The high incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children, combined with the challenges in diagnosis and treatment options, the difficulty of predicting the outcome of each case, and also the wide variety of possibly lifelong complications, has led to an extraordinary number of published papers regarding this topic. This bibliometric analysis is aimed at identifying and reviewing the 100 most cited papers in the most challenging and trending aspects of pediatric traumatic brain injury.
A search was performed using the Web of Science database in October 2018. Results were organized by citation number, and the 100 most cited papers were further reviewed and analyzed.
Our search resulted in 2754 published papers from 1975 until October 2018, of which 1783 (64.74%) had been published in the last decade (2010-2018). The 100 most cited papers about traumatic brain injury in children have an average citation of 140.59 and have been published in 44 different journals. Four hundred thirty-five authors have contributed to these prominent articles, most of them from the USA.
By reviewing those highly cited papers, we sought to offer significant help not only for studying this challenging field but also for designing new studies.
儿童创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的高发率，加上诊断和治疗选择的挑战、每个病例结果预测的困难，以及可能终身存在的各种并发症，使得关于这个主题的发表论文数量非常多。本文献计量分析旨在确定和回顾儿童创伤性脑损伤最具挑战性和最热门方面的 100 篇最具引用价值的论文。
我们于 2018 年 10 月使用 Web of Science 数据库进行了搜索。结果按照引用次数进行组织，对前 100 篇最具引用价值的论文进行了进一步的审查和分析。
我们的搜索结果从 1975 年到 2018 年 10 月共发表了 2754 篇论文，其中 1783 篇（64.74%）发表于过去十年（2010-2018 年）。关于儿童创伤性脑损伤的 100 篇最具引用价值的论文的平均引用率为 140.59，发表在 44 种不同的期刊上。435 位作者为这些重要文章做出了贡献，其中大多数来自美国。
通过回顾这些高被引论文，我们不仅旨在为研究这一具有挑战性的领域提供重要帮助，而且还旨在为设计新的研究提供帮助。
