Abstract:

Objective  To understand the whole condition of glaucoma related Chinese papers from 2012 to 2016 through bibliometric analysis. Design Bibliometric analysis. Participants Glaucoma related Chinese papers published from 2012 to 2016. Methods Glaucoma related Chinese papers published from 2012 to 2016 were retrieved using China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine Database and Wanfang Database. Data after duplication and clearing up were put into SPSS package for statistical analysis. Results about the year of publishing, journal, author, organization, research direction were statically described in detail. Main Outcome Measures Paper distribution of publishing year, journal, author, organization and research direction. Results 8332 glaucoma related papers were included. A decreased trend was found from the year of 2014 (1707,1781,1698,1611,1535). The top three organizations in publication number were Beijing Tongren Eye Center of Capital Medical University (205), Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University (109), the Eye-ENT Hospital of Fudan University (78). The top three authors were Ningli Wang (65), Jianjun Li (37) and Xinghuai Sun (30). The hot areas on glaucoma in the past five years were: (1) The relationship between lens and glaucoma and the combined operation of glaucoma; (2) The treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma and application of cataract surgery in glaucoma; (3) Reduction of intraocular pressure and clinical nursing of acute angle-closure glaucoma; (4) Clinical effects and complications of anti-glaucoma surgery including trabeculectomy, combined trabeculectomy and goniosynechialysis; (5) the application of optical coherence tomography in glaucoma. Conclusion Bibliometric analysis is an effective method to describe the whole condition of Chinese glaucoma related papers. A decreased trend was found from the year of 2014. Research on primary angle-closure glaucoma was still a research focus in China.
