View from Bibliometric Framework of Abdominal Region Traumatic Injury in Children

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: Childhood abdominal traumatic injuries are serious injuries that can be life-threatening and also have forensic medical importance. It is reported that more than 2000 children die every day worldwide as a result of these injuries. In this study, it is aimed to examine the studies on childhood abdominal traumatic injuries from a bibliometric framework using the Web of Science database. Material and Methods: Using the keywords "Child", "Children", "Pediatric", "Abdominal Trauma", "Abdominal Trauma", "Abdominal Traumas", "Abdominal Injury" and "Abdominal Injuries" in the Web of Science database, articles with these words in the title of the study were identified, and the characteristics of these articles such as language of writing, year of publication, journal, authors, author institutions, country of study and number of citations were examined. Results: It was determined that 260 (91.3%) of the 285 articles included in the study were written in English, the studies were most frequently conducted in the United States, Turkey and Canada, and the Surgery, Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine categories were prominent according to the WoS category. Conclusion: The bibliometric evaluation of articles published on childhood abdominal traumatic injuries in our country and other countries was revealed using to the data obtained in this study. Our study is the first of its kind to demonstrate research productivity in this field.

Çocuklarda Abdominal Bölge Travmatik Yaralanmaların Bibliyometrik Çerçeveden Görünümü

Öz

ÖZ Amaç: Çocukluk çağı abdominal bölge travmatik yaralanmaları hayati tehlike oluşturabilen ve aynı zamanda adli tıbbi öneme sahip ciddi yaralanmalardır. Dünya genelinde her gün 2000'den fazla çocuğun bu yaralanmalar sonucu hayatını kaybettiği belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Web of Science veritabanı kullanılarak yapılan çocukluk çağı abdominal bölge travmatik yaralanmalarına ilişkin çalışmalara bibliometrik çerçeveden bakılması amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntemler: Web of Science veritabanında "Child", "Children", "Pediatric", "Abdominal Trauma", "Abdominal Traumas", "Abdominal Injury" ve "Abdominal Injuries" anahtar sözcükleri kullanılarak bu sözcüklerin çalışma başlığında yer aldığı makaleler tespit edilmiş, bu makalelerin yazım dili, yayın yılı, yayınlandığı dergi, yazarları, yazar kurumları, çalışmaların yapıldığı ülke ve makalelere yapılan atıf sayısı gibi özellikleri incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamına alınan 285 makalenin 260’ının (%91,3) İngilizce dilinde yazıldığı, çalışmaların en sık Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, Türkiye ve Kanada’da yapıldığı, WoS kategorisine göre Cerrahi, Pediatri ve Acil Tıp kategorilerinin ön plana çıktığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada elde edilen veriler sayesinde ülkemizde ve diğer ülkelerde çocukluk çağı abdominal travmatik yaralanmaları ile ilgili yayınlanan makalelerin bibliyometrik değerlendirmesi ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmamız bu alandaki araştırma verimliliğini ortaya koyan ilk çalışma niteliğindedir.
