A scientometric analysis and visualization of Pott's disease; 2000-2021
Abstract
Aims: Spinal tuberculosis, or Pott's disease, is a bacterial infection of the spine, which is primarily brought on by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, Pott's disease-related research papers from the Web of Science database were examined scientometrically. The study's time frame is between 2000 and 2021. To shed light on the trends and advancements in research on Pott's disease, bibliometric techniques are used in the analysis.
Methods: A literature search on spinal tuberculosis was carried out in November 2022 using the WOS search engine. Using specific retrieval keywords, the search covered the years 2000 through 2021. Titles, document types, publication years, author details, affiliations, keywords, funding sponsors, journal names, abstracts, and citations were examined. The data was further processed for both quantitative and qualitative analysis using VOSviewer (1.6.18).
Results: A total of 892 papers from 2000 to 2021 were examined based on search parameters. 430 of these were released as Open Access articles. 81.0% of them were in the Science Citation Index Expanded. The publications came from 77 different nations, China dominated research on Pott's disease with 306 papers, followed by India with 147 and the United States with 86. The investigation revealed a rising trend in recent years, pointing to a rise in interest in Pott's disease. Research fields like neurology and orthopedics made important advances. Notably, 7.7% of the research' funding for Pott's disease publications came from the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation. The leading publishing journal has become the European Spine Journal.
Conclusion: The data shows that China has played a significant role in Pott's disease research, followed by India and the United States. The survey also reveals a growing need for PD research, notably in the disciplines of orthopedics and neurology.
