To use bibliometric analysis to understand characteristics and trends in the research on chronic venous disease (CVD), which affects patients’ quality of life by causing pain, swelling, and ulceration.
We searched the Thomson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database to identify the 100 most-cited manuscripts on CVD. The resulting articles were analyzed by title, author, institution, topic, year of publication, and country of origin.
The published the most manuscripts on CVD (n = 36) and was the most-cited journal (n = 5356). The United Kingdom was the country with the greatest number of publications (n = 32). Imperial College London was the institution with the highest number of publications (n = 6). Endovenous thermal ablation was the most widely studied research specialty (n = 30).
Our analysis showed that the majority of CVD research is carried out in Western countries, and that the number of research studies is increasing in line with recent advances in CVD.
运用文献计量分析了解慢性静脉疾病（CVD）研究的特点和趋势，该病可导致疼痛、肿胀和溃疡，从而影响患者的生活质量。
我们检索了汤姆森路透科技信息引文索引数据库，以确定 CVD 方面被引频次最高的 100 篇论文。对这些文章的标题、作者、机构、主题、发表年份和来源国家进行分析。
英国伦敦帝国学院发表的 CVD 相关论文数量最多（n=36），也是被引频次最高的期刊（n=5356）。英国发表的 CVD 相关论文数量最多（n=32）。静脉内热消融术是研究最多的专业领域（n=30）。
我们的分析表明，大多数 CVD 研究是在西方国家进行的，而且随着 CVD 的最新进展，研究数量也在不断增加。
