Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major global health problem, especially in elderly population, no comprehensive bibliometric study that evaluates publications on this topic in a holistic manner has been reported in the literature In this study, it was aimed to determine the current issues and the highest impact studies as well as to reveal the scientific outcomes on DVT in a holistic manner with bibliometric and statistical analyses.Material and Methods: All publications on DVT indexed in the Web of Science database between 1980 and 2020 were analyzed using bibliometric and statistical methods. Relationships between DVT publication productivity and certain economic development indicators of countries in the world were investigated with the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Regression analysis was used to estimate the number of publications in the coming years.Results: A total of 10414 publications including 5890 articles were found. The top three productive countries in DVT were USA (1773, 30.1%), UK (427, 7.3%), and Germany (412, 7%). McMaster University (141), Harvard University (104), and University of Amsterdam (99) were the leading institutions. The top three journals have published the highest numbers of articles were Thrombosis and Haemostasis (235), Thrombosis Research (185), and Journal of Vascular Surgery (152).Conclusion: We shared a summary of 5890 articles in this comprehensive bibliometric study on deep vein thrombosis. The most cited and co-cited articles and high-impact journals that should be evaluated on deep vein thrombosis are summarized. This study will be a useful guide for scientists and clinicians on the global consequences of deep vein thrombosis. |
