Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the global research status and trends in the occurrence of dysphagia after cervical spine surgery using bibliometrics.
Methods: All relevant research publications on dysphagia occurring after cervical spine surgery were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Literature coupling, co-citation and co-occurrence analyses were subsequently visualised using VOSviewer, CiteSpace. WPS Office was applied for data summary processing.
Results: Between 2000 and 2023, a total of 477 clinical studies met the inclusion criteria. The number of global publications has steadily increased in four stages over the last 19 years, with the United States having the most publications (=194), followed by China (=134) and South Korea (=34). The most contributing institutions were UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SYSTEM in the USA (n = 24) and SICHUAN UNIVERSITY in China (n-21). The most distinguished scholar was Liu,Hao (n = 15), followed by Albert (n = 10) and Yang,Yi (n = 9). Ten of the most cited papers were cited more than 65 times. The most important journal for research on the occurrence of dysphagia after cervical spine surgery was SPNIE (n = 445), followed by EUR SPINE J (n = 337) and SPINE J (n = 322), which analysed a number of factors including anatomy, patient information and the use of inbuilt objects. The top 20 most commonly used keywords were identified from 750 author keywords, with the highest number being dysphagia (n = 303), followed by fusion (n = 183) and spine surgery (182). In parallel with time zone and cluster analysis we found multiple high frequency keywords that appeared as early as 2006 and have continued to the present day, reflecting the enthusiasm of a large number of scholars who have researched this topic.
Conclusion: This bibliometric study analyses the global research hotspots and trends in postoperative cervical spine complication dysphagia in terms of study type, patient information, surgical modality, surgical segment, most popular keywords, most cited papers, journals, authors, institutions, and countries, to guide future practice and direction, in order to help understand how to effectively prevent or reduce the incidence of this postoperative complication so as to achieve the goal of lowering the patient's healthcare costs, to balance social medical resources and reduce the financial burden of the government.
期刊介绍：
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
