Abstract

The goal of this work was to analyze the scientific output in the field of hypertensive retinopathy and its evolution globally and by major countries or regions, with a particular focus on the leading countries and international collaborations. In this bibliometric study, the keywords related to hypertensive retinopathy (“Hypertensive” and “Retinopathy” or ‘’ hypertensive retinopathy’’ or ‘‘hypertension’’ and ‘‘eye’’) were used in a search query in the Web of Science (WOS) search engine. The time span was set from 1970 to 2021. Only research articles were analyzed. Data pertaining to growth of publications, the most active countries and institutions, the most cited journals, and mapping of publications and keywords were analyzed from Web of Science Core Collection. A total of 152 articles included the study. The average number of citations of these articles was 14.69. The H-index of these articles was 22.The majority of the articles were from research areas of Ophthalmology (n=44; 28.94%), Cardiovascular System Cardiology (n=30; 19.73%) and General Internal Medicine (n=21; 13.81%). The leading countries on number of publishing articles was the Unıted States of America (USA) (n=28; 18.42%), Türkiye (n=21; 13.81%) and China (n=20; 13.15%). Akdeniz University, Türkiye (n=5, 3.289%), Capital University of Medicine and China (n=5, 3.289%) were the most productive affiliations on hypertensive retinopathy publications. The number of publications on hypertensive retinopathy have been increasing in the past two decades. The most of the publications from the USA, especially in North America countries. Citation numbers are high but international collaboration needed around the globe this growing and concerning subject.
