Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
With the rise of minimally invasive and catheter-based interventions, traditional open-heart surgical techniques are receiving less emphasis in the journal. The focus has shifted towards less invasive approaches that offer quicker recovery and fewer complications. - Basic Science Research:
There seems to be a declining trend in basic science research related to pediatric cardiology. The journal is increasingly prioritizing clinical studies and translational research that have immediate implications for patient care. - Longitudinal Studies on Rare Congenital Anomalies:
While still important, there appears to be a decrease in the publication of longitudinal studies specifically targeting rare congenital anomalies. This shift may be due to the increasing complexity of such studies and the need for larger collaborative research efforts. - Focus on Single-Center Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in the publication of single-center studies. The journal is favoring multicenter collaborations that provide broader insights and more generalizable findings across diverse patient populations.
