A scientometric study of syphilis research by dermatologists and stomatologists: Underpinning their roles in public health
Background/Purpose
The Lancet Infectious Diseases launched a call to action for dermatologists in the rise of syphilis. In practice, dermatologists and stomatologists perform early diagnoses of syphilis and refer patients to adequate treatment.
Materials and methods
This scientometric study aimed to investigate and compare research trends and characteristics of syphilis publications by dermatologists and stomatologists in the Scopus database, with emphasis on the analysis of the keywords that can reflect research directions and topics of concern.
Results
Among 18,120 papers on syphilis, 1981 (10.9%) and 201 (1.1%) were published by dermatologists and stomatologists, respectively. The total citation count was 18,629 and 2,376 with an h index of 52 and 25 for publications by dermatologists and stomatologists, respectively. Common keywords in papers by both dermatologists and stomatologists included male, Treponema pallidum, benzathine penicillin, differential diagnosis, human immunodeficiency virus, secondary syphilis, syphilis serology, cutaneous syphilis, neurosyphilis, congenital syphilis, lymphadenopathy, chancre, gonorrhea, rash, erythema, and papule. Distinctive keywords used by dermatologists included infant, pregnancy complications, lymphocytic infiltration, spirochete, and genetics. Keywords that included questionnaire, awareness, infection risk, attitude to health, sexual health, oral sex, and unprotected sex were used by stomatologists.
Conclusion
In the modern context, both dermatologists and stomatologists play important roles in providing early recognition and timely diagnosis of syphilis, advocating for public health campaigns aimed at increasing awareness, and improving access to care for at-risk patient populations.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases.
The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
