Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is primarily a disease of hepatic vein blockage, which involves a backflow of blood to the liver. Although there have been many causes linked to this disease, most commonly, it occurs due to hypercoagulable states and blood disorders. In recent times, there has been a fast spread of knowledge regarding early diagnosis and various treatment modalities, which has enabled the prevention of mortality in most cases. This has primarily spread through research articles published in various journals. Thus, the article aims to compare the gender trend ratios to identify the associated discrepancies in terms of male and female author contributions who have been the primary authors for articles pertaining to this disease. Methodology: A PubMed database between the years 2013 and 2022 was used for the bibliometric analysis. The gender of the primary author was analyzed by NamSor, an application programming interface (API). The statistical analysis was conducted using R software, the ARIMA model, and graphs were prepared using Datawrapper.
RESULTS: Out of 667 articles extracted, the analysis showed that there were 455 (68.2%) first male authors and 212 (31.8%) first female authors. We also formulated various other results, which depicted a higher female-to-male author ratio including various journals and different countries. Although there has been an increasing trend of male authors as compared to female authors, this study found that male authorship for research on this disease is still higher.
CONCLUSIONS: This study depicts that there is a necessity to draw attention to the inequitable systems favoring men over women for publications. The predictive analysis conducted also helps to foresee the trend in the next few years and explains the necessity of addressing the disparities among both genders in healthcare systems.
摘要:
背景:Budd-Chiari综合征(BCS)主要是肝静脉阻塞的疾病,这涉及血液回流到肝脏。尽管有许多原因与这种疾病有关,最常见的是,它是由于高凝状态和血液紊乱而发生的。最近,关于早期诊断和各种治疗方式的知识迅速传播,这使得在大多数情况下能够预防死亡。这主要是通过在各种期刊上发表的研究文章传播的。因此,本文旨在比较性别趋势比,以确定与该疾病有关的文章的主要作者的男性和女性作者贡献方面的相关差异.方法:使用2013年至2022年的PubMed数据库进行文献计量分析。NamSor分析了主要作者的性别,应用程序编程接口(API)。采用R软件进行统计分析,ARIMA模型,和图形是使用Datawrapper准备的。
结果:在提取的667篇文章中,分析显示,有455名(68.2%)男性第一作者和212名(31.8%)女性第一作者。我们还制定了其他各种结果,其中描绘了更高的女性与男性作者比例,包括各种期刊和不同的国家。尽管男性作者与女性作者相比有增加的趋势,这项研究发现,男性作者对这种疾病的研究仍然较高。
结论:这项研究表明,有必要引起人们对出版物中男性偏袒女性的不公平制度的关注。进行的预测分析还有助于预见未来几年的趋势,并解释了解决医疗保健系统中男女之间差异的必要性。
