摘要

导言:卫生经济学是一门蓬勃发展的经济学分支学科。应用卫生经济学研究被认为是医疗保健领域的关键,并被公共政策制定者广泛使用。对于学者来说,了解卫生经济学的历史和现状--它何时出现、研究成果的速度、趋势性话题及其时间演变--以确保在制定研究问题时的清晰性和方向性,是非常重要的:我们分析了近 13,000 篇文章,这些文章收录在十种最专业的卫生经济学期刊的集体出版物中。我们利用术语共现和文献共引模式对这些文献进行了研究:结果:该领域的研究成果呈指数级增长。结果:该领域的研究成果呈指数级增长:(i) 宏观经济评价,(ii) 微观经济评价,(iii) 成果的测量和估价,(iv) 监测机制(评价),以及 (v) 指导和评估。文件共同引用分析揭示了 18 个主要研究流,并确定了每个研究流中活动规模的差异。最近出现的卫生经济学研究活动体现在医疗补助扩展研究领域。儿童健康、与健康相关的生活质量 (HRQoL) 和成本效益等已确立的研究流继续显示出高水平的活动。相反,《患者偏好》、《医疗支出》和《经济评价》在专门的卫生经济学期刊上的活跃度已过了高峰期。分析还发现了一些过去出现但现在已不再活跃的期刊:结论:卫生经济学是一个不断发展的领域,但很少有证据表明新的研究趋势已经形成。在过去 10 年中,国际合作出版物的年均增长率几乎是国内合作出版物的两倍(8.4% 对 4.9%),但大多数顶级学术合作仍然只在六个国家之间进行。

Research trends in contemporary health economics: a scientometric analysis on collective content of specialty journals.

Introduction: Health economics is a thriving sub-discipline of economics. Applied health economics research is considered essential in the health care sector and is used extensively by public policy makers. For scholars, it is important to understand the history and status of health economics-when it emerged, the rate of research output, trending topics, and its temporal evolution-to ensure clarity and direction when formulating research questions.

Methods: Nearly 13,000 articles were analysed, which were found in the collective publications of the ten most specialised health economic journals. We explored this literature using patterns of term co-occurrence and document co-citation.

Results: The research output in this field is growing exponentially. Five main research divisions were identified: (i) macroeconomic evaluation, (ii) microeconomic evaluation, (iii) measurement and valuation of outcomes, (iv) monitoring mechanisms (evaluation), and (v) guidance and appraisal. Document co-citation analysis revealed eighteen major research streams and identified variation in the magnitude of activities in each of the streams. A recent emergence of research activities in health economics was seen in the Medicaid Expansion stream. Established research streams that continue to show high levels of activity include Child Health, Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and Cost-effectiveness. Conversely, Patient Preference, Health Care Expenditure and Economic Evaluation are now past their peak of activity in specialised health economic journals. Analysis also identified several streams that emerged in the past but are no longer active.

Conclusions: Health economics is a growing field, yet there is minimal evidence of creation of new research trends. Over the past 10 years, the average rate of annual increase in internationally collaborated publications is almost double that of domestic collaborations (8.4% vs 4.9%), but most of the top scholarly collaborations remain between six countries only.

期刊介绍: Health Economics Review is an international high-quality journal covering all fields of Health Economics. A broad range of theoretical contributions, empirical studies and analyses of health policy with a health economic focus will be considered for publication. Its scope includes macro- and microeconomics of health care financing, health insurance and reimbursement as well as health economic evaluation, health services research and health policy analysis. Further research topics are the individual and institutional aspects of health care management and the growing importance of health care in developing countries.
