Google searches and medical publication trends since the 2014 US Food and Drug Administration position on power morcellation: Do these translate into patient awareness?

摘要

Objectives: Our primary objective was to assess patient awareness by observing Google Trends comparing search terms used in relation to morcellation rather than morcellation alone. Our secondary objective was to review trends and locations of publications on leiomyosarcoma and morcellation following the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) position statement.
