Emergency Cardiac Surgery (ECS) is a component of cardiothoracic training. Citations are considered to represent a papers influence. Bibliometric analyses allow us to identify the most influential work, and future research. We aim to highlight the key research themes within ECS and determine their potential impact on cardiothoracic training.
Thomas Reuters Web of Science was searched using terms [Emergency AND Card* AND Surg*]. Results were ranked by citation and reviewed by a panel of cardiac surgeons to identify the top 100 cited papers relevant to ECS. Papers were analysed by topic, journal and impact. Regression analysis was used to determine a link between impact factor and scientific impact.
3823 papers were identified. Median citations for the top 100 was 88. The paper with the highest impact was by Nashef et al. focusing on the use of EuroSCORE (2043 citations). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery published most papers (n = 18:1778 citations). The European Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery coveted the most citations (n = 2649). The USA published most papers (n = 55).The most ubiquitous topics were; risk stratification, circulatory support and aortic surgery. A positive relationship between journal impact fact and the scientific impact of manuscripts in ECS (P = 0.043) was deduced.
This study is the first of its kind and identified the papers which are likely to the contribute most to training and understanding of ECS. A papers influence is partially determined by journal impact factor. Bibliometric analysis is a potent tool to identify surgical training needs.
急诊心脏外科手术(ECS)是心胸外科培训的一个组成部分。被引次数被认为代表了一篇论文的影响力。文献计量分析使我们能够识别最具影响力的研究工作以及未来的研究方向。我们旨在突出ECS领域的关键研究主题,并确定它们对心胸外科培训的潜在影响。
使用检索词[Emergency AND Card* AND Surg*]在汤森路透科学网进行检索。结果按被引次数排序,并由一组心脏外科医生进行评审,以确定与ECS相关的被引次数最多的前100篇论文。对这些论文按主题、期刊和影响力进行分析。采用回归分析来确定影响因子与科学影响力之间的联系。
共识别出3823篇论文。前100篇论文的中位数被引次数为88次。影响力最大的论文是Nashef等人撰写的,聚焦于欧洲心脏手术风险评估系统(EuroSCORE)的应用(2043次被引)。《胸外科年鉴》发表的论文最多(n = 18篇,共1778次被引)。《欧洲心胸外科杂志》获得的被引次数最多(n = 2649次)。美国发表的论文最多(n = 55篇)。最普遍的主题是:风险分层、循环支持和主动脉手术。推断出期刊影响因子与ECS领域手稿的科学影响力之间存在正相关关系(P = 0.043)。
本研究尚属首次,识别出了可能对ECS培训和理解贡献最大的论文。一篇论文的影响力部分由期刊影响因子决定。文献计量分析是识别外科培训需求的有力工具。
