Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the global scientific output of research on patient delay and explore the hotspots and frontiers from 2000 to 2023 through bibliometric analysis.
Methods: Publications regarding patient delay published from 2000 to 2023 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Subsequently, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix Online Analysis Platform were used to analyze publications, countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords.
Results: A total of 721 papers were included in the study. The publication output increased from 20 papers in 2000 to 64 papers in 2023, a remarkable 220.00% growth. The USA (138 papers) and University of California San Francisco (21 papers) were identified as the most productive country and institution, respectively. Moser (10 papers), and Dracup (10 papers) are the most productive authors. "BMC Public Health" (24 publications) is the most productive journal. "Patient Delay" was the most cited keyword, with high-frequency keywords such as "Prehospital Delay", "Symptoms", "Time", "Care", "Diagnosis", "Acute Myocardial-infarction", and "Mortality" signaling hot topics in Patient Delay.
Conclusion: There are increasingly many papers on patient delay. However, there has been limited development of cooperation between countries and institutions. In the future, collaboration between countries and institutions should be strengthened. In addition, 3 hotspots and 3 frontiers are summarized in this study to provide researchers with future research directions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
