A Systematic Review of OR/MS Methods Applied to Orthopaedic Care Settings and Treatments

Overview

This is a repository of all the data and analysis code to reproduce all the plots and analysis for the paper 'Fractured systems: a literature review of OR/MS methods applied to orthopaedic care settings and treatments.' [1].

This repository is structured as follows:

LitReviewAnalysis/
	|--README.md	
	|--requirements.txt
	|--LiteratureTaxonomy.csv
	|--Analysis.ipynb
	|--plots/
		|--YearPublished.pdf
		|--JCRCategory.pdf
		...

To reproduce all plots in the paper, we used Python 3.9.7, install all the requirements in requirements.txt,open Analysis.ipynb and run every cell in order.

The file 'LiteratureTaxonomy.csv' contains information on the 492 papers analysed in the paper.

Installing Dependencies

The model is written in Python 3.9.7, with the requirements in requirements.txt.

To create a virtual environment:

$ python -m venv env

To start using the new virtual environment:

$ source env/bin/activate

To install the dependencies:

$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
