Abstract
Introduction
Over the past few decades, the incidence of Rhabdomyolysis (RM) has significantly
increased. The prognosis is substantially worse if renal failure develops. Many problems
remain to be addressed regarding the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of RM.
The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize the top 100 most cited
publications regarding rhabdomyolysis (RM) by performing a bibliometric analysis.
Methods
Publications focusing on RM were identified from the Science Citation Index-Expanded
(SCI-E) of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Bibliographic information was
collected, including year of publication, authorship, publishing journals, institution,
country of origin and keywords. CiteSpace V5.6.R2 and the Online Analysis Platform
of Literature Metrology were used for descriptive analysis.
Results
The 100 most cited articles were published between 1995 and 2016, with citation numbers
ranging from 116 to 904. The United States (60) has been the largest contributor to
RM research. Hartford Hospital and University of Texas were found to be the most productive
institutions, with five articles each. Thompson, PD, who authored six articles, was
the most productive author. The American Journal of Cardiology published the most
articles (5), followed by the New England Journal of Medicine (4). The top three co-cited
journals were the New England Journal of Medicine (74), Lancet (59) and JAMA (54).
Conclusions
This study provides valuable information on the study of RM. These findings may be
used to guide clinical decision-making and identify new research fields.
