Dermoscopy is a useful method allowing the non-invasive visualization of dermal and epidermal structures.
To determine the scientific output in dermoscopy between 1985 and 2009 using ISI Web of Knowledge.
The ISI Web of Knowledge was searched for articles on dermoscopy published between 1985 and 2009 using appropriate terms. Articles were characterized each year by publication type and journal type.
The search yielded 1490 dermoscopy publications, of which 1198 (80%) appeared in dermatology journals. A cubic increase in the number of publications over time was observed (R(2) = 95.3%, P < 0.0001). Most of these publications were published in high-impact dermatologic journals, including Archives of Dermatology (209, 14%), Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (161, 10.8%) and British Journal of Dermatology (113, 7.6%). Italy produced 29% of all articles followed by the United States with 22% and Austria with 15%. The number of dermoscopy publications associated with a given country correlated with melanoma incidence and Growth Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of that country (r = 0517 P = 0.02, and r = 0486 P = 0.03 respectively).
The number of scientific publications in the field of dermoscopy has increased significantly over the past 25 years. Italy, the United States and Austria have dominated the field of dermoscopy.
皮肤镜检查是一种有用的方法，可以非侵入性地观察皮肤和表皮结构。
使用 ISI Web of Knowledge 确定 1985 年至 2009 年期间在皮肤镜检查方面的科学产出。
使用适当的术语，在 ISI Web of Knowledge 中搜索 1985 年至 2009 年期间发表的有关皮肤镜检查的文章。每年根据出版物类型和期刊类型对文章进行特征描述。
搜索结果得到 1490 篇皮肤镜检查文献，其中 1198 篇（80%）发表在皮肤科期刊上。随着时间的推移，出版物数量呈立方增加（R(2) = 95.3%，P < 0.0001）。这些出版物大多发表在高影响力的皮肤科期刊上，包括《皮肤病学文献》（209 篇，占 14%）、《美国皮肤病学会杂志》（161 篇，占 10.8%）和《英国皮肤病学杂志》（113 篇，占 7.6%）。意大利生产的文章占所有文章的 29%，其次是美国占 22%，奥地利占 15%。与给定国家相关的皮肤镜检查出版物数量与该国的黑色素瘤发病率和人均国内生产总值（GDP）相关（r = 0517 P = 0.02，r = 0486 P = 0.03）。
在过去的 25 年中，皮肤镜检查领域的科学出版物数量显著增加。意大利、美国和奥地利在皮肤镜检查领域占据主导地位。
