Background: Mean platelet volume (MPV) was investigated by many medical disciplines for different disease groups. But, the use of MPV values in clinical practice is limited. Objective: In this study, it is aimed to make a bibliometric analysis of studies on MPV over the Web of Science database and also to reveal Turkey's contribution to this issue. Method: This bibliometric analysis was performed in June 2021 as a result of a search for mean platelet volume (MPV) in all indexes in the Web of Science (WOS) database. Result: The most of the MPV studies in the world were conducted on hematology (1256, 18.9%), general internal medicine (746, 11.2%), peripheral vascular diseases (579, 8.7%), cardiology/cardiovascular system diseases (537, 8%), experimental medicine research departments (376, 5.6%), and surgical sciences (342, 5.1%) in the fields of science/subject. The rank of emergency medicine is 64 (0.9%) in the world and 41 (2.1%) in Turkey. 17 of the 25 authors who published the most were Turkish. Conclusion: In many studies, when the standard deviations are taken into account, the difference between the groups cannot be seen mathematically, even if they are statistically different. Therefore, the use of MPV values in clinical practice is limited. However, these studies suggest that academic promotion is aimed rather than contributing to the scientific literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
