An increase in the number of publications on social media has paralleled the growth of social media use in the past decade. Our study examined the trends in these publications relating to the fields of dermatology, pathology, and dermatopathology.
PubMed was searched for relevant literature from 2009 to present, using the following key terms: "social media", "dermatology", "dermatopathology", and "pathology." Topics of articles, years of publication, countries of origin, and contributing journals were compiled and analyzed.
A total of 99 publications was retrieved during the period between January 2009 and November 2019. Top publication years included 2019 (n = 21), 2018 (n = 24), 2017 (n = 20), and 2016 (n = 13). The most common topic areas noted were related to dissemination of information (n = 17; 17.2%), knowledge exchange for physicians (n = 16; 16.2%), and social networking (n = 15; 15.2%).
The number of published articles on social media in these specialties has increased since 2009, signifying the widespread use of social media for professional networking, knowledge exchange, real-time communication with patients and colleagues, and patient care. Social media in the areas of dermatology, dermatopathology, and pathology has undergone social construction during the past decade because of changes in technology and ideologies surrounding the use of social media within medicine.
在过去十年中，社交媒体上发表的文章数量的增长与社交媒体使用的增长同步。我们的研究调查了这些与皮肤病学、病理学和皮肤病理学领域相关的出版物的趋势。
在PubMed中搜索2009年至今的相关文献，使用以下关键词：“社交媒体”、“皮肤病学”、“皮肤病理学”和“病理学”。对文章主题、发表年份、原产国和相关期刊进行整理和分析。
在2009年1月至2019年11月期间共检索到99篇出版物。发表最多的年份包括2019年（n = 21）、2018年（n = 24）、2017年（n = 20）和2016年（n = 13）。最常见的主题领域是信息传播（n = 17；17.2%）、医生知识交流（n = 16；16.2%）和社交网络（n = 15；15.2%）。
自2009年以来，这些专业领域在社交媒体上发表的文章数量有所增加，表示社交媒体在专业网络、知识交流、与患者和同事的实时沟通以及患者护理方面的广泛使用。由于医学领域内围绕社交媒体使用的技术和意识形态的变化，皮肤病学、皮肤病理学和病理学领域的社交媒体在过去十年中经历了社会建构。
