The aim of this study was to quantify and assess the levels of
evidence of research and review articles published in professional Physical and
Rehabilitation Medicine journals with international circulations. DESIGN:
Quantitative analysis of articles published in Physical and Rehabilitation
Medicine journals. METHODS: Selected articles from 7 Physical and Rehabilitation
Medicine journals, published over a period of 6 years,were classified according
to their level of evidence. Differences in the mean number of each type of
article among journals and among years were analysed. RESULTS: A total of 5,451
articles were included in this study,of which 636 (11.7%) were randomized
controlled trials. Articles published with the highest frequency were those
classified as Level III (n = 2,424, 44.5%), whereas "systematic reviews"were the
least frequent (n = 164, 3.0%). Heterogeneity was found only in terms of
distribution over journals. CONCLUSION: The distribution of different types of
article in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine journals is similar to that in
other disciplines. No increase in articles with a high level of evidence was found in the selected journals over the period of study.
