Abstract

Background

Cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) is a common head and neck congenital defect. Orthodontics plays a crucial role in CLP management, where recent years witnessed an increase in publication volume in the topic. However, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis has been conducted to illustrate publication trends and collaboration networks.

Objectives

To analyze the bibliometrics of orthodontic publications related to care of patients with CLP from 2000 to 2024.

Materials and Methods

On 1 January 2025, a search was conducted on the Web of Science database. The bibliometric data of articles and reviews were analyzed using BiblioShiny software. VOSviewer software was also used to analyze author, affiliation, and country collaboration networks and the article's co-citation and keyword co-occurrence networks.

Results

A total of 1295 studies were identified from the database search (90.7 % articles and 9.3 % reviews). Publications grew annually by 11.8 % on average, spiking around 2020 and 2021. There were 278 associated journals, with Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal at the top (18 %). There were 4456 authors associated with the studies, with Daniela Garib topping the list (1.78 %). Among the 944 affiliations associated with the studies, the University of Sao Paulo had the highest publication volume (11.6 %). The United States topped the 87 countries associated with the included studies (13.4 %), whereas developing countries showed an increase in publications from 2012 to 2024. The comparison between the two halves of the selected timespan showed a change in publishing trends between authors, source journals, affiliations, and countries.

Conclusions

Over the selected timespan, there has been an increase of orthodontic publications related to care of patients with CLP from 2000 to 2024. The gathered data showed dynamic transformation in the bibliometric data in the ranking of authors, affiliations, journals, and countries, along with changes in the research trending topics.

2000 - 2024年与唇腭裂患者护理相关的正畸出版物文献计量学分析

背景：唇腭裂（CLP）是一种常见的头颈部先天性缺陷。正畸在CLP管理中起着至关重要的作用，近年来该主题的出版物数量有所增加。然而，还没有进行全面的文献计量分析来说明出版趋势和合作网络。目的：分析2000 ~ 2024年CLP患者正畸治疗相关文献计量学资料。材料和方法：在2025年1月1日，对Web of Science数据库进行了检索。使用BiblioShiny软件对文章和综述的文献计量数据进行分析。还使用VOSviewer软件分析作者、隶属关系和国家合作网络以及文章的共引和关键词共现网络。结果：从数据库检索中共检索到1295项研究（90.7%的文章和9.3%的综述）。出版物平均每年增长11.8%，在2020年和2021年左右达到峰值。相关期刊278份，其中腭裂颅面杂志排名第一（18%）。有4456位作者参与了这些研究，Daniela Garib排名第一（1.78%）。在与这些研究相关的944所附属机构中，圣保罗大学的出版物量最高（11.6%）。美国在与纳入研究相关的87个国家中排名第一（13.4%），而发展中国家的出版物从2012年到2024年有所增加。对所选时间跨度的两半的比较显示了作者、来源期刊、附属机构和国家之间出版趋势的变化。结论：在选定的时间范围内，从2000年到2024年，与CLP患者护理相关的正畸出版物有所增加。收集到的数据显示，文献计量数据在作者排名、隶属单位排名、期刊排名和国家排名等方面发生了动态变化，研究趋势主题也发生了变化。
