Abstract

Objective

In this study, scientific literature on anemia in geriatric surgical patients was reviewed using bibliometric analysis. Trends, scientific collaborations, and research gaps were identified.

Method

On March 1, 2025, 640 articles were included in the analysis after searching the Web of Science database using MeSH terms such as "geriatrics,” "elderly,” "surgery,” "anaemia" “anemia”. Bibliometric evaluation was performed using the Biblioshiny interface. Publication years, authors, journals, keywords, countries, and collaborations were analyzed.

Results

A total of 3376 authors took part in 640 articles published between 1984 and 2025. The average number of citations per article was 9.54. BMJ Case Reports and International Journal of Surgery Case Reports had the highest number of publications. According to Keywords Plus analysis, the most common terms were "management", "surgery", "mortality" and "diagnosis".

Discussion

This study examined the literature on anemia in elderly surgical patients using a bibliometric method and analyzed the research trends, collaborations, and knowledge structure in this field using the Web of Science database. This study highlighted the negative effects of anemia on surgical outcomes, identified gaps in the literature, and provided recommendations for future research. These findings provide a comprehensive assessment of the field in accordance with the interdisciplinary and complex nature of the subject.

Conclusion

Key dynamics and gaps in the field were identified. In particular, significant research gaps were identified, including a lack of international collaboration, inadequate multidisciplinary approaches, and limited publications in some thematic areas (e.g., frailty and blood transfusion protocols). These findings can guide future, more comprehensive, and collaborative studies targeting these gaps.

老年外科中贫血的文献计量测绘

目的采用文献计量学方法对老年外科患者贫血的相关文献进行综述。确定了趋势、科学合作和研究差距。方法于2025年3月1日，在Web of Science数据库中检索“geriatrics”、“elderly”、“surgery”、“anemia”、“anemia”等MeSH词条，纳入640篇文章。使用Biblioshiny界面进行文献计量学评价。分析了出版年份、作者、期刊、关键词、国家和合作情况。结果1984 - 2025年共发表论文640篇，共有3376位作者参与。平均每篇文章被引用次数为9.54次。《英国医学杂志病例报告》和国际外科杂志病例报告发表数量最多。根据Keywords Plus分析，最常见的术语是“管理”、“手术”、“死亡率”和“诊断”。本研究采用文献计量学方法对老年外科患者贫血的文献进行了分析，并利用Web of Science数据库分析了该领域的研究趋势、合作情况和知识结构。本研究强调了贫血对手术结果的负面影响，确定了文献中的空白，并为未来的研究提供了建议。这些发现根据学科的跨学科和复杂性提供了对该领域的全面评估。结论明确了该领域的关键动态和空白。特别是，发现了重大的研究差距，包括缺乏国际合作、多学科方法不足以及在某些专题领域（例如，虚弱和输血方案）的出版物有限。这些发现可以指导未来针对这些差距进行更全面和合作的研究。

期刊介绍： The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
