Background/Objective

Despite the increase in global research on open fractures, which continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, seriously affecting the health and quality of life of patients, there has not been any bibliometric research on this subject. The aim of this study was to make a holistic analysis of scientific articles published on the subject of open fractures using bibliometric methods.

Methods

Articles published on the subject of open fractures between 1980 and 2021 were downloaded from the Web of Science (WoS) database, and were analysed using various statistical methods. Network visualisation maps were used to determine international collaborations and trend topics, and citation analyses to determine the most effective studies. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to determine correlations, and exponential smoothing predictors to estimate the number of articles to be published in the next 5 years.

Results

A total of 1742 articles were analysed. The 3 countries making the greatest contribution to literature were the USA (591, 33.9%), UK (219, 12.5%) and Germany (132, 7.5%). The most active author was Bhandari M. (n = 22). The 3 most productive institutions were determined to be the University of California System (n = 57), University of Washington (31), and Harborview Medical Center (29). The most active journal was Injury (n = 143).

Conclusion

According to the analysis applied to identify trend topics, the topics most studied in recent years were determined to be surgical site infection, orthoplastics, intramedullary nail, Masquelet technique, BOAST, bone healing, closed reduction, classification, outcomes, and lower limb.

从古斯蒂洛和安德森到现在的开放性骨折：全球生产力和研究趋势的文献计量分析

背景/目标

尽管全球对开放性骨折的研究有所增加，开放性骨折仍然是发病和死亡的重要原因，严重影响患者的健康和生活质量，但尚未有任何关于这一主题的文献计量研究。本研究的目的是利用文献计量方法对发表的有关开放性骨折的科学文章进行整体分析。

方法

从 Web of Science (WoS) 数据库下载 1980 年至 2021 年间发表的有关开放性骨折的文章，并使用各种统计方法进行分析。网络可视化地图用于确定国际合作和趋势主题，并使用引文分析来确定最有效的研究。Spearman 相关系数用于确定相关性，指数平滑预测器用于估计未来 5 年内发表的文章数量。

结果

总共分析了 1742 篇文章。对文学贡献最大的三个国家是美国（591 篇，33.9%）、英国（219 篇，12.5%）和德国（132 篇，7.5%）。最活跃的作者是 Bhandari M.（n = 22）。生产力最高的 3 个机构是加州大学系统 ( n = 57)、华盛顿大学 (31) 和港景医疗中心 (29)。最活跃的期刊是 Injury ( n = 143)。
