Hydatidosis/cystic echinococcosis (CE) is considered a neglected disease due to its preventive nature and impact on low-income populations. In Latin America, there is a high incidence, and in the high Andean regions, it is considered an endemic disease. The objective of this study was to quantify and analyze the scientific production of hydatidosis/echinococcosis through a bibliometric analysis in Latin America up to 2022.
A bibliometric analysis study was conducted based on the scientific production of CE in the SCOPUS database until 2022 in Latin American countries. Information was collected through a systematic search. Frequencies and percentages were used to summarize the variables captured in the final database.
Scientific production showed growth over the years, with Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile having the highest production. In addition, there has been a trending use of the term "neglected disease" since 2018. The most cited articles were primarily narrative reviews, book chapters, and original articles in that order. Only 27% of the studies were funded by an institution in Latin America.
Scientific production in Latin America regarding CE is on the rise, especially in countries with high incidence rates. Furthermore, these countries demonstrate a significant network of international collaboration.
由于包虫病/囊型棘球蚴病（CE）的预防性质及其对低收入人群的影响，它被视为一种被忽视的疾病。在拉丁美洲，其发病率很高，在安第斯高海拔地区，它被视为一种地方病。本研究的目的是通过对截至2022年拉丁美洲的文献计量分析，量化和分析包虫病/棘球蚴病的科研产出。
基于SCOPUS数据库中截至2022年拉丁美洲国家CE的科研产出进行文献计量分析研究。通过系统检索收集信息。使用频率和百分比来总结最终数据库中捕获的变量。
多年来科研产出呈增长趋势，阿根廷、乌拉圭和智利的产出最高。此外，自2018年以来，“被忽视疾病”一词的使用呈上升趋势。被引用最多的文章主要依次是叙述性综述、书籍章节和原创文章。只有27%的研究由拉丁美洲的机构资助。
拉丁美洲关于CE的科研产出正在增加，尤其是在发病率高的国家。此外，这些国家展示了重要的国际合作网络。
