The number of scientific publications on movement disorders from Southeast Asia (SEA) is thought to be low. Thus, we looked at the movement disorders research productivity among SEA countries and its associations with country-specific socioeconomic factors.
We performed a systematic search for publications indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from January 2000 to December 2019 with at least one author from SEA. Bibliometric indices were used to evaluate research impact. The country-specific socioeconomic characteristics were also obtained.
Of the 9488 identified articles, 1567 met the eligibility criteria. There was an increasing trend in the total number of publications on movement disorders during the last two decades. Singapore had the highest contribution in all aspects, which highlights the impact of knowledge-based economy type in research productivity. Parkinsonism remained the most studied condition, followed by dystonia, chorea, and tremor. Among the socioeconomic factors, only % gross domestic product (GDP) for research and development showed a positive correlation on the number of publications of a country. On the other hand, GDP per capita, population size and the number of neurologist size did not affect research productivity.
An increasing trend in the movement disorders research output over the last 20 years was seen. Singapore had the highest contribution in all aspects which highlights the impact of economy in research productivity. Among the socioeconomic factors, only % GDP for R&D showed a positive impact on the number of publications of a country.
据认为，来自东南亚（SEA）的运动障碍相关科学出版物数量较少。因此，我们观察了 SEA 国家的运动障碍研究成果，并将其与特定国家的社会经济因素相关联。
我们系统地检索了 2000 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间在 PubMed、Scopus、Embase 和 Cochrane 对照试验中心注册库中收录的来自 SEA 的至少一位作者的出版物。使用文献计量学指标评估研究影响力。还获得了特定国家的社会经济特征。
在确定的 9488 篇文章中，有 1567 篇符合入选标准。在过去的二十年中，运动障碍相关出版物的总数呈上升趋势。新加坡在各个方面的贡献最大，这突出了知识型经济在研究成果中的作用。帕金森病仍然是研究最多的疾病，其次是肌张力障碍、舞蹈病和震颤。在社会经济因素中，只有研发支出占 GDP 的百分比与一个国家的出版物数量呈正相关。另一方面，人均 GDP、人口规模和神经科医生数量均未影响研究成果。
