Background:
With an increasing number of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and availability of many pharmacological treatment options, there is an urgent need to develop and validate IBS biomarkers for prognostication and selection of patients for treatment and monitoring. The usage of investigations is limited because of its invasive nature, poor patient acceptability, and sampling variability. The bibliometric analysis of biomarker discovery of IBS articles will help in understanding current research trends of biomarkers study of IBS.
Aim:
To study the most highly cited articles from literature search on the biomarker for IBS to provide simple educational source.
Study Design:
A bibliometric literature review-the electronic search by terms and keywords were searched in PubMed databases. The commonly cited article was searched from 1985 to 2023. The total citation number was received from knowledge search engines like Google Scholar. Articles were classified according to number of citations, year of publication, journal name, authors, publications from continents of countries of origin, research hotspots, and article title. The articles written in English and other languages were included in the analysis.
Results:
Total number of articles found was 1,449. The mean number of citations per article was 177. The citation count ranged from 24 to 1,191. The articles with citations >30 were included in the study. The majority of articles (n = 175) were published between 2016 and 2023. Among the highly cited articles, the most prevalent topic of interest was biomarker discovery. Most of the articles were original articles. The continent of origin for most of the articles was the United States of America (n = 163), Europe (n = 145), United Kingdom (n = 23), Asia (n = 23), Australia (n = 14), etc. Conclusion: The analysis of articles on biomarker discovery for IBS will help in understanding the requirement for unmet need for the discovery of biomarker for IBS. The current bibliometric study has highlighted the work of authors with advanced knowledge about discovery of the biomarker for IBS. This study will help to identify the current trends in the biomarker discovery for IBS and help for the further evolution of the field.
