Insights
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a critical complication. Research on DCI after SAH has surged, with recent focus on its pathophysiological mechanisms.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Cerebrovascular Diseases
Background:
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and disability.
- Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major complication of SAH, significantly impacting patient outcomes.
- Understanding DCI after SAH is crucial for improving patient prognosis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of global research on DCI after SAH.
- To identify research trends, status, and hotspots from 2013 to 2022.
- To provide a scientific reference for researchers in the field of DCI after SAH.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (2013-2022).
- Data analysis and visualization using VOSviewer software.
- Systematic review of 3436 articles.
Main Results:
- Annual increase in publications on DCI after SAH.
- The United States leads in publications and citations.
- Harvard University and World Neurosurgery are leading institutions and journals.
- Recent research hotspots focus on the pathophysiological mechanisms of DCI after SAH.
Conclusions:
- DCI after SAH has garnered significant academic interest over the past decade.
- This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the DCI after SAH literature.
- Current research hotspots concentrate on the pathophysiological mechanisms of DCI after SAH.
Background:
As a common hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has high mortality and disability. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is among the major complications after SAH, severely affecting the patient prognosis. Through bibliometric analysis, this study investigated the global research status, trends, and hotspots of DCI after SAH from 2013 to 2022, providing a scientific reference for researchers in this field.
Methods:
We searched the Web of Science Core Collection for articles and associated records from 2013 to 2022. The data were analyzed and presented using VOSviewer software.
Results:
This study covered 3436 articles, and the number of publications issued by DCI after SAH study increased annually. The United States published the most papers and had the highest number of citations. Harvard University and World Neurosurgery were the institutions and journals with the most published papers. Keyword analysis indicated that the recent research on DCI after SAH has focused on its pathophysiological mechanisms.
Conclusions:
DCI after SAH has drawn increasing interest in academic circles during the past decade. This study presented an objective, systematic, and comprehensive analysis of the literature on DCI after SAH. Currently, the hotspots in this field focus on pathophysiological mechanisms.
