目标:目前,屈光手术是一种安全有效的手术,并被认为是干眼发展的风险。研究的目的是通过文献计量学方法分析屈光手术继发的眼部干燥领域的科学出版物。时间周期从2001年到2019年,即首次出现引用和搜索有限选择的年份,分别。出版物集的范围从2001年出现的第一份出版物到2019年选择的最后一份出版物。
方法:通过Scopus搜索参考资料,使用“屈光手术”作为主要描述符,和“干眼”作为次要的;这两个描述符都限于标题所选领域中可用的那些,abstract,和关键词。最常见的指标和文献计量图适用于选定的出版物。
结果:2001-2019年共收集了78篇原创文章。根据价格法,在文献生产的线性增长中,文献生产的增长是线性的。年增长率为8.6%,文献倍增时间为8.4年。布拉德福德的核心,作者选择的首选期刊是4种,作者提供了4种首选期刊,所有这些都具有>2的影响因子。这些是眼科,调查眼科与视觉科学,青光眼杂志和英国眼科杂志。关于地理分布,美国的产量最高。
结论:屈光手术后干眼的科学生产呈线性增长。在这种情况下,价格的科学增长规律的假设没有得到满足。此外,短暂性很高。这可能表明生产率低或存在来自其他相关学科的研究人员,他们偶尔在这个话题上发表过文章。
OBJECTIVE: Currently, refractive surgery is a safe and effective procedure, and considered as a risk for development of dry eye. The aim of study is to analyze the scientific publications in the field of ocular dryness secondary to refractive surgery through a bibliometric approach. The temporal period goes since 2001-2019, years in which first references appeared and search limited selection is done, respectively. The set of publications ranges from the first publication appeared in 2001, to the last one selected in 2019.
METHODS: A search of references was made through Scopus, using \"refractive surgery\" as main descriptor, and «dry eye» as secondary one; both descriptors were limited to those available in the chosen field for the title, abstract, and keywords. The most common indicators and bibliometric maps were applied for to the selected publications.
RESULTS: A total of 78 original articles were collected from the timeframe 2001-2019. According to the Price\'s law, the growth of literature production was linear turned out in a linear growth of literature production. The annual growth rate was 8.6% with a literature doubling time of 8.4 years. The Bradford core, preferred journals chosen by authors were 4 with offered four preferred journals by the authors, all of them with an impact factor >2. These were Ophthalmology, Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Journal of Glaucoma and British Journal of Ophthalmology. Regarding geographical distribution, the United States had the highest production.
CONCLUSIONS: The scientific production of dry eye after refractive surgery follows a linear growth. In this instance, postulates of the Price\'s growth law of science are not fulfilled. In addition, there is a high rate of transience. That may indicate low productivity or presence of researchers from other related subjects disciplines, who have published occasionally in this topic.
