Summary
Medication adherence is crucial for transplant graft survival. This bibliometric analysis maps research trends, identifying key publications, authors, and journals in transplantation adherence studies.
Area of Science:
- Transplantation Research
- Bibliometrics
- Health Sciences
Background:
- Medication adherence is vital for long-term graft survival post-transplant.
- This study performs a bibliometric analysis of medication adherence in transplantation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of medication adherence in organ transplantation.
- To identify influential studies, journals, countries, institutions, and authors.
- To map research trends and guide future research in transplantation adherence.
Main Methods:
- Scopus database was used for data screening.
- Bibliometric analysis and data visualization were performed using VOSviewer.
- Scientific mapping and performance analysis techniques were employed.
Main Results:
- 1552 publications (1263 articles, 289 reviews) by 8250 authors across 619 journals were analyzed.
- United States and United Kingdom led in publications; "Pediatric Transplantation" and "Clinical Transplantation" were prominent journals.
- Keywords: "adherence," "medication adherence," and "kidney transplantation." De Geest was the most cited author.
Conclusions:
- This bibliometric review identifies key contributors and trends in transplantation medication adherence research.
- Findings can guide healthcare professionals and foster international collaborations to improve adherence.
- Future research should explore health policy impacts on medication adherence.

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

01:29Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors
175
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

01:28Kidney Transplant I: Introduction
307
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

01:24Drug Accumulation During Multiple Dosing: Intermittent IV Infusions
217
Intermittent intravenous (IV) infusion is a method of drug administration where medications are delivered over short infusion periods followed by intervals of no drug delivery. This approach helps to prevent sustained high drug concentrations in the bloodstream, reducing the risk of adverse effects associated with prolonged exposure. Unlike continuous infusion, steady-state concentrations may not be achieved during a single dosing cycle but can be reached through repeated...

198
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.
