“…Another potential limitation is that only one database was used. However, it should be noted that Web of Science includes more than 21,517 journals, provides expansive coverage through a comprehensive content collection, and uses artificial intelligence to scrape the web for publications [ 5 ]. Furthermore, we did not categorize and identify the specific topic of each article.…”

“…It is important that researchers and physicians contribute to the field to fill gaps in knowledge and advance understanding of the condition. To fill these gaps, we must understand the literature as it stands, who is contributing, and trends in publications [ 5 ]. A quantitative way to sort literature is using bibliometric analysis.…”

“…A bibliometric analysis is a form of metascience that utilizes statistical analysis designed to assess literature like authorship, publication frequency, collaboration networks, and more [ 8 ]. Gaining an overview of the literature is useful because it gives physicians and researchers the ability to understand trends, fill gaps, and enhance collaboration in an objective way [ 5 , 8 ]. Therefore, the purpose of this analysis was to use bibliometric data to analyze the BPBI literature quantitatively to inform the medical field and encourage future growth.…”

Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is a relatively common condition that poses a significant challenge to children who endure functional impairments later on. This comprehensive bibliometric analysis sought to quantitatively evaluate the existing literature on BPBI, shedding light on authorship, collaboration, publication trends, and keyword analysis to both inform the medical community and foster future research growth. A thorough search of the Web of Science database yielded 712 relevant documents published between 1986 and 2022. The analysis utilized Biblioshiny (K-Synth Srl, Naples, Italy) for bibliometric data, alongside VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands) and TextRazor (TextRazor Ltd., London, UK) for keyword categorization. The literature had an average annual growth rate of 7.94%, with an average document age of 12 years. Collaborative efforts demonstrated 9.6% international co-authorship, with the United States prominently leading global collaborations. Top producing authors included Yang, Kozin, and Clarke, while the most cited authors were Clarke, Waters, and Curtis. Journals such as the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery emerged as key contributors to the literature. Keyword analysis illuminated prevalent categories like "society" and "health," underscoring the multifaceted nature of BPBI research. The findings from this bibliometric analysis highlight the dynamic and collaborative landscape of BPBI research, emphasizing the pressing need for continued contributions to address existing gaps in knowledge, enhance global collaboration, and advance the understanding and treatment of this complex condition. Beyond quantitative metrics, this study holds particular significance in its role as a compass for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers invested in BPBI. By offering insights into influential authors, institutions, and emerging trends, this analysis serves as a valuable resource, guiding future research endeavors, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and ultimately contributing to improved outcomes for individuals affected by BPBI. The importance of this study lies not only in its informative content but also in its potential to catalyze a collective effort toward refining treatment modalities, promoting preventative measures, and enhancing the overall quality of care for those navigating the challenges of BPBI.

“…For instance, relying on the number of articles, citations, and derived metrics allows for the quantification of the most prominent journals, countries, and research types in a specific field. Recently, several bibliometric analyses have been published in the fields of neurology, 8,9 neurosurgery, 10,11 and neurocritical care. 12 Unfortunately, the ENLS is relatively recent and is not as widespread as the ACLS and ATLS.…”

Background In 2012, the Neurocritical Care Society launched a compilation of protocols regarding the core issues that should be addressed within the first hours of neurological emergencies – the Emergency neurological life support (ENLS). Objective We aim to evaluate this repercussion through a bibliometric analysis. Methods We searched Scopus on October 2022 for articles mentioning ENLS. The following variables were obtained: number of citations; number of citations per year; number of publications per year; year of publication; research type; research subtype; country of corresponding author and its income category and world region; journal of publication and its 5-year impact factor (IF); and section where ENLS appeared. Results After applying eligibility criteria, we retrieved 421 articles, published from 2012 to 2022. The mean number of citations per article was 17.46 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 8.20–26.72), while the mean number of citations per year per article was 4.05 (95% CI = 2.50–5.61). The mean destiny journal 5-year IF was 5.141 (95% CI = 4.189–6.093). The majority of articles were secondary research (57.48%; n = 242/421) of which most were narrative reviews (71.90%; n = 174/242). High-Income countries were the most prominent (80.05%; n = 337/421 articles). There were no papers from low-income countries. There were no trials or systematic reviews from middle-income countries. Conclusion Although still low, the number of publications mentioning ENLS is increasing. Articles were mainly published in journals of intensive care medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, and emergency medicine. Most articles were published by authors from high-income countries. The majority of papers were secondary research, with narrative review as the most frequent subtype.
