PubMed search for injury articles

Here is a link to a PubMed search that produces a list of injury-related articles in reverse chronological order. Each time you click on the link, a fresh (updated) search is run.

Method: Each article that is indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE is manually indexed with an average of a dozen or so Medical Subject Headings, drawn from a controlled vocabulary of more than 23,000 such terms (MeSH terms). The broadest MeSH term for injuries is accidents, and searching in PubMed with this MeSH term also captures narrower (more specific) terms such as accident prevention or accidents, traffic. The search strategy is constructed so that accidents is the major topic of the article, and the results are set to be limited to the 100+ "core clinical journals" that the National Library of Medicine has identified among the more than 4,600 journals that it indexes in PubMed/MEDLINE. It produces a long list, but the most recent papers always appear at the top. For a somewhat longer introduction to how PubMed works, see the introduction to my book. If you would like more specific preconstructed searches posted here, let me know.
