Summary
This bibliometric analysis of secondhand smoke research reveals key trends and influential publications. The study highlights the urgent need to understand passive smoking's impact on maternal and child health.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health
- Public Health
- Maternal and Child Health
Background:
- Bibliometric analysis can identify leading specialists, authors, and journals in research fields.
- No prior bibliometric analysis has provided a macroscopic overview of secondhand smoke research, particularly concerning non-smokers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of secondhand smoke research.
- To identify trends, influential authors, and active research areas in the field.
- To provide a macroscopic overview of the research landscape.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 644 articles from the Scopus database (1973-2020).
- Data analyzed using Bibliometrix and VoS Viewer software.
- Qualitative analysis of 52 highly cited articles.
Main Results:
- Publications originated from 364 sources with an average of 25.14 citations per document.
- Peak publication activity observed around 1990, with 974 references.
- USA, China, and Spain led in publications; "passive smoking" was a dominant keyword.
Conclusions:
- Emphasizes the critical need to understand secondhand smoke's effects on fetal development.
- Identifies key research trends, influential authors, and active areas.
- Findings can guide future research and inform evidence-based decisions in maternal and child health.

01:25Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data
366
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

8.6K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

01:07Teratogenicity
2.5K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
