Management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Pregnancy: A Bibliometric Analysis (2000-2020)

Abstract

BackgroundGiven the increasing number and survival rates of reproductive-age patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), several studies aimed to elucidate optimum disease management in pregnancy. This study aimed to use bibliometric analysis to assess focus and reported insights, as well as future trends, in CML and pregnancy research.MethodsWe extracted all studies related to CML and pregnancy from the Web of Science database from 2001 to 2020. VOS Viewer, CiteSpace, Python, and R-bibliometrix were used for bibliometric analysis, revealing the leading research countries, institutions, and authors, as well as distribution of keywords (frequency greater than five).ResultsA total of 196 records, published in 137 journals by 1,105 authors from 421 research institutes in 50 countries, were identified for analysis. The United States was the leader in the number of publications. Imperial College London and National Research Center for Hematology were the most influential institutions. In addition, Apperley J, Cortes J, Abruzzese E and Kantarjian H were the leading authors in the field. Keyword analysis identified four research hotspot clusters.ConclusionsThis study systematically analyzed the progress in CML and pregnancy research in the last 20 years. The present findings suggest that the management of planned and unplanned pregnancies in patients with CML will remain a research focus, as further evidence is required for the development of treatment guidelines.

Global trends in research of immune cells associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: A 20-year bibliometric analyses (from 2001 to 2021)

“…This indicates that the interest in HDP and immune cells research has surged in recent years and this area will remain a popular research in the coming years. The number of publications in a research area can reflect the level of scientific research in a country or institution ( 17 ). Based on the level of contribution of the countries/regions, the USA ranked first in the number of publications, with more than a quarter of the total number of included publications, indicating its influence in the field of HDP and immune cells research.…”

Tissue expansion techniques in reconstructive surgery: a 10-year bibliometric analysis

“…The publication trend fluctuated slightly, which may be attributed to the different research directions across countries or institutions. The number of documents reflects the scientific research levels of a country or institution ( 25 ). The analysis of countries’ distribution indicated that the United States took the lead in TE research.…”
