Abstract
Overall, average LOE remained relatively consistent between 2012 and 2016, with most abstracts classified as level III or level IV. There was a gradual, albeit minor, increase in the proportion of level I and level II evidence in 2015 and 2016, potentially indicating the increasing commitment to producing and disseminating high-level research in vascular surgery. Furthermore, a lack of a classification tool specific to vascular surgery research occasionally presented a challenge in assigning LOE, perhaps indicating a need for such a tool in this specialty.
