Citation analysis is a fundamental method in bibliometrics for quantifying the impact and contribution of articles on a specific biomedical field. The purpose of our study was to identify and analyze the top 100 cited articles in the field of EUS.
All published articles in the field of EUS were searched by using "endoscopic ultrasound" and its synonyms as the search terms without time limit. The Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science Core database was searched to determine the citations. The top 100 cited articles were identified and further evaluated for characteristics including publication year, authors, journals, impact factor, countries, institutions, article type, topic term, and evidence grade, among others.
A total of 430 articles were cited more than 100 times. The 100 most-cited articles were published between 1988 and 2018, and the medium citation was 240.5 (104.25). The top 100 cited articles mainly focused on diagnostic performance (80%) and interventional therapy (20%). The numbers of articles studying the diagnostic accuracy of FNA ( = 29) and tumor diagnosis ( = 29) were the highest among research articles on FNA and EUS of diagnostic categories, and EUS transluminal drainage ( = 14) was the most frequently used EUS technique for therapy. The focus of the majority of the articles was on diseases of pancreas ( = 55), and among the 55 articles related to pancreatic diseases, pancreatic cancer ( = 17) and solid pancreatic masses ( = 13) were the most researched topics. In addition, we found that the proportions of diagnostic and treatment-related articles at different time periods have statistical significance ( < 0.05).
Our analysis provides an insight into the top 100 articles in the field of EUS, revealing EUS-guided FNA, tumor staging, and transluminal drainage as the major advances in the past 35 years. Pancreatic diseases were the most researched, especially pancreatic cancer or solid pancreatic masses. Our research has found that the number of articles on the application of EUS treatment has significantly increased.
引文分析是文献计量学中用于量化文章对特定生物医学领域的影响和贡献的一种基本方法。我们研究的目的是识别和分析超声内镜（EUS）领域被引用次数最多的100篇文章。
以“内镜超声”及其同义词作为检索词，不限时间，检索EUS领域所有已发表的文章。检索科学信息研究所的《科学引文索引》核心数据库以确定文章的被引次数。确定被引用次数最多的100篇文章，并进一步评估其特征，包括发表年份、作者、期刊、影响因子、国家、机构、文章类型、主题词和证据等级等。
共有430篇文章被引用超过100次。被引用次数最多的100篇文章发表于1988年至2018年之间，中位被引次数为240.5（104.25）。被引用次数最多的100篇文章主要集中在诊断性能（80%）和介入治疗（20%）。在FNA和EUS诊断类别的研究文章中，研究FNA诊断准确性（n = 29）和肿瘤诊断（n = 29）的文章数量最多，EUS腔内引流（n = 14）是最常用的EUS治疗技术。大多数文章的重点是胰腺疾病（n = 55），在这55篇与胰腺疾病相关的文章中，胰腺癌（n = 17）和胰腺实性肿块（n = 13）是研究最多的主题。此外，我们发现不同时间段诊断和治疗相关文章的比例具有统计学意义（P < 0.05）。
我们的分析深入了解了EUS领域被引用次数最多的100篇文章，揭示了EUS引导下的FNA、肿瘤分期和腔内引流是过去35年中的主要进展。胰腺疾病是研究最多的，尤其是胰腺癌或胰腺实性肿块。我们的研究发现，关于EUS治疗应用的文章数量显著增加。
