To identify and characterize the top-cited articles on idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
We used "Web of Science database" to identify the top-cited articles published between the years of 1975-2017. The articles were evaluated using citation count and other factors that have an effect on the citation count.
The search yielded a total of 2,141 articles and the most frequently cited articles received between 58-476 citations. Most articles were published between the years 1990-1999. The most popular study design involved natural history studies. USA ranked first in productivity with 72 articles and the leading institution was University of Iowa. The journal "Neurology" published the greatest number of articles. In assessing the specialties, neurology contributed to 32% of top 100 articles. There was no correlation between the citation count and number of references, years since publication, number of authors, authors' H-index, and number of institutions that had collaborated. There were positive correlations between the citation count and journal impact factor, Scimago journal rank and journal source-normalized impact per paper values. While descriptive keywords were more frequent between 1980s and 1990s, keywords describing surgical management options such as "nerve sheath decompression" and "cerebrospinal-fluid diversion" were top-listed keywords after the year 2000.
Our study can help researchers identify the most significant and impactful articles on idiopathic intracranial hypertension, as well as to provide insight into the most noteworthy scientific trends and to visualize future research needs of the topic.
确定并描述特发性颅内高压的高引文献。
我们使用“Web of Science 数据库”，检索了 1975 年至 2017 年间发表的高引文献。通过引文计数和影响引文计数的其他因素评估这些文献。
搜索共得到 2141 篇文章，最常被引的文章获得了 58-476 次引用。大多数文章发表于 1990-1999 年。最受欢迎的研究设计是自然史研究。美国在生产力方面排名第一，有 72 篇文章，领先的机构是爱荷华大学。发表文章最多的期刊是《神经病学》。在评估专业领域时，神经病学对前 100 篇文章的贡献达到了 32%。引文计数与参考文献数量、发表年限、作者数量、作者 h 指数和合作机构数量之间没有相关性。引文计数与期刊影响因子、Scimago 期刊排名和期刊归一化影响因子呈正相关。虽然描述性关键词在 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代更为常见，但描述手术管理选择的关键词，如“神经鞘减压”和“脑脊液分流”，在 2000 年后成为了高列表关键词。
本研究可以帮助研究人员识别特发性颅内高压最有意义和最有影响力的文献，深入了解该领域最显著的科学趋势，并可视化该主题未来的研究需求。
