A Scientometric Visualization Analysis for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia from 2016 to 2022

Abstract

<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.

Microbiome in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTSs): Mapping the State of the Art with Bibliometric Analysis

“…As the volume of microbiome research in urological diseases expands, it becomes increasingly important for healthcare providers, trainees, and research groups to identify the most relevant literature and stakeholders. Researchers are actively investigating the role of the microbiome in a wide range of urological illnesses, and microbiome research is currently receiving increased attention [ 16 ]. Complex microbial communities that inhabit the human body are now understood to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of many diseases.…”

Immunohistochemical Expression of Nkx3.1 in Prostatic Adenocarcinoma and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi

“…By 50 years, about 50% of men are recognized as BPH, and 70% of men aged 70 years or over generally suer from this lesion. 6 Even though certain distinctive histological features on biopsy are decisive for diagnosing prostate cancer, including perineural invasion, the diagnosis is based on an array of morphological features, including gross and histological, cytological, and ancillary findings. H and E staining alone cannot be used to establish, and therefore, the advent of Immunohistochemistry has revolutionized the eld of histopathology and helped histopathologists make appropriate diagnoses 7 Various immunohistochemical markers have been utilized to diagnose prostate cancer.…”
