Summary

This study analyzes global caesarean section (CS) research, identifying the USA and UK as leaders in output. Scandinavian countries lead in research relative to epidemiology and citation rates, reflecting growing CS research worldwide.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Public health
  • Scientometrics

Background:

  • Caesarean section (CS) is a prevalent surgical procedure with a century of modern practice.
  • A comprehensive analysis of the global research landscape for CS is currently lacking.
  • Rising CS rates necessitate a clear understanding of international research contributions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the global publication patterns of caesarean section research.
  • To identify leading countries in CS research based on various scientometric indicators.
  • To provide insights into the international architecture of CS scientific output.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the NewQIS platform, integrating scientometric methods and density equalizing mapping algorithms.
