<b><i>Background:</i></b> Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological disorder leading to dysuria in middle-aged and elderly men and significantly reduces the quality of life of patients. Technology for BPH has made a great progress, while there is still a lack of visual and summary literature to make the summary. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> The aims of the study were to identify the cooperation of authors, countries, institutions, and explore hot topics’ prospects regarding research of BPH. Relevant original articles were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database between 2016 and 2022. CiteSpace software was used to perform the analysis and visualization of scientific productivity and emerging trends. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> A total of 4,738 articles related to study of BPH were identified. We observed a gradual increase in the number of publications from 2016 to 2022. The USA dominated the field in all countries. Shanghai Jiao Tong University was the most productive institution in 6 years. Active cooperation between countries and between institutions was not observed. <i>Journal of Urology</i> was the most co-cited journal. Roehrborn CG (41 papers) was the most productive author and had the largest numbers of citations (820 co-citations) during the past 6 years. Close collaboration was not observed between the different authors. The main hot topics included matters related to BPH, urinary tract symptom, prostatic urethral lift, thermal therapy, and prostatic neoplasms. This scientometric study comprehensively reviewed publications related to BPH during the past 6 years using quantitative and qualitative methods, which can be used to forecast future research developments in BPH.
Objectives: To identify the cooperation of authors, countries, institutions and explore the hot topics’ prospects regarding research of surgical procedure in uterine cervical neoplasms.Methods: Publications on research of surgical treatment of uterine cervical neoplasms were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Bibliometric analysis were performed by CiteSpace software. Visualized network maps were performed to evaluate the collaborations between different authors, countries, institutions, and keywords.Results: A total of 1381 articles related to study were identified. An increasing number of publications were observed from 2006 to 2022, and the number of publications were over 100 in 2020 and 2021. Gynecologic Oncology (715 times) was the most co-cited journal. Active collaborations among the top authors were observed. Scambia G(17 papers) was the top most productive authors and Ramirez PT with the largest numbers of citations (155 co-citations) in this field during the past decades. The USA was the leading contributor in this field with 342papers. Active cooperation between countries and between institutions was observed. The main hot topics in the last three years included matters related to uterine cervical neoplasms, quality of life (QoL), guideline, and gynecologic surgical procedure.Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of surgery in uterine cervical neoplasms, allowing relevant authors and research teams to recognize the current research status in this field and provide a reference for formulating future research directions as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
