Research is a necessity for high-quality medicine. We used the MEDLINE database to conduct a bibliometric analysis of research output with respect to primary care by 21 countries. For the period 1974 to 2017, the United States and the United Kingdom stood out in terms of publication volume, and the UK, Canada, and Australia had the greatest percentage of publications in primary care. As of 2017, publications in primary care represented a small proportion of total publications. The countries with the greatest publication productivity possess factors that should be considered with respect to strengthening research in primary care.
研究是高质量医学的必要条件。我们使用 MEDLINE 数据库对 21 个国家初级保健的研究成果进行了文献计量分析。在 1974 年至 2017 年期间，美国和英国在出版物数量方面处于领先地位，而英国、加拿大和澳大利亚在初级保健领域的出版物比例最大。截至 2017 年，初级保健领域的出版物在总出版物中所占比例较小。出版能力最强的国家拥有一些因素，这些因素应在加强初级保健研究方面加以考虑。
