A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Most Influential Articles on Carotid Cavernous Fistula.
A carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between arteries and veins within the cavernous sinus and may be classified as either direct or indirect. This bibliometric analysis summarizes the most-cited articles on CCFs and highlights the contributing articles to today's evidence-based practice. ⋯ The bibliometric analysis provides a quantitative overview of how medical topics and interventions are analyzed in academic medicine. In the present study, we evaluated the global trends in CCFs by finding the top 100 most-cited papers.

Here, we evaluate the evolution and growth of global neurosurgery publications over time, further focusing on the contributions and impact of authors in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). ⋯ Despite recent growth, the number of global neurosurgery publications arising from LMICs pales in comparison to those from HICs. Collaborative efforts between certain HICs and LMICs have likely contributed to the observed increase in LMIC author independence over time.

Research around sport-related concussion (SRC) has made great advances during the twenty-first century. However, few studies have systematically analyzed the published SRC research. ⋯ Attention to research in SRC has rapidly increased in recent years. Our work is a holistic overview that summarizes the hotspots, frontiers, and prospects of SRC, thus providing valuable information and guidance concerning research directions for those who are interested in or are dedicated to SRC research.

Emergency medicine (EM) research is growing at a rapid pace. It is important to understand the scope and trends over time in order to identify gaps and future areas for growth. This study aimed to describe trends in scientific publications within EM over the past decade. ⋯ This bibliometric study is a quick snapshot of research in the EM field in the last decade and may provide insights into the scientific agendas of the EM professionals.

Many studies, mainly original articles and reviews, have been reported on congenital scoliosis (CS), but there is a lack of bibliometric analyses. This study aimed to systematically analyze the developments and focuses in CS and related research fields. ⋯ Over time, research on CS and in related fields has gained greater attention and has been expanding continuously, showing a trend toward globalization. We recommend that researchers focus on the progress of surgical techniques, advances in molecular biology and genetics, and characteristics of CS. The top clusters, most-cited articles, and references with the strongest burst citations should be studied further.
