A bibliometric overview on endovenous laser ablation research
Black Sea Journal of Health Science(2022)
Abstract
In the management of saphenous vein reflux, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) has emerged as a very popular minimally invasive substitute in recent years. The development of this field benefits from a thorough understanding of its state of development and bibliometric analysis may help this. However, no bibliometric analysis has adequately summed up this field. We sought to analyze decades' worth of EVLA literature. The purpose of this study was to retrieve information from journals listed in the Web of Science (WOS) search engine with the dataset "TI=(EVLA) or TI=(Endovenous Laser Ablation)". We searched the Web of Science core collection. There were 471 publications (70.701% articles). They were cited 8062 times totally and 17.12 times per article. The mean Hirsch (H) index of the published documents was 49. Over the past 20 years, there has been a gradual rise in the number of publications and citations in EVLA research, showing that the field has gained attention. The United State of America (USA) (n=99), England (n=48), Netherlands (n=48), Turkey (n=46), and Germany (n=40) were the top 5 publishing countries on EVLA research. It was found that the number of published documents was limited. And the contribution was only from 46 countries. The number of publications and the number of broadcasting countries should be increased.
