Meta-analysis in periprosthetic joint infection: a global bibliometric analysis

Abstract: Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most serious complication of joint replacement surgery. Further comorbidities include bedsore, deep vein thrombosis, reinfection, or even death. An increasing number of researchers are focusing on this challenging complication. The aim of the present study was to estimate global PJI research based on bibliometrics from meta-analysis studies. Methods: A database search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Relevant studies were assessed usin… Show more

“…Web of Science is the most frequently used database in bibliometric studies, and most of the bibliometric softwares could identify the format from Web of Science [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ]. However, the drawback is that some valuable literature from other database sources are most likely missed [ 13 ]. Second, the research topic of ERAS contains multiple medical disciplines.…”

“…Scientific publication is the core of discipline development and scholarly communication, and the creation of clinical practice guidelines also depends on the strong evidence from the literature [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Bibliometric analysis is a method for discovering the characteristics of a research subject to understand the current status and trend through the literature, and it is commonly used in the medical field [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Unfortunately, as one of the hot topics in the surgical field, ERAS has not been assessed.…”

“…The present study had several limitations. First, our bibliometric analysis was based on the WoS database, which potentially missed several publications from frequently used databases, such as Scopus and PubMed [ 38 , 39 ]. Second, conference proceedings were excluded in the present study, as they could be published twice as a conference abstract and complete journal article [ 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Bibliometrics, first defined by Pritchard in 1969, is a visualization method to quantitatively assess the contribution of a research field by using mathematical and statistical approaches [ 8 ]. It is also regarded as an important approach to reveal the research trends and predict the research hotspots in a certain field [ 9 , 10 ]. Over recent years, the application of bibliometric analysis is very extensive in the biomedical sciences, due to the explosion in the quantity of scientific publications and the availability of several freeware bibliometric tools [ 11 , 12 ].…”
