Bibliometric analysis.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a typical surgical method in spine surgery and has progressed significantly in the last several decades. The purpose of this study is to determine how the 100 most-cited original articles on ACDF have been the most influential in this field by identifying and analyzing them.
The articles on ACDF were identified by searching the Thomson ISI Web of Science database on 30 May 2022. The 100 most-cited articles were selected according to specific criteria. The data extracted from the articles included title, publication date, total citations, journal name, first author, institutions, and keywords.
The total number of citations was 13,181, with a mean number of 131.81 ± 100.18. The publication dates ranged from 1994 to 2018. Most of these articles originated in the United States (68%) and were published in the 2000s (32%) and 2010s (48%). Spine published most of the articles (30%), followed by the Journal of Neurosurgery-Spine (16%), Spine Journal (14%), and European Spine Journal (13%). The most prolific author was Dr. Todd J Albert ( = 7), with 1,312 citations. The Texas Back Institute was the most productive institution ( = 10). The keywords ACDF, cervical spine, cervical spine, and fusion showed the highest degree of centrality.
One hundred top-cited articles on ACDF were identified and analyzed in this study. We demonstrate that ACDF is a growing and popular area of research, with the focus of research varying through timeline trends. This will provide a comprehensive and detailed basis for spine surgeons to make clinical decisions and assimilate the research focus of cervical spine surgery.
文献计量分析。
颈椎前路椎间盘切除融合术（ACDF）是脊柱外科的一种典型手术方法，在过去几十年中有了显著进展。本研究的目的是通过识别和分析关于ACDF被引用次数最多的100篇原创文章，来确定它们在该领域的影响力。
2022年5月30日通过搜索汤姆森ISI科学网数据库识别关于ACDF的文章。根据特定标准选择被引用次数最多的100篇文章。从文章中提取的数据包括标题、发表日期、总引用次数、期刊名称、第一作者、机构和关键词。
总引用次数为13181次，平均引用次数为131.81±100.18次。发表日期从1994年到2018年。这些文章大多起源于美国（68%），发表于21世纪00年代（32%）和10年代（48%）。《脊柱》发表的文章最多（30%），其次是《神经外科杂志 - 脊柱》（16%）、《脊柱杂志》（14%）和《欧洲脊柱杂志》（13%）。最多产的作者是托德·J·阿尔伯特博士（=7篇），被引用1312次。德克萨斯背部研究所是最具生产力的机构（=10篇）。关键词ACDF、颈椎、颈椎和融合显示出最高的中心度。
本研究识别并分析了关于ACDF被引用次数最多的100篇文章。我们证明ACDF是一个不断发展且热门的研究领域，研究重点随时间趋势而变化。这将为脊柱外科医生做出临床决策和了解颈椎手术的研究重点提供全面而详细的依据。
