Abstract

Background: The main objective of this study is to review publications on the presence of Demodex spp. in patients diagnosed with blepharitis worldwide and to analyse the trends and groups in this field.

Methods: This bibliometric study was conducted to detect the presence of Demodex spp. in patients diagnosed with blepharitis worldwide between 1984 and 2023. For this purpose, 288 studies were examined as a result of searches using the keywords "Blepharitis and Demodex" in Web of Science (WOS) databases. All text data was analysed using VOSviewer software to ensure accuracy and reliability. In this study, analysis using text mining and data visualization techniques (bubble maps and graphs) helped to make the results more understandable.

Results: This study provided information on 288 articles from WOS databases. The average total number of citations is 1305 and the H-index is 41. The majority of articles (63%) were published in the field of ophthalmology. The countries that published the most articles on this topic were the USA (24%), China (13%), and Turkey (11%).

Conclusion: This study is the first bibliometric study of patients diagnosed with blepharitis due to Demodex spp. The most used keyword in blepharitis is Demodex. The most studied field of research is ophthalmology and the most studied country is the United States of America. The results of this bibliometric analysis conducted by us reveal global trends in the presence of Demodex spp. in patients diagnosed with blepharitis and provide important information for future directions of research.

眼睑炎患者蠕形螨存在研究的全球趋势。

背景：本研究的主要目的是回顾世界范围内关于眼睑炎患者中蠕形螨存在的出版物，并分析该领域的趋势和群体。方法：采用文献计量学方法，对1984 - 2023年世界范围内诊断为眼睑炎的患者进行蠕形螨检测。为此，在Web of Science （WOS）数据库中使用关键词“Blepharitis and Demodex”进行搜索，对288项研究进行了检查。使用VOSviewer软件对所有文本数据进行分析，以确保准确性和可靠性。在本研究中，使用文本挖掘和数据可视化技术（气泡图和图形）的分析有助于使结果更易于理解。结果：本研究获得WOS数据库288篇文献的信息。平均总被引次数为1305次，h指数为41。大多数文章（63%）发表在眼科领域。发表这方面文章最多的国家是美国（24%）、中国（13%）和土耳其（11%）。结论：本研究首次对蠕形螨引起的眼睑炎患者进行文献计量学研究，眼睑炎中使用最多的关键词是蠕形螨。研究最多的领域是眼科学，研究最多的国家是美国。我们进行的文献计量分析的结果揭示了在诊断为眼睑炎的患者中蠕形螨存在的全球趋势，并为未来的研究方向提供了重要的信息。
