Background The patient party is responsible for producing expert evidence to prove the negligence of a doctor, which becomes difficult due to lack of doctor's willingness to testify against other doctors. Impact factor (IF) is a surrogate to compare the quality of medical journals, which can be divided into low IF (< 10) and high IF (> 10). We aim to analyze various medical negligence cases where the medical journal was cited in court judgments on the parameters like court's verdict, IF of journals cited, compensation awarded, etc. |
