Acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation (ADMH) includes lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP), ashy dermatosis (erythema dyschromicum perstans), and Riehl's melanosis (pigmented contact dermatitis/pigmented cosmetic dermatitis). The conditions that make up ADMH overlap in clinical and histopathological features. To conduct a bibliometric analysis to identify the top 100 most cited publications in ADMH. A Web of Science search was conducted on September 18, 2024, using the search terms "lichen planus pigmentosus," "ashy dermatosis," "erythema dyschromicum perstans," "riehl melanosis," "pigmented cosmetic dermatitis," "pigmented contact dermatitis," "acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation," or "acquired macular pigmentation of unknown aetiology" in the title or abstract of articles published between 1998 and 2024. The search was filtered to include articles, letters, reviews, and editorials in English. Data collected included title, author, publication year, times cited, journal of publication, affiliations, and country of origin. The top 100 most cited publications were ranked based on annual citation score. The top 100 most cited publications consisted of 62 articles, 24 letters (i.e., letter to the editor and comments), 8 editorials, and 6 reviews published between 1998 and 2023. The most articles were published in 2018 with 14 publications. The top contributing journals were the ( = 15, 15%) and the ( = 14, 14%). India, South Korea, and the United States contributed the most publications ( = 61, 61%) on ADMH (32, 17, and 12, respectively). India also led in having the top three corresponding authors, Muthu Sendhil Kumaran ( = 8, 8%), Keshavamurthy Vinay ( = 4, 4%), and Vinod Kumar Sharma ( = 3, 3%). This bibliometric analysis reveals a geographical concentration in ADMH research, emphasizing the need for increased research on these conditions with more global representation in future studies.
获得性皮肤斑状色素沉着（ADMH）包括扁平苔藓色素沉着（LPP）、灰皮肤病（持久性色素异常性红斑）和里尔黑变病（色素性接触性皮炎/色素性化妆品性皮炎）。构成ADMH的这些病症在临床和组织病理学特征上存在重叠。为了进行文献计量分析，以确定ADMH领域被引用次数最多的前100篇出版物。于2024年9月18日在科学网进行搜索，使用搜索词“扁平苔藓色素沉着”、“灰皮肤病”、“持久性色素异常性红斑”、“里尔黑变病”、“色素性化妆品性皮炎”、“色素性接触性皮炎”、“获得性皮肤斑状色素沉着”或“病因不明的获得性斑状色素沉着”，检索1998年至2024年发表文章的标题或摘要。搜索结果经过筛选，纳入英文文章、信函、综述和社论。收集的数据包括标题、作者、出版年份、被引用次数、发表期刊、所属机构和原产国。根据年度被引用分数对被引用次数最多的前100篇出版物进行排名。被引用次数最多的前100篇出版物包括1998年至2023年间发表的62篇文章、24篇信函（即给编辑的信和评论）、8篇社论和6篇综述。发表文章最多的年份是2018年，有14篇出版物。贡献最大的期刊是《 》（ = 15，15%）和《 》（ = 14，14%）。印度、韩国和美国在ADMH领域的出版物贡献最多（ = 61，61%）（分别为32篇、17篇和12篇）。印度在拥有前三位通讯作者方面也领先，分别是Muthu Sendhil Kumaran（ = 8，8%）、Keshavamurthy Vinay（ = 4，4%）和Vinod Kumar Sharma（ = 3，3%）。这项文献计量分析揭示了ADMH研究中的地理集中现象，强调未来研究需要在全球范围内更广泛地开展对这些病症的研究。
