Abstract

Background: Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has become a significant concern in plastic surgery, particularly following the 2019 recall of Allergan macro-textured implants. While research has addressed its epidemiology and management, a comprehensive analysis of global publication trends is lacking. This study provides a bibliometric evaluation of the scientific literature on BIA-ALCL, identifying key contributors, research trends, and emerging areas of interest.

Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection to retrieve English-languagepublications on BIA-ALCL from 1995 to 2024. Bibliometric indicators, including publication trends, authorship, country contributions, institutional affiliations, and citation impact, were analyzed. VOSviewer 1.6.20 was used for keyword co-occurrence and cluster analyses.

Results: A total of 1,148 publications were identified, with a sharp increase after 2018. The United States contributed the most research (43.81%), followed by Italy, England, Australia, and Brazil. Cluster analysis revealed four thematic areas: clinical presentation and risk factors, diagnostic strategies, epidemiology and treatment, and etiological hypotheses. The most cited article was Keech et al. (1997), documenting an early case of BIA-ALCL.

Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis highlights the increasing research focus on implant surface characterization, disease etiology, and patient management. These findings provide valuable insights into the evolution of BIA-ALCL literature and may inform future research and clinical decision-making in plastic surgery.

Level of evidence v: 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 the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266 .

乳房植入物相关间变性大细胞淋巴瘤（BIA-ALCL）：文献计量学分析的出版趋势。

背景：乳房植入物相关间变性大细胞淋巴瘤（BIA-ALCL）已成为整形外科的一个重要问题，特别是在2019年Allergan召回宏纹理植入物之后。虽然研究已经解决了其流行病学和管理问题，但缺乏对全球出版趋势的全面分析。本研究对BIA-ALCL的科学文献进行了文献计量学评估，确定了主要贡献者、研究趋势和新兴兴趣领域。方法：采用文献计量学分析方法，利用Web of Science Core Collection检索1995 - 2024年在BIA-ALCL上发表的英文文献。分析了文献计量指标，包括出版趋势、作者、国家贡献、机构隶属关系和引文影响。使用VOSviewer 1.6.20进行关键词共现和聚类分析。结果：共确定了1148份出版物，2018年之后急剧增加。美国贡献了最多的研究（43.81%），其次是意大利、英国、澳大利亚和巴西。聚类分析揭示了四个主题领域：临床表现和危险因素、诊断策略、流行病学和治疗以及病因假设。引用最多的文章是Keech等人（1997），记录了一例早期BIA-ALCL病例。结论：这一文献计量学分析强调了越来越多的研究集中在种植体表面特征，疾病病因学和患者管理。这些发现为BIA-ALCL文献的发展提供了有价值的见解，并可能为整形外科的未来研究和临床决策提供信息。证据等级v：本刊要求作者为每篇文章指定证据等级。有关这些循证医学评级的完整描述，请参阅目录或在线作者说明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.
