Trending and Emerging
- Artificial Intelligence and Technology Integration:
An increasing number of studies are exploring the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in surgical planning and patient management, reflecting a trend towards technology-enhanced care. - Multidisciplinary Approaches to Care:
There is a growing emphasis on collaborative care models that involve input from various specialties, particularly in the management of complex cases involving systemic diseases and ocular conditions. - Telemedicine and Remote Consultations:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated interest in telemedicine, with research focusing on its feasibility and effectiveness in oculoplastic practice, indicating a shift towards more accessible patient care. - Personalized and Targeted Therapies:
Emerging research is focusing on personalized medicine approaches, particularly in treating conditions like thyroid eye disease, where targeted therapies are gaining traction. - Patient-Centered Outcomes Research:
An increased emphasis on studies that assess patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction highlights a trend towards prioritizing the patient's perspective in surgical decision-making and follow-up care.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
While foundational surgical techniques are still discussed, there is a noticeable decline in the publication of studies focused solely on traditional methods without incorporating innovative approaches or technology. - General Ophthalmology Topics:
Papers that cover broad ophthalmology topics unrelated to oculoplastic surgery are becoming less common, as the journal increasingly prioritizes content that is directly relevant to plastic and reconstructive surgery. - Single-Center Studies:
There is a gradual reduction in the number of single-center studies, with a preference shifting towards multicenter collaborations that provide more robust data and broader applicability. - Basic Pathophysiology Research:
Research focused solely on the basic pathophysiology of ocular diseases, without clinical implications or surgical relevance, is receiving less attention in favor of studies that directly inform surgical practice. - Historical Perspectives:
While historical reviews once held interest, there is a noticeable decline in their publication, as contemporary issues and innovations take precedence in the journal's focus.
