          Abstract

          Purpose:

          The infection is an essential problem in the clinical practice in orthopedics. The bibliometric analysis was conducted to evaluate the top 100 cited articles on infection in orthopaedics.

          Methods:

          The Web of Science (WoS) Core Database was comprehensively searched from 1975 to 2017, and the literature search was limited in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E). The subject terms included “infection”, “infectious”, and “infect∗”. All retrieved articles were filtrated by selecting the subspecialty of “Orthopedics”. The searching results were listed by citation times to identify the top 100 cited articles. Significant information was elicited, including the authors, journals, countries, institutions, published year, and types of publication.

          Results:

          A significant increase was observed in the number of annual publications focusing on infection in orthopedics worldwide. Each of the top 100 cited articles was cited more than 150 times. Total citation times was positively associated with citation times in 2016 ( P <.01) and mean citation times per year ( P <.01). Conversely, age of the article was negatively associated with citation times in 2016 ( P <.01) and mean citation times per year ( P <.01). Besides, citation times in 2016 was positively related to mean citation times per year ( P <.01). The United States was the most productive country, surgery was the most popular subspecialty and Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume was the most popular journal.

          Conclusion:

          Infection in orthopaedics has attracted more and more researchers’ concern. As for the top 100 cited articles, there were significant relationships among total citation times, citation times in 2016 and mean citation times per year as well as age of the article. The United States was the most productive country, surgery was the most popular subspecialty and Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume was the most popular journal.

          Albumin and surgical site infection risk in orthopaedics: a meta-analysis

          Peizhi Yuwen, Wei-Wei Chen, Hongzhi Lv … (2017)
          Backgroud Surigical site infection has been a challenge for surgeons for many years, the prevalence of serum albumin 3.5 was 2.39 (95 % CI 1.57 3.64), which was statistically significant (z = 4.06, P < 0.0001). Heterogeneity were found in the pooled MD of albumin and in the pooled RR for infection (P = 0.05, I2 = 61 % and P = 0.003, I2 = 68 %). No publication bias occurred based on two basically symmetrical funnel plots. Conclusion Our meta-analysis demonstrated that an albumin level <3.5 g/dL had an almost 2.5 fold increased risk of SSI in orthopaedics, although this conclusion requires well-designed prospective cohort studies to be confirmed further.

            The hundred most-cited publications in orthopaedic knee research.

            Sufian S. Ahmad, Dimitrios Evangelopoulos, M Abbasian … (2014)
            Despite its limitations, citation analysis remains one of the best currently available tools for quantifying the impact of articles. Bibliometric studies list the "best-sellers" in a single location, and they have been published frequently in many fields during recent years. The purpose of the present study was to report the qualities and characteristics of citation classics in orthopaedic knee research.

              Worldwide research productivity in the field of spine surgery: a 10-year bibliometric analysis.

              Meiyang Wei, Wanming Wang, Yanfeng Zhuang (2016)
              Bibliometrics is increasingly used to assess the quantity and quality of scientific research output in many research fields worldwide. However, the bibliometric studies in the field of spine surgery are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the worldwide research productivity in the field of spine surgery using bibliometric methods and to provide an insight into the spine research for surgeons and researchers.
