Insights
This study identifies the most cited research on intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), a rare but severe form of intracranial bleeding. The findings offer a guide to understanding historical trends and evidence-based management of IVH.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a rare intracranial bleeding with severe outcomes.
- Extensive research exists, necessitating identification of seminal works.
- Citation analysis is employed to pinpoint the most influential IVH studies.
Observation:
- The 100 most cited IVH studies span from 1927 to 2017, with a peak between 1980-2000.
- These studies collectively garnered over 16,500 citations.
- Pathogenesis research (23 articles) and randomized controlled trials (13 articles) were prominent.
Findings:
- The United States dominated contributions with 67 reports.
- Washington University School of Medicine led with 11 studies.
- Pediatrics was the most frequent journal, publishing 20 studies.
Implications:
- This curated list aids in understanding the historical trajectory of IVH research.
- It serves as a valuable resource for evidence-based practice in IVH management.
- Researchers and clinicians can efficiently navigate key literature for informed decision-making.
Background:
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a rare cause of intracranial bleeding across all age groups, with dismal sequelae in most of the affected population. The reported data on IVH are numerous, with multiple levels of evidence. We performed a citation-based analysis to identify the most-cited reports on IVH.
Methods:
A thorough search of the Scopus database was conducted using "intraventricular hemorrhage" as the search keyword. The 100 most cited studies were stratified in descending order. The reports were reviewed in-depth and categorized accordingly. Bibliometric parameters of interest were obtained for analysis.
Results:
The most-cited studies had been published between 1927 and 2017. Most (n = 60) had been published between 1980 and 2000. The most-cited studies had received a total of 16,512 citations, with an average of 174 citations per report. Studies on pathogenesis were the most prolific, with 23 articles included. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials were identified. The top contributing country was the United States, with 67 reports. The leading institution was the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, with 11 studies. Pediatrics was the most active journal, with 20 studies.
Conclusion:
The present collection of highly cited studies can aid in the understanding of chronological trends and could serve as an efficient guide to delineate the reports involved in the evidence-based practice of the management of IVH.
