Abstract

Background

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a key area in cardiovascular research, but inconsistent findings have made it hard to fully understand. Bibliometrics, using mathematics and statistics, can track trends and progress in research over time. This study uses bibliometrics to assess RIPC trends and hotspots in cardiac surgery, aiming to better understand future research.

Methods and Results

Studies on RIPC were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, with 104 studies included contributing countries, collaborative countries, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, research topics, citation patterns, and the current state of research. in this field were visually analyzed by using R platform, VOS viewer, and Microsoft Excel. These publications mainly came from 29 countries and 65 institutions. All experiments were clinical studies, and the type of surgery involved was cardiac surgery. A significant percentage of publications occurred during the period from 2010 to 2020 (75; 72.11%). Germany made the most significant contribution to this field with 27 (25.96%) papers and had the highest total citation count (2314). J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg published the most studies (n = 6), followed by Basic Res Cardiol (n = 5). We identified 89 authors, among which Patrick Meybohm, Juergen Peters, and Matthias Thielmann had the most studies (n = 10).

Conclusions

RIPC has significant research value and potential in cardiac surgery, mainly focusing on organ protection during adult heart surgeries, especially myocardial protection. Although Germany and China are leading, more international cooperation is needed. Large-scale, standardized randomized controlled trials on RIPC are essential to provide higher-level evidence-based medical research.

心脏外科远程缺血预处理的新趋势和研究热点：文献计量学分析

远端缺血预处理（Remote ischemic preconditioning， RIPC）是心血管研究的一个重要领域，但由于研究结果的不一致，使得人们对其难以完全理解。文献计量学利用数学和统计学，可以追踪研究的趋势和进展。本研究采用文献计量学方法评估心脏外科RIPC趋势和热点，旨在更好地了解未来的研究。方法与结果检索Web of Science核心文献，共收录104篇RIPC相关研究，包括发文国、合作国、机构、作者、期刊、关键词、研究课题、被引模式、研究现状等。利用R平台、VOS viewer和Microsoft Excel对该领域进行可视化分析。这些出版物主要来自29个国家和65个机构。所有实验均为临床研究，涉及的手术类型为心脏手术。很大比例的出版物发生在2010年至2020年期间(75%；72.11%)。德国在该领域的贡献最大，共发表论文27篇（25.96%），总被引次数最多（2314次）。发表研究最多的是J Thorac cardiovascular surgery (n = 6)，其次是Basic Res Cardiol （n = 5）。我们确定了89位作者，其中Patrick Meybohm、Juergen Peters和Matthias Thielmann的研究最多（n = 10）。结论RIPC在心脏外科手术中具有重要的研究价值和潜力，主要集中在成人心脏手术中的器官保护，尤其是心肌保护。尽管德国和中国处于领先地位，但需要更多的国际合作。大规模、标准化的随机对照RIPC试验对于提供更高水平的循证医学研究至关重要。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
