“…Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, a substantial body of COVID-19 medical literature has been generated [ 3 ]. This growing publication of research related to COVID-19 was of importance to disseminate knowledge and experience [ 4 ]. On the other hand, Journal editors and staff face a challenge between the need for rapid dissemination of timely clinical and research findings and rigorous scientific review as the workload increases [ 5 ].…”

Introduction The aim of this study is to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative contribution of Emergency Medicine (EM) journals to scientific literature on COVID-19 and compare the journals in terms of publications. Material and methods We performed a comparison of top EM journals by hand-search in terms of COVID-19 publications and citations between January 1st and December 31st, 2020. Publications were also categorized according to research field, country and article types. Data were given as numbers and percentages. Results Among 18 EM journals, Resuscitation ranked in the first place and American Journal of Emergency Medicine ranked in the last place according to Impact Factor. In these journals, 512 (12.2%) articles related to COVID-19 were published. The American Journal of Emergency Medicine and Internal and Emergency Medicine published the greatest amount of publications related to COVID-19 ( n = 71). The American Journal of Emergency Medicine was also the leading journal in terms of “Total Citations to COVID-19 Articles” ( n = 1192). Western Journal of Emergency Medicine published the greatest proportion of COVID-19 articles (Total COVID-19 Articles/Total Articles = 0.3). World Journal of Emergency Surgery ranked in the first place in terms of citations per COVID-19 articles ( n = 33.2). The most common studied field was Effects of COVID-19 on the Health System ( n = 222). The US was the most productive country with 188 COVID-19 publications and 1411 citations to these publications, followed by Italy. Conclusion The contribution of EM journals to COVID-19 literature is controversial. “Effects of COVID-19 on the Health System” is the most studied field. “Clinical Properties, Ethical Issues and Treatment Methods” are neglected fields in EM journals.

“…La muestra final estuvo compuesta por ocho artículos (4,7,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), así: 63% correspondieron al año 2018 (4,7,11,12,14), 25% al año 2020 (10,13), y el 12% restante al año 2021 (15). En los hallazgos identificados, se destaca la descripción de los ocho principios éticos de Emanuel, donde la 'validez científica' fue el principio más descrito en la investigación de la persona en condición de vulnerabilidad (estado crítico), siendo abordado en el 64% de la muestra (4,7,10,12,15). A continuación, se describe el contenido de los artículos seleccionados en la revisión, organizados según cada principio ético involucrado y los resultados relevantes.…”

El paciente en estado crítico reviste una especial importancia al desarrollar investigaciones, debido a que ha perdido o visto reducida su autonomía. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar el uso de los principios éticos de Ezequiel J. Emanuel, como guía en el desarrollo de investigaciones en pacientes críticos. Se realizó una revisión integrativa en las bases de datos WoS, PUBMED, SCOPUS y SciELO, y se encontraron 545 artículos de los cuales ocho cumplieron con los criterios previamente definidos. En estos se identificó la descripción de los ocho principios de Emanuel, los cuales demostraron constituir un marco integral y sistemático de utilidad para orientar la conducta ética en la población analizada, siendo la ‘validez científica’ el principio más descrito en la investigación del paciente crítico, seguido del principio de ‘consentimiento informado’.

“…The sense of urgency for producing results, as well as the potential to influence the care of many patients, can change the perception of ethical standards. Despite desires to provide possible treatments to patients who may be critically unwell, maintaining standards for ethical research, including consent processes, remains vital [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Objectives The outcome of well-performed clinical research is essential for evidence-based patient management during pandemics. However, conducting clinical research amidst a pandemic requires researchers to balance clinical and research demands. We seek to understand the values, experiences, and beliefs of physicians working at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to inform clinical research planning. We aim to understand whether pandemic settings affect physician comfort with research practices, and how physician experiences shape their understanding of research in a pandemic setting. Methods A survey tool was adapted to evaluate familiarity and comfort with research during a pandemic. A cross-sectional, online questionnaire was distributed across Canadian research networks early in the COVID-19 outbreak. The survey was administered between March 11th and 17th, 2020, during a time of local transmission but prior to the surge of cases. We aimed to recruit into the survey physicians in infectious disease and critical care research networks across Canada. Results Of the 133 physician respondents, 131 (98%) considered it important to conduct clinical research during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents were more accepting of adaptations to the research process in during a pandemic compared to in a non-pandemic setting, including conducting research with deferred consent (χ2 = 8.941, 95% CI: -0.264, -0.085, p = 0.003), using non-identifiable observational data with a waiver of consent with a median score of 97 out of 100 (IQR: 79.25–100) vs median 87 out of 100 (IQR: 63–79) (95% CI: -12.43, 0.054, p = 0.052). The majority felt that research quality is not compromised during pandemics. Conclusions Physicians consider it important to conduct research during a pandemic, highlighting the need to expedite research activities in pandemic settings. Respondents were more accepting of adaptations to the research process for research conducted during a pandemic, compared to that conducted in its absence of a pandemic.
