“…These recommendations are based on the most prominent theories on PD etiology to date.

Background: Pneumosinus dilatans (PD) is a rare condition in which one or more paranasal sinuses are pathologically hyperaerated. Patients commonly present with an aesthetic complaint, however it has been associated with several serious conditions. The etiology is largely theoretical and the management remains unstandardized, potentially leading to missed diagnoses. This article aims to establish a presumptive classification scheme and management algorithm based on a comprehensive review of the literature. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of all available publications on the search term ''Pneumosinus dilatans'' was conducted in PubMed. Associated conditions were identified and clustered based on the number and anatomic location of the sinuses involved. The resultant data was used to formulate an evidencebased algorithm for the evaluation and management of PD patients. Results: A total of 145 patients from 103 articles were included. The majority of patients were male (57.2%) with an average age of 32.6 years-old at onset. The frontal sinus was most commonly involved (62.8%) and one pathologic sinus was most common (84.6%). 51% of patients presented with an associated condition; with it least common in frontal sinus PD (29.7% cases) and most common in ethmoid sinus PD (81.5%). To date, no articles to date have proposed a management algorithm for PD based on the number or location of sinus involved. Conclusions: A standardized evidence-based management algorithm and classification scheme for patients with PD will not only lead to the highest-quality treatment, but will also be instrumental in elucidating an etiology for this rare, and potentially serious, condition.

“…Most of the latter were systematic reviews, which are generally associated with a higher level of evidence. The changes are considered favourable and could reflect improvement in study design and quality, which may be associated with a greater impact [ 4 , 6 , 12 ].…”

“…The number of citations an article receives is arguably the most important indicator of its impact and clinical importance [ 4 ]. Identification of the predictors of citation rates is useful for researchers and journals in order to boost the impact of their work [ 4 ]. In this study, the duration from publication, sample size, and study type were significant predictors of annual citation rates of Saudi publications in the international neurosurgical literature during the whole study period (1991-2020).…”

“…Citation analysis, which is the assessment of the frequency and patterns of articles, is one of the most commonly used measures. Other parameters include the total number of publications, number of authors, number of institutions, number of countries, publishing journal's impact factor (IF), study population size, study type, and level of evidence (LOE) [4][5][6].…”

This review is a bibliometric analysis of the contribution of neurosurgeons from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to the international neurosurgical literature over the last three decades. The study aimed at determining changes in publication trends over time and assessing the impact of these changes on citation numbers. All publications in the PubMed-indexed neurosurgical journals that were authored by at least one Saudi neurosurgeon were selected. The articles were divided into two study groups according to publication year whether during the last decade (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020) or the previous two decades (1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010). Changes in publication trends were determined by comparing the bibliometric characteristics of the articles in both groups. The impact of the changes on citation numbers was assessed by correlating the annual citation rates for the articles with their bibliometric qualities.A total of 352 publications were suitable for the review (200 articles published during 2011-2020, and 152 during 1991-2010). Temporal changes in the publishing journals and first authors' centres and regions were observed. The articles that were published in the last decade were associated with a significantly higher annual publication rate, a greater number of authors, centres, and countries, and a larger sample size compared to those published in the previous two decades. They also had a lower percentage of Saudi total and first authorship as well as a smaller proportion of case reports. The annual citation rate was significantly impacted by the duration from publication, sample size, and study type during both study periods. However, only during the last decade, the annual citation rate was positively influenced by the journal's impact factor, number of authors, centres, countries, and percentage of Saudi authorship.We conclude that KSA neurosurgeons' contribution to international neurosurgical journals had increased considerably over the last decade. The publications were authored by neurosurgeons from a wider range of centres and regions than in the past. A bigger portion of publications had become more multi-authored, multi-centred, and multi-national as well as reported larger sample sizes and lesser rates of case reports. The changes in publication trends correlated positively with the articles' annual citation rates. The findings could be considered encouraging.
