肘关节矫形器的研究与国际数据库资料分析

The research and international analysis of elbow orthosis

背景:矫形器利用蠕变或应力松弛原理增加关节被动活动度,在肘关节功能障碍康复中发挥重要作用。目的:利用Web of Science数据库文献检索和深度分析功能,对于肘关节矫形器的文献资料趋势进行多层次探讨分析。设计:文献计量学分析。资料提取:以"brace or splint or orthopaedic appliance or supporter or orthoses or orthosis(矫形器),elbow joint(肘关节)"为关键词,检索Web of Science数据库2001-01/2010-12的相关文献,并将分析结果及资料导出,以文字和图表的形式进行统计和计量分析,描述其分布特征。入选标准:纳入标准:检索与肘关节矫形器相关的文献。文献类型包括:①研究原著。②会议文章。③综述。④编辑素材。排除标准:①与文章目的无关的文献。②发表大于10年较陈旧的文献。③未发表的文章。④需电话追踪和手工检索逐一分析的文章。主要数据判定指标:以出版时间、国家地区分布、机构分布、来源期刊、文献被引情况、文献的类型、发表文献的作者分布以及学科类别进行相关分析。结果:Web of Science数据库2001/2010收录的文献中共检索到211篇肘关节矫形器的相关文献,研究原著以175篇位居首位,其中有7篇可以确定为经典文献,文献数量在时间分布上2001/2010总体呈上升趋势,Journal of Hand Therapy《手治疗杂志》发表文献量最多,12篇,占全部文献的5.69%。结论:通过文献计量学方法对来源于Web of Science数据库关于肘关节矫形器的文献进行分析,可为了解该领域的概貌、现状和研究者进一步确定热点难点提供有价值的参考。

BACKGROUND：The orthosis,which creeps or stresses relaxation principle to increase joint passive activity,plays an important role in the rehabilitation of the elbow joint dysfunction.OBJECTIVE：To multivariately analyze the literature on the elbow orthosis through Web of Science database and its analysis tool.DESIGN：Bibliometric analysis.DATA RETRIEVAL：A retrieval was performed for the literature of the elbow orthosis,including brace or splint or orthopaedic appliance or supporter or orthoses or orthosis,elbow joint during 2001-01 and 2010-12 in Web of Science database.The retrieval results were analyzed,and the trends were described in words and graphics.SELECTIVE CRITERIA：Articles on the elbow orthosis included the following types：（1）Peer-reviewed original paper;（2）Proceeding papers;（3）Reviews;（4）Editorial materials.Exclusive criteria included（1）Articles unrelated to the study of the elbow orthosis.（2）Articles published before 2001.（3）Articles which were not published on journals.（4）Articles which need to be retrieved by phone or manually.MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS：The literatures were analyzed by publication year,journal distribution,discipline distribution,citation frequency,national distribution,institutional information and authors.RESULTS：A total of 211 literatures on the elbow orthosis were retrieved in Web of Science database,in which most of paper were published as original articles.Seven articles were identified as classic literature.The overall number of literature had an upward trend from 2001 to 2010.Journal of Hand Therapy published most papers in this field（n=12,5.69%）.CONCLUSION：This paper provides a valuable reference for researchers to understand the overview and present situation of this field in order to set further research.
