Scientific Production on Chemical Burns: A Bibliometric Analysis (1946-2024).
Background: Chemical burns represent a persistent global health challenge due to their high prevalence, causing lifelong disabilities and socioeconomic burdens. Although research on chemical burns has expanded over the past century, no comprehensive study has mapped the intellectual structure, global collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution of scientific production on chemical burns to determine how research in the area has evolved and the existence of gaps or imbalances that need to be addressed.
Objective: The aim was to analyze the scientific production on chemical burns using bibliometric methods, identifying key contributors, evolving themes, and research gaps.
Methods: Eligible documents contained the MeSH descriptor and were listed both in PubMed (1946 to 2024) and in the Web of Science Core Collection. The documents were analyzed with Bibliometrix version 5.0 and VOSviewer version 1.6.20. The metrics included were annual productivity, citation networks, co-authorship patterns, and keyword co-occurrence.
Results: The analysis included 3943 articles from 757 journals. The annual average was 25.8 articles, with a growth rate of 0.65% from 1946 to 2024. The USA produced the most articles (n = 1547), followed by China (n = 890). The USA also led in international collaboration, working with 26 countries. Harvard University was the leading institution (n = 325) and Burns the leading journal (n = 306), followed by Cornea (n = 132). The most common subject category of the research was surgery (n = 1185 docs) and ophthalmology (n = 984). Reim M. was the most prolific author (n = 35), while Basu S. had the most citations (n = 1159). The main clinical MeSH descriptors were "Eye burns" (n = 1158), "Esophageal stenosis" (n = 683), and "Caustics" (n = 659).
Conclusions: The results show slight growth in scientific production on chemical burns. The USA and China are leading research in this field, and the main reported finding was eye burns.
