Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinocccus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis and declared a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization. The disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in India, Australia, China, Turkey, South America, the Middle East, and Eastern European countries. Bibliometric analysis is a popular research trend that gains the advantage of evaluating all the studies about one specific topic and emphasizing the importance and place of the subject in the literature. With this study, we aim to evaluate all the global published literature in the Web of Science core collection database about urinary tract echinococcosis between 1945 and 2024.
METHODS: All documents indexed in the Web of Science core collection database between 1945 and 2024 were scanned on March 29, 2024. VOSviewer program 1.6.20 and MS Office Excel 2017 programs were used for forward analysis.
RESULTS: 152 documents were obtained, 102 of which were indexed in SCI-Expanded journals. Turkey (21.71%) was the leading country in terms of the total number of documents, followed by India (21.05%), but citations of Indian publications were higher (21.77%). Spain was in the first rank in terms of average citations per document (19.33). Most of the documents were original articles (78.29%). Okan Akhan was the most prolific author, with three documents. The most-cited document was conducted in 1997 by Angulo et al. and received 74 citations. With seven publications, Urology Case Reports was the journal that published the most documents on urinary tract echinococcosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Evaluating the studies on urinary system echinococcosis with bibliometric analysis, it is understood that although the number of studies has gradually increased over the years, they are still less than expected. We recommend that more studies be conducted to determine the true prevalence of echinococcosis and ensure more effective management of the disease, especially in countries where it is endemic.

摘要：
背景：棘球蚴病是一种由细粒棘球蚴和多房性棘球蚴引起的寄生虫病，被世界卫生组织列为被忽视的热带病。该疾病是发病和死亡的重要原因，尤其是在印度,澳大利亚,中国,土耳其,南美洲,中东,和东欧国家。文献计量分析是一种流行的研究趋势，它获得了评估所有关于一个特定主题的研究并强调该主题在文献中的重要性和地位的优势。通过这项研究,我们的目标是评估1945年至2024年间在WebofScience核心收藏数据库中有关尿路包虫病的所有全球已发表文献。
方法：在2024年3月29日扫描了1945年至2024年之间在WebofScience核心收藏数据库中索引的所有文档。VOSviewer程序1.6.20和MSOfficeExcel2017程序用于正向分析。
结果：获得了152个文件，其中102个在SCI扩展期刊上被索引。就文件总数而言，土耳其(21.71%)是领先的国家，其次是印度(21.05%),但印度出版物的引用率较高（21.77%）。就每份文件的平均引用次数而言，西班牙排名第一（19.33）。大多数文件是原始文章（78.29％）。OkanAkhan是最多产的作家,三个文件。引用最多的文献是由Angulo等人在1997年进行的。并收到74次引用。有七个出版物，泌尿外科病例报告是发表尿路包虫病文献最多的杂志。
结论：用文献计量分析评估泌尿系统包虫病的研究，据了解，尽管多年来研究的数量逐渐增加，他们仍然低于预期。我们建议进行更多的研究,以确定包虫病的真正流行情况,并确保对该病进行更有效的管理,尤其是在流行的国家。
