Human brucellosis is the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide, with brucella spondylitis (BS) being one of its most severe forms, potentially leading to spinal deformity or paralysis. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status and research trends in the BS field using bibliometric methods.
Publications on BS from January 1, 1980, to March 24, 2024, were retrieved from the Web of Science database. We used Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, Scimago Graphica, CiteSpace, and Microsoft Office Excel Professional Plus 2016 to analyze publication frequency, geographic distribution, institutional affiliations, international collaborations, authorship, journal sources, keyword usage, trends, and cited references.
Between January 1, 1980, and March 24, 2024, 197 publications on BS were analyzed. Turkey emerged as the leading contributor, with 62 publications, accounting for 31.47%. Weibin Sheng was the most prolific author, contributing 7 papers (3.55%). Xinjiang Medical University was the leading institution with 13 documents (6.60%). and each published 6 papers (3.05%). CiteSpace analysis highlighted "spinal brucellosis," "spondylitis," "complications," "diagnosis," and "involvement" as the core research areas in BS. Keyword clustering analysis identified 11 primary clusters representing the main research directions. Analysis of abstracts and keyword trends revealed that post-2020, emerging research frontiers include "instrumentation," "management," and "debridement."
There has been significant progress in BS research, with a steady increase in publications. Current research focuses on diagnosis and complications, while future studies may explore management and instrumentation. Increased collaboration among countries and researchers is recommended.
人类布鲁氏菌病是全球最常见的细菌性人畜共患病，布鲁氏菌性脊柱炎（BS）是其最严重的形式之一，可能导致脊柱畸形或瘫痪。本研究旨在运用文献计量学方法全面概述BS领域的现状和研究趋势。
从Web of Science数据库中检索1980年1月1日至2024年3月24日关于BS的出版物。我们使用Biblioshiny、VOSviewer、Scimago Graphica、CiteSpace和Microsoft Office Excel Professional Plus 2016来分析出版频率、地理分布、机构隶属关系、国际合作、作者身份、期刊来源、关键词使用情况、趋势和被引参考文献。
在1980年1月1日至2024年3月24日期间，共分析了197篇关于BS的出版物。土耳其是主要贡献者，有62篇出版物，占31.47%。盛伟斌是发文量最多的作者，发表了7篇论文（3.55%）。新疆医科大学是领先机构，有13篇文献（6.60%）。[此处原文似乎不完整，未明确提及另一个机构名称]和[另一个未明确的机构名称]各发表了6篇论文（3.05%）。CiteSpace分析突出了“脊柱布鲁氏菌病”“脊柱炎”“并发症”“诊断”和“累及”作为BS的核心研究领域。关键词聚类分析确定了11个主要聚类，代表了主要研究方向。对摘要和关键词趋势的分析表明，2020年后，新兴研究前沿包括“器械”“管理”和“清创术”。
BS研究取得了显著进展，出版物数量稳步增加。当前研究集中在诊断和并发症方面，而未来研究可能会探索管理和器械方面。建议各国和研究人员之间加强合作。
