There are few literatures comprehensively analyzed the global research in hip prosthesis joint infections (HPJI). We aim to clarify the global research trends and analysis the top 10 cited articles in the HPJI field.
We identified the core collection of articles/reviews in the HPJI field from 2001 to 2021 through the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). VOSviewer and online bibliometric tool were used to conduct the visualized and knowledge maps. Annual trends of publications, research hotspots and the top 10 cited articles were analyzed.
A total of 5,477 publications were finally included. Generally, an increasing trend was observed in the number of publications from 2001 to 2021. The authors, journals and institutions with largest number of publications all belong to the USA. Co-occurrence analysis of keywords showed that surgical techniques, risk factors, revision surgery strategy, epidemiology, diagnoses and prevention were the 6 major research directions. Total hip arthroplasty, replacement, outcomes, risk factors and diagnosis were the keywords that occurred most frequently. The top 10 cited articles were all published in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Q1 journals, providing valuable reference value from the perspectives of clinical guidelines, perioperative management, causes and diagnostic methods of infection, epidemiological investigation, risk factors and prognostic analysis.
The number of publications in HPJI field had been on the rise over the past 20 years, from disease management to prevention. An intensive reading of the top 10 cited articles is beneficial to understand the focus of HPJI research comprehensively.
很少有文献全面分析髋关节假体关节感染（HPJI）的全球研究情况。我们旨在阐明全球研究趋势，并分析HPJI领域被引用次数排名前十的文章。
我们通过科学网核心合集（WOSCC）确定了2001年至2021年HPJI领域的核心文章/综述合集。使用VOSviewer和在线文献计量工具进行可视化和知识图谱分析。分析了出版物的年度趋势、研究热点以及被引用次数排名前十的文章。
最终共纳入5477篇出版物。总体而言，2001年至2021年出版物数量呈上升趋势。发表文章数量最多的作者、期刊和机构均来自美国。关键词共现分析表明，手术技术、危险因素、翻修手术策略、流行病学、诊断和预防是6个主要研究方向。全髋关节置换术、置换、结局、危险因素和诊断是出现频率最高的关键词。被引用次数排名前十的文章均发表在期刊引证报告（JCR）的Q1区期刊上，从临床指南、围手术期管理、感染的原因和诊断方法、流行病学调查、危险因素和预后分析等角度提供了有价值的参考。
在过去20年中，HPJI领域的出版物数量一直在增加，研究重点从疾病管理转向预防。精读被引用次数排名前十的文章有助于全面了解HPJI研究的重点。
