Portal hypertension research activity: A bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Purpose: Portal hypertension (PHT) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a portal vein pressure gradient exceeding 5 mm Hg. Portal hypertensive complications have high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to provide an overview of portal hypertension research, as well as investigate the publications and citations of countries, authors, and institutions, international cooperation, and the density of terms used, employ a bibliometric analysis method, and shed light on future research. Materials and Methods: The search was performed on the Web of Science (WoS) on October 21, 2021. The term "Portal hypertension" was searched in the paper "title" section between 01.01.2001 and 31.12.2020. The software VOS viewer (Version 1.6.17), which shows the partnership mesh in bibliometric works, was used to analyze the data obtained. Results: The most frequently used keyword was portal hypertension with 46.4%, followed by cirrhosis with 11.1% and liver cirrhosis with 7.4%. In our study, the most effective journals related to portal hypertension were the World Journal of Gastroenterology (86 articles, 1264 citations), the Journal of Hepatology (45 articles, 2781 citations), and Hepatology (44 articles, 3769 citations), and Gastroenterology had the highest average citation (117.8). Conclusion: The present study offers an alternative viewpoint on global research trends in portal hypertension between 2001 and 2020 and is the first bibliometric analysis of portal hypertension, an issue with an increasing publication trend. We believe that by providing comprehensive and structured information on portal hypertension, the study will assist researchers in identifying publication hotspots and gaps on the subject.

Portal hipertansiyon araştırma trendi: bibliyometrik bir analiz

Öz

Amaç: Portal hipertansiyon (PHT), 5 mm Hg'yi aşan portal ven basınç farkı ile karakterize, komplikasyonları yüksek morbidite ve mortaliteye sahip klinik bir sendromdur. Bu çalışma, portal hipertansiyon araştırmalarına genel bir bakış sağlamanın yanı sıra yazarların, ülkelerin ve kurumların yayınlarını ve alıntılarını, uluslararası işbirliğini ve kullanılan terimlerin sıklığını bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanarak araştırmayı ve gelecekteki araştırmalara ışık tutmayı amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 21 Ekim 2021 tarihinde Web of Science (WoS) üzerinde arama yapılmıştır. Ocak 2001 ile Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasındaki makalelerin "başlık" bölümünde "Portal hipertansiyon" terimi aranmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde bibliyometrik çalışmalarda işbirliği ağını gösteren VOS viewer (Versiyon 1.6.17) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: En sık kullanılan anahtar kelime %46,4 ile portal hipertansiyon, %11,1 ile siroz ve %7,4 ile karaciğer sirozu idi. Çalışmamızda portal hipertansiyon ile ilgili en aktif dergiler World Journal of Gastroenterology (86 makale, 1264 atıf), Journal of Hepatology (45 makale, 2781 atıf), Hepatology (44 makale, 3769 atıf) ve en yüksek ortalama atıf sayısı ile Gastroenterology idi (117,8). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, 2001 ve 2020 yılları arasında portal hipertansiyonda küresel araştırma eğilimlerine alternatif bir bakış açısı sunmakta olup artan bir yayın trendi olan portal hipertansiyonun ilk bibliyometrik analizidir. Çalışmanın, portal hipertansiyon hakkında kapsamlı ve yapılandırılmış bilgiler sağlayarak, araştırmacılara konuyla ilgili yayın noktalarını ve boşlukları belirlemede yardımcı olacağına inanıyoruz.
