Stefano Negrini and Isico enter the Expertscape “hall of fame”

“We couldn’t possibly have asked for a better piece of news than this to mark June, which is World Scoliosis Awareness month” commented Prof. Stefano Negrini, scientific director of Isico. “This recognition from Expertscape is a source of huge satisfaction not only for me but for the entire organisation I represent”.

Because while Prof. Negrini features among the world’s top 20 experts in the rehabilitation and surgical treatment of scoliosis (he is listed 11th to be precise: http://www.expertscape.com/ex/scoliosis), Isico finds itself in 38th place in the classification of clinical institutes. What is more, Prof. Negrini is not the only Isico specialist to appear in the classification: Drs Fabio Zaina (24th), Michele Romano and Sabrina Donzelli are also included.

Negrini’s ranking is based on 55 articles published since 2008.

What is Expertscape? It is an American rating agency that classifies the world’s leading experts in the various medical disciplines on the basis of the   analysis of a series of parameters and variables. With reference to the past 10 years, the site uses the National Institutes of Health PubMed database to identify and rank medical expertise across more than 27,000 topics.

The site was created to make it easier to find top specialists in any field of medicine. The site managers specify that they evaluate “scientific knowledge”; other criteria clearly cannot be taken into account in their evaluation, given that some of the top experts might be involved solely in research, and not in daily clinical practice with patients.

In the case of Isico, and its specialists, this recognition reflects the constant research and scientific publishing activity that accompanies their daily clinical involvement with thousands of patients.
