Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes worldwide. According to World Health Organization, injuries are the leading cause of disability and death among all age groups below 60 years. This study aimed to evaluate the global research outcomes and trends, and some key bibliometric indicators in pediatric trauma. A descriptive bibliometric analysis study was designed. On June 14, 2021, an electronic search was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection database using the potential searching keywords "Pediatric AND Trauma" in the title field without any limitations. The search was performed using the Boolean search query method. The data were downloaded in plaintext and comma-separated values format. The required graphs were generated using OriginPro 2018. Furthermore, the data were transferred to HistCite™ software for bibliometric analysis. In addition, the obtained data were plotted for network visualization mapping using VOSviewer software version 1.6.15 for windows. A total of 2,269 documents were included in the final analysis. The included documents were authored by 7,894 authors and published in 395 research and academic journals, mainly in the English language ( = 2,222). The main document types were articles ( = 1,276, citations = 18,244), and meeting abstracts ( = 331, citations = 19). Pediatric ( = 2,269) and trauma ( = 2,257) were the most widely used keywords. The most productive year was 2019 ( = 184, citations = 527). The most prolific author was Upperman JS ( = 29, citations = 202). The most attractive journals in pediatric trauma research were ( = 290, citations = 5,199) and the ( = 256, citations = 5,088). The most active institute was the University of California System ( = 110). The most dominant country was the United States of America (USA) ( = 1,620, citations = 22,983). The USA and Canada had the highest total link strength, 103 and 70, respectively. This study provides a comprehensive overview of research output in pediatric trauma. The USA continues to dominate scientific research and funding in pediatric trauma. Findings of the current study will help the researchers and clinicians to understand the recent achievements and research frontiers. Collaborative research initiative needs to be established between institutions in developed and developing countries and among researchers.
每年，全球数百万儿童死于可预防的原因。根据世界卫生组织的数据，在60岁以下的所有年龄组中，伤害是导致残疾和死亡的主要原因。本研究旨在评估全球儿科创伤的研究成果与趋势以及一些关键的文献计量指标。设计了一项描述性文献计量分析研究。2021年6月14日，在Web of Science核心合集数据库中进行电子检索，在标题字段中使用潜在检索关键词“儿科与创伤”，无任何限制。检索使用布尔检索查询方法进行。数据以纯文本和逗号分隔值格式下载。使用OriginPro 2018生成所需图表。此外，将数据转移到HistCite™软件进行文献计量分析。另外，使用适用于Windows的VOSviewer软件版本1.6.15将获得的数据绘制用于网络可视化映射。最终分析共纳入2269篇文献。纳入的文献由7894位作者撰写，发表在395种研究和学术期刊上，主要为英文（=2222篇）。主要文献类型为文章（=1276篇，被引次数=18244次）和会议摘要（=331篇，被引次数=19次）。“儿科”（=2269次）和“创伤”（=2257次）是使用最广泛的关键词。产出最多的年份是2019年（=184篇，被引次数=527次）。发文量最多的作者是Upperman JS（=29篇，被引次数=202次）。儿科创伤研究中最具吸引力的期刊是《小儿外科杂志》（=290篇，被引次数=5199次）和《创伤杂志》（=256篇，被引次数=5088次）。最活跃的机构是加利福尼亚大学系统（=110篇）。最具主导地位的国家是美利坚合众国（美国）（=1620篇，被引次数=22983次）。美国和加拿大的总链接强度最高，分别为103和70。本研究全面概述了儿科创伤的研究产出。美国在儿科创伤的科研和资金方面继续占据主导地位。本研究的结果将有助于研究人员和临床医生了解近期的成就和研究前沿。发达国家和发展中国家的机构之间以及研究人员之间需要建立合作研究倡议。
