Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is a serious clinical problem after Arthroplasty. The research field on PJI is emerging, but there is a paucity of information on the most impactful publications on it. This prompted us to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the global research output, from 2003 to 2022, to identify the growth of publications, the key players in this research field and to evaluate the characteristics of highly-cited publications (HCPs) on the PJI.
Publications related to PJI research were identified globally from the Scopus database, using specific keywords, covering the literature from 2003 to 2022. The HCPs were considered those with 100 or more citations. Information on publication year, citation count, funding sources, title, author, journal, country, institution, research area, and strategic keywords were collected from these HCPs. Publication data was imported into Microsoft Excel and analyzed further using VOSviewer and R software.
There were 182 HCPs (3.12%), which received a total citation of 124701 (average CPP of 21.41), with the citation range from 100 to 1921. Research articles were the most predominant publications (69.2%), but their average citations per paper (CPP) of 189.78 was lower than that of Review articles (average CPP: 253.17). The USA has been the leading country in terms of total publications (31.58%), and HCPs (36.99%), followed by Switzerland, Spain, UK and China. There were no HCPs from developing countries. J. Parvizi of Thomas Jefferson University, USA (with a total publications of 31 and an average CPP of 315.7), and W. Zimmerli of Basel University, Switzerland (with a TP of 11 and an average CPP of 341.9), were the most productive and impactful authors in PJI global research output.
This bibliometric analysis identified the most productive and impactful authors, organizations, countries, and journals in the research of PJI, of the last two decades.
人工关节感染（PJI）是关节置换术后的一个严重临床问题。PJI的研究领域正在兴起，但关于该领域最具影响力的出版物的信息却很少。这促使我们对2003年至2022年全球研究产出进行文献计量分析，以确定出版物的增长情况、该研究领域的关键参与者，并评估PJI领域高被引出版物（HCPs）的特征。
使用特定关键词从Scopus数据库中全球范围内识别与PJI研究相关的出版物，涵盖2003年至2022年的文献。高被引出版物被认为是那些被引用100次或以上的出版物。从这些高被引出版物中收集出版年份、被引次数、资金来源、标题、作者、期刊、国家、机构、研究领域和战略关键词等信息。将出版数据导入Microsoft Excel，并使用VOSviewer和R软件进行进一步分析。
共有182篇高被引出版物（占3.12%），总被引次数为124701次（平均每篇被引次数为21.41次），被引范围从100次到1921次。研究论文是最主要的出版物类型（占69.2%），但其每篇论文的平均被引次数（189.78次）低于综述文章（平均每篇被引次数：253.17次）。美国在总出版物数量（占31.58%）和高被引出版物数量（占36.99%）方面一直领先，其次是瑞士、西班牙、英国和中国。没有来自发展中国家的高被引出版物。美国托马斯杰斐逊大学的J. Parvizi（总出版物数量为31篇，平均每篇被引次数为315.7次）和瑞士巴塞尔大学的W. Zimmerli（总出版物数量为11篇，平均每篇被引次数为341.9次）是PJI全球研究产出中最有生产力和影响力的作者。
这项文献计量分析确定了过去二十年中PJI研究领域最有生产力和影响力的作者、组织、国家和期刊。
