Abstract
Background: Significant advancements have been made in the field of clinically relevant fat research over the past decade. A systematic analysis of publications in this domain is essential. This study aims to identify research hotspots and evolving trends in clinically relevant adipose tissue research through bibliometric analysis.
Methods: Publications related to fat clinical research from 2014 to 2023 were extracted and analyzed from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database. The data from this 10-year period were divided into two 5-year intervals (2014-2018 and 2019-2023) for analysis. Various aspects such as author keywords, countries, institutions, authors, and journal co-occurrence were studied. The data were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer.
Results: After selecting the retrieval strategy, a total of 892 publications were extracted for the period 2014-2018 and 1622 publications for 2019-2023. Comparing the two intervals, the United States was the country with the highest number of publications (354 publications vs. 546 publications). The institution with the highest output was Peking Union Medical College (26 publications vs. 87 publications). The most prolific author was Klinger M (4 publications) vs. Hua Zuguang (18 publications). The most active journal was Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (178 publications) vs. Aesthetic Surgery Journal (244 publications). The most active research areas were focused on "fat grafting," "liposuction," and "body contouring," with a rapid increase in research related to "facial rejuvenation" using fat grafting, suggesting it may be the next research hotspot.
Conclusion: Clinical research related to fat is rapidly evolving. This study provides a visual network and trend analysis of fat research over the past decade.
Level of evidence iii: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine Ratings, please refer to Table of Contents or online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266 .
期刊介绍:
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a publication of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the official journal of the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS), Società Italiana di Chirurgia Plastica Ricostruttiva ed Estetica (SICPRE), Vereinigung der Deutschen Aesthetisch Plastischen Chirurgen (VDAPC), the Romanian Aesthetic Surgery Society (RASS), Asociación Española de Cirugía Estética Plástica (AECEP), La Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora (SACPER), the Rhinoplasty Society of Europe (RSE), the Iranian Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (ISPAS), the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons (SAPS), the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the Egyptian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ESPRS), and the Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética (SCCP).
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.
