Peer Reviewed Publications (n=146)

List of journal titles in which the network has published and citation results

The network has published its research in a total of 44 different peer-reviewed scientific journals. These journals comprise a wide range of scientific disciplines. 

The Texas Dental Journal and Northwest Dentistry also have asked to re-publish several network articles. However, we do not count these as peer-reviewed publications; instead we include them in the list of non-peer-reviewed articles. 

The network uses the NIH iCite tool to estimate mean citations per year, overall and by study, and Relative Citation Ratios (RCR). The ICite tool uses PMID numbers to estimate the ratio of an article’s citation rate to its expected citation rate, adjusting for the average and expected citation rates for the field for equivalent time periods.  We provide an Appendix with RCR results for each network manuscript.  The RCR results are updated annually.

Two tables accompany this article. The first table shows predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics of persons in the sample, by race. The second table shows a “parsimonious” regression of receipt of extraction or root canal treatment during follow-up, in which only two variables (worst periodontal attachment loss and the CHOICE variable) are modeled as predictors of this outcome. The model fit of this regression model (Model 3 in the table labeled A2) is statistically the same as the model fit in Model 2 of the same table.
