Abstract

Background: Ocular hygiene encompasses a spectrum of measures to initiate and maintain adequate ocular cleanliness to prevent eye infections and their further transmission. These infections affect all age groups and can lead to severe complications such as blindness. Nearly 1 billion cases could have been prevented out of over 2.2 billion people that are visually impaired worldwide. This bibliometric analysis focuses on the papers published on ocular hygiene and infections.

Methods: We searched in the Scopus database from 2004 to 2024. After manual screening, a list of the 100 most-cited original articles was obtained, which was analysed for various factors, including temporal trends, subject areas, authorship patterns, country of origin, funding bodies, etc.

Results: There has been a gradual decline over the past two decades in the number of publications. The United States was affiliated with the highest number of publications (n=61), followed by The United Kingdom (n=12) and Gambia (n=8). Several authors had 4 or more publications, with the highest number of publications by Rouse, B. T. (n=14). The American Journal of Ophthalmology takes the lead with 15 publications, while the National Eye Institute (n=23) was the leading funding body. Examination of institutional contributions shows that The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and UT College of Veterinary Medicine stand out with twelve publications each. Nearly half the publications belong to the field of medicine. However, significant publications also come from the fields Neuroscience, Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, etc. These findings highlight that there is great potential to conduct research to propagate ocular hygiene to prevent adverse effects of infections.

对过去二十年有关眼部卫生和感染的出版物趋势进行文献计量分析。
背景:眼部卫生包括一系列措施,以启动和保持适当的眼部清洁,预防眼部感染及其进一步传播。这些感染影响所有年龄段的人群,并可导致严重的并发症,如失明。在全球超过 22 亿的视力受损者中,近 10 亿病例是可以预防的。本文献计量分析主要关注发表在眼部卫生和感染方面的论文:方法:我们在 Scopus 数据库中搜索了 2004 年至 2024 年发表的论文。经过人工筛选,我们得到了被引用次数最多的 100 篇原创文章,并对这些文章进行了各种因素分析,包括时间趋势、主题领域、作者模式、来源国、资助机构等:结果:在过去二十年里,论文数量逐渐减少。发表论文数量最多的国家是美国(61 篇),其次是英国(12 篇)和冈比亚(8 篇)。几位作者发表了 4 篇或更多的论文,其中 Rouse, B. T. 的论文数量最多(14 篇)。美国眼科杂志》(American Journal of Ophthalmology)发表了 15 篇论文,居于首位,而美国国家眼科研究所(National Eye Institute)(n=23)则是主要的资助机构。对机构贡献的研究表明,田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校和UT兽医学院各发表了12篇论文,表现突出。近一半的出版物属于医学领域。不过,神经科学、微生物学和免疫学、生物化学、遗传学和分子生物学等领域也发表了大量论文。这些研究结果突出表明,在宣传眼部卫生以预防感染的不良影响方面存在巨大的研究潜力。
