to ensure that emergency care providers have access to the most current and important research conducted on relevant topics around the world. GEMLR began 10 years ago in an attempt to identify and consolidate the relevant global emergency medicine (EM) literature into a format that is readily available to academics and practitioners . This year, our panel of seasoned reviewers includes physicians from Canada, China, Germany, Ghana, Singapore, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.…”

Objectives: The Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review (GEMLR) conducts an annual search of peer-reviewed and gray literature relevant to global emergency medicine (EM) to identify, review, and disseminate the most important new research in this field to a worldwide audience of academics and clinical practitioners.Methods: This year 6,376 articles written in six languages were identified by our search. These articles were distributed among 20 reviewers for initial screening based on their relevance to the field of global EM. An additional two reviewers searched the gray literature. A total of 477 articles were deemed appropriate by at least one reviewer and approved by the editor for formal scoring of overall quality and importance.Results: Of the 477 articles that met our predetermined inclusion criteria, 63% were categorized as emergency care in resource-limited settings, 13% as EM development, and 23% as disaster and humanitarian response. Twenty-five articles received scores of 17.5 or higher and were selected for formal summary and critique. Inter-rater reliability for two reviewers using our scoring system was good, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.657 (95% confidence interval = 0.589 to 0.713). Studies and reviews focusing on infectious diseases, trauma, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases common in resource-limited settings represented the majority of articles selected for final review.Conclusions: In 2014, there were fewer total articles, but a slightly higher absolute number of articles screening in for formal scoring, when compared to the 2013 review. The number of EM development articles decreased, while the number of disaster and humanitarian response articles increased. As in prior years, the majority of articles focused on infectious diseases and trauma.ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2015;22:976-984
