BACKGROUND: Over the past 3 decades, clinicians and scholars have used and studied the stellate ganglion block (SGB) extensively, making this field a highly anticipated research hot spot. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no bibliometric analysis of the SGB until now. OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to complete multiple tasks regarding SGB research: identify the collaboration and impact of countries, institutions, journals, and authors, evaluate the knowledge base, trace the trends in hot spots, and explore the emerging topics relevant to the field. STUDY DESIGN: A bibliometric analysis. METHODS: Publications that were associated with the SGB and published between the years of 1993 and 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection on September 21st, 2023. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 were used to perform bibliometric and knowledge-map analyses. RESULTS: This study found a total of 837 publications originating from 51 countries and 1006 institutions. These articles were published in 393 journals. The United States was the country that produced the most articles focused on SGB, and the University of California, Los Angeles was the institution associated with the greatest number of publications. The anesthesiology and cardiology journals surveyed for this study published the most articles and received the most citations. Among the authors whose works were examined, Kitajima T had the greatest number of published articles, and Lipov E was the most frequently cited co-author. Five main domains of SGB research included electrical storm and refractory ventricular arrhythmia, breast cancer and climacteric medicine, post-traumatic stress disorder, pain management, and cerebrovascular diseases. The latest hot topics involving this field focused on SGB's anti-arrhythmic and anti-cerebral vasospasm effects and its treatment of long COVID syndrome. LIMITATIONS: Data were retrieved only from the WoSCC; therefore, publications in other databases might have been missed. CONCLUSION: This comprehensive bibliometric analysis conducted a complete overview of SGB research, which was helpful in furthering our understanding of research trends and locating research hot spots and gaps in this domain. This field is developing rapidly and will garner significant and continuous attention from future scholars.
背景:在过去的 30 年中,临床医生和学者广泛地使用和研究了星状神经节阻滞(SGB),使其成为一个备受关注的研究热点。据我们所知,目前还没有关于 SGB 的文献计量分析。
目的:我们的研究旨在对 SGB 研究进行多项任务:确定国家、机构、期刊和作者的合作和影响力,评估知识基础,追踪热点趋势,并探索与该领域相关的新兴主题。
研究设计:文献计量分析。
方法:从 Web of Science Core Collection 中检索了 1993 年至 2022 年间与 SGB 相关的出版物,检索日期为 2023 年 9 月 21 日。使用 CiteSpace 6.1.R6 和 VOSviewer 1.6.18 进行文献计量和知识图谱分析。
结果:本研究共发现来自 51 个国家和 1006 个机构的 837 篇出版物。这些文章发表在 393 种期刊上。美国是发表 SGB 相关文章最多的国家,加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校是发表文章最多的机构。研究中调查的麻醉学和心脏病学期刊发表的文章最多,被引频次也最高。在被检查的作者中,Kitajima T 发表的文章最多,Lipov E 是被引用最多的合著者。SGB 研究的五个主要领域包括电风暴和难治性室性心律失常、乳腺癌和更年期医学、创伤后应激障碍、疼痛管理和脑血管疾病。该领域最新的热门话题涉及 SGB 的抗心律失常和抗脑血管痉挛作用及其对长 COVID 综合征的治疗。
局限性:数据仅从 WoSCC 中检索,因此可能遗漏了其他数据库中的出版物。
结论:本研究对 SGB 研究进行了全面的文献计量分析,有助于进一步了解研究趋势,并确定该领域的研究热点和空白。该领域发展迅速,未来学者将持续关注。
