Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality, especially in low- and middle-income countries, many of which are in the Arab region. We aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to assess the scientific output concerning CVDs in the Arab region and the Middle East over the past decade. Methods: A bibliometric search was conducted on PubMed and Scopus between 2012 and 2022. The study analyzed the number of publications, countries, institutional sources, authors, journals, and keywords. Visualization analysis was executed using various software tools, including R, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. Results: PubMed and Scopus yielded 5340 documents related to CVDs at the time of data collection. A total of 1263 documents were retrieved after screening based on specific inclusion criteria that guarantee the inclusion only for Arab region studies and authors. There has been a consistent increase in annual publications in recent years. The countries that contributed the most to research in this field were Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Although Egypt stood out as the most productive country, the institute with the highest number of documents was in Qatar. In addition, the Top 3 authors hailed from Qatar. Saudi Medical Journal leads the field as the most productive journal, followed closely by PLoS One and Angiology. Research topics of significant interest in the realm of CVDs include specific diseases such as heart failure, risk factors related to CVDs, genetic aspects of CVDs, and congenital disorders in infant's cardiac health. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of CVD research in the Arab region. It includes research hotspots that can guide authors in determining the necessary future investigations within this field. There is a clear call for further exploration of various aspects of CVDs in the Arab world. Strengthening cooperation between countries and institutes is needed.

分析阿拉伯地区的心血管疾病研究:2012 年至 2022 年文献计量学回顾》。
背景:心血管疾病(CVDs)仍然是导致死亡的主要原因,尤其是在中低收入国家,其中许多国家位于阿拉伯地区。我们旨在进行文献计量分析,以评估过去十年阿拉伯地区和中东有关心血管疾病的科学成果。方法:我们在 PubMed 和 Scopus 上进行了文献计量学检索,检索时间为 2012 年至 2022 年。研究分析了出版物的数量、国家、机构来源、作者、期刊和关键词。使用各种软件工具(包括 R、VOSviewer 和 CiteSpace)进行了可视化分析。结果在收集数据时,PubMed 和 Scopus 共收录了 5340 篇与心血管疾病相关的文献。根据特定的纳入标准(保证只纳入阿拉伯地区的研究和作者)进行筛选后,共检索到 1263 篇文献。近年来,每年发表的论文数量持续增长。对该领域研究贡献最大的国家是埃及、沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋。虽然埃及是成果最多的国家,但文献数量最多的机构却是卡塔尔。此外,前三名作者均来自卡塔尔。沙特医学杂志》是该领域产量最高的期刊,《PLoS One》和《血管病学》紧随其后。心血管疾病领域的重要研究课题包括心力衰竭等特定疾病、与心血管疾病相关的风险因素、心血管疾病的遗传因素以及婴儿心脏健康的先天性疾病。结论本研究全面概述了阿拉伯地区心血管疾病的研究现状。它包括一些研究热点,可指导作者确定该领域未来必要的调查。显然,阿拉伯世界需要进一步探索气相化学变化的各个方面。需要加强国家和机构之间的合作。
