基于文献计量学分析挥鞭样损伤的研究热点及趋势

Analysis of research hotspots and trends of whiplash injury based on bibliometrics

目的 基于文献计量学分析挥鞭样损伤(WI)的研究热点及趋势。方法 检索Web of Science?Core Collection数据库,检索时限为1999年1月1日至2022年12月31日,搜集WI的相关文献,采用CiteSpace6.1.R6软件分析年度发文量变化趋势、国家/地区发文量、研究机构发文量、作者发文量,并进行关键词共现分析、关键词聚类分析、关键词突现分析。结果 1999—2022年Web of Science?Core Collection数据库收录的WI相关文献共2 790篇,年度发文量总体呈现波动上升的趋势。发文量排名前三的国家为美国、澳大利亚、加拿大。发文量排名前三的研究机构是昆士兰大学、阿尔伯塔大学、悉尼大学。发文量排名前三的作者为Sterling M、Cote P、Nijs J。关键词共349个,出现频次最高的关键词是颈痛、挥鞭样损伤、损伤。关键词可形成8个聚类,分别为颈痛、颈椎、本体感觉、挥鞭样损伤、恢复、效度、中枢敏化、核磁共振。生活质量、慢性挥鞭伤、创伤性脑损伤、中/重度残疾、心理测量特性、震荡等为WI研究领域未来的研究趋势。结论 WI研究热度总体呈现波动上升趋势,研究热点集中于颈痛、挥鞭样损伤、本体感觉、中枢敏化、核磁共振成像等方面,改善患者生活质量、关注患者心理状态、促进慢性WI患者康复、尽早识别合并颅脑损伤的WI患者或将是该领域未来的研究趋势。

Objective To analyze the research hotspots and trends of whiplash injury(WI)based on bibliometrics.Methods Literature related to WI was retrieved from the database of Web of Science™Core Collection from 1st January,1999 to 31st December,2022.The CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software was used to analyze change trends of the annual number of publications,number of publications by countries/regions,number of publications by research institutions,number of publications by authors,and to perform keywords co-occurrence analysis,keywords cluster analysis,and keywords burstness analysis.Results There were 2790 literature related to WI included by the database of Web of Science™Core Collection form 1999 to 2022 in total,and the annual number of publications generally exhibited a fluctuating upward trend.The top three countries in terms of the number of publications were the United States of America,Australia,and Canada.The top three research institutions in terms of the number of publications were University of Queensland,University of Alberta,and University of Sydney.The top three authors in terms of the number of publications were Sterling M,Cote P,and Nijs J.There were 349 keywords,and keywords with the highest frequency were neck pain,whiplash injury,and injury.Eight clusters could be formed by the keywords,which were neck pain,cervical spine,proprioception,whiplash injury,recovery,validity,central sensitization,and magnetic resonance imaging.Quality of life,chronic whiplash injury,traumatic cerebral injury,moderate/severe disability,psychometric properties,and concussion,etc.,would be the future research trends in WI research fields.Conclusion Research heat of WI generally exhibits a fluctuating upward trend,and research hotspots focus on neck pain,whiplash injury,proprioception,central sensitization,magnetic resonance imaging,and other aspects.Ameliorating patients'life quality,paying attention to psychological state in patients,promoting chronic WI patients'recovery,and identifying patients with WI and concomitant craniocerebral injury as soon as possible may be the future research trends of this fields.
