Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the top 100 most cited papers in the field of pelvic organ prolapse by utilizing bibliometric methods. Methods: On the 1st of October 2022, articles with the title pelvic organ prolapse were listed in order of citation on the Web of Science database. The first 100 articles were included in the study without a publication time limit. The number of citations, number of citations/year, title, author, journal, publication year, country and institutional information of the articles were recorded. Results: The highest number of citations in the first 100 most cited studies was 3,081 while the lowest was 95. The mean total number of citations of the 100 most cited studies was 248.7±380.2. The annual mean number of citations of the studies ranged between 118.5 and 3.7 and the mean number of studies was 16.8±17.8. In the ranking of the most cited papers, three journals were included in the list 70 times in total, accounting for 70% of the articles. Pelvic floor exercises were mentioned in 27 articles in total. Conclusions: This study provides medical researchers with bibliometric information relating to pelvic organ prolapse. The United States was clearly ahead in our study in terms of first authors, institutions, and journals. Articles on incontinence had more citations per year. Pelvic organ prolapse has serious sociological and economic consequences. We anticipate an increase in research on preventive factors such as pelvic exercise in the future.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, pelvik organ prolapsusu alanında en çok atıf alan ilk 100 makaleyi bibliyometrik yöntemler kullanarak analiz etmeyi amaçladı. Yöntemler: 1 Ekim 2022 tarihinde pelvik organ prolapsusu başlıklı makaleler Web of Science veri tabanında atıf sırasına göre listelenmiştir. İlk 100 makale yayın süresi sınırlaması olmaksızın çalışmaya dahil edildi. Makalelerin atıf sayısı, atıf sayısı/yıl, başlık, yazar, dergi, yayın yılı, ülke ve kurum bilgileri kaydedildi. Bulgular: En çok atıf yapılan ilk 100 çalışma içerisinde en yüksek atıf sayısı 3.081, en düşük atıf ise 95 idi. En çok atıf yapılan ilk 100 çalışmanın ortalama toplam atıf sayısı 248,7±380,2 idi. Çalışmaların yıllık ortalama atıf sayısı 118,5 ile 3,7 arasında değişmekte olup, çalışma başına ortalama 16,8±17,8'dir. En çok atıf alan makaleler sıralamasında, makalelerin %70'ini oluşturan üç dergi toplamda 70 kez listeye dahil oldu. Toplam 27 makalede pelvik taban egzersizlerinden bahsedilmiştir. Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma tıp araştırmacılarına pelvik organ prolapsusu ile ilgili bibliyometrik bilgi sağlamaktadır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, ilk yazarlar, kurumlar ve dergiler açısından çalışmamızda açık bir şekilde öndeydi. İnkontinans ile ilgili makaleler her yıl daha fazla atıf almıştır. Pelvik organ sarkmasının ciddi sosyolojik ve ekonomik sonuçları vardır. Gelecekte pelvik egzersiz gibi önleyici faktörler üzerine yapılan araştırmaların artacağını öngörüyoruz.
