Abstract

Amaç: Yapay zeka (YZ) teknolojileri, doğum ve kadın hastalıkları (D&K) alanında tanı, tedavi optimizasyonu ve hasta bakımında önemli ilerlemeler sunarak bu alanı derinden etkilemiştir. YZ’nin giderek artan entegrasyonu, öngörücü analizler, makine öğrenimi ve robotik cerrahi gibi uygulamalarla anne ve fetüs sağlığını yeniden şekillendirmiştir. Bu çalışma, 1 Ocak 2005 ile 31 Aralık 2024 tarihleri arasında yayımlanmış D&K alanındaki YZ araştırmalarının bibliyometrik bir analizini sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Temel hedefler arasında yayın eğilimlerinin, önde gelen katkı sağlayıcıların, baskın araştırma temalarının, iş birliği kalıplarının ve gelişen teknolojilerin belirlenmesi yer almaktadır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanından "artificial intelligence" (yapay zeka) anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak ve "obstetrics gynecology" (doğum ve kadın hastalıkları) kategorisiyle filtrelenerek 959 yayına ait veriler elde edilmiştir. Bibliyometrik ağları (yazar iş birlikleri, anahtar kelime birlikteliği, bibliyografik eşleşme ve coğrafi iş birlikleri) görselleştirmek için VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Analiz, 2017 sonrasında YZ ile ilgili araştırmalarda belirgin bir artış olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Kuzey Amerika ve Avrupa en fazla katkı sağlayan bölgeler olarak öne çıkarken, Asya yükselen etkili bir bölge olarak dikkat çekmiştir. Tanımlanan temel temalar arasında makine öğrenimi, derin öğrenme, tüp bebek (IVF), tanısal görüntüleme ve robotik cerrahi yer almaktadır. İş birliği ağları, yüksek etkili kurumlar arasında güçlü kurumsal ve uluslararası araştırma ortaklıklarını göstermiştir.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma, YZ’nin D&K alanındaki dönüştürücü potansiyelini vurgulamakta ve kritik araştırma alanlarını, başlıca katkı sağlayıcıları ve iş birliği dinamiklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, gelecekteki araştırmalar için bir temel oluşturmakta; kapsayıcılık, etik YZ kullanımı ve küresel sağlık hizmetlerindeki eşitsizliklerin giderilmesi gerekliliğini ön plana çıkarmaktadır.

Abstract

Aims: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have significantly impacted obstetrics and gynecology (Obs&Gyn), particularly in diagnostics, treatment, and patient care. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of AI-related research in Obs&Gyn published between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2024. The main objectives are to explore publication trends, leading contributors, research themes, collaboration patterns, and emerging technologies.
Methods: A total of 959 publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection using the keyword “artificial intelligence” and filtered by the Obs&Gyn category. VOSviewer software was used to map co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling, and geographic collaborations.
Results: AI research in Obs&Gyn increased notably after 2017. North America and Europe led in publication output, with Asia also showing strong contributions. Prominent themes included machine learning, deep learning, IVF, diagnostic imaging, and robotic surgery. Collaboration networks revealed strong institutional and international partnerships.
Conclusion: This study underscores the transformative potential of AI in Obs&Gyn and highlights critical research areas, key contributors, and collaboration dynamics. Findings provide a foundation for future research, emphasizing the need for inclusivity, ethical AI adoption, and addressing global healthcare disparities in Obs&Gyn.
