虽然结直肠癌（CRC）是一个严重的死因，并且对患者的生活质量有显着影响，而且CRC的发病率在年轻人群体中不断增加，但是CRC的计量研究尚未进行。本研究使用各种统计和计量技术对CRC的科学出版物进行全面分析。从Web of Science数据库中下载了1980年至2021年间发布的CRC出版物，并使用统计方法进行了分析。使用计量网络可视化映射分析趋势主题、国家间的合作关系和引用关系。使用指数平滑估计器估计未来5年可能要发表的文章数量。使用Spearman等级相关系数分析变量之间的相关性。在肿瘤学、胃肠病学、肝脏病学和外科学领域发现了122,717篇出版物，其中64,774篇是研究文章。在贡献最多的前五个国家中，美国（16,604;25.6%）、中国（10,567;16.3%）、日本（7932;12.2%）、英国（5009;7.1%）和意大利（4287;6.6%）占主导地位。CRC领域数量最多的作者、机构和期刊分别是张轶（n=331）、得克萨斯大学系统（n=1646）和结直肠和直肠疾病（n=2090）。根据每篇文章所获得的平均引用次数，最有影响力的期刊是CA-A癌症临床杂志（每篇文章的引用次数为286）。CRC在不同国家发表的文章数量与国内生产总值和人类发展指数呈显著正相关（r=0.726，p＜0.001; r=0.658，p＜0.001）。此外，CRC还与人均国内生产总值呈中度显著相关（r=0.711，p＜0.001）。最后，本研究分析了如综合存活率、新辅助化疗和放疗、局部晚期直肠癌、机器人手术、吻合口漏、化疗和放疗、转移性结直肠癌、KRAS基因、荟萃分析、结直肠外科和腹腔镜手术等关键词。版权所有©2023作者。由Wolters Kluwer Health公司出版。

Although colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious cause of death and has a significant impact on patients' quality of life and incidence rate of CRC has increased among the younger populations, bibliometric research of CRC has not been conducted yet. To perform a comprehensive analysis of scientific publications on CRC using various statistical and bibliometric techniques. Publications on CRC published between 1980 and 2021 were downloaded from the Web of Science database and analyzed using statistical methods. The trending topics, collaborations among countries, and citation relationships were analyzed using bibliometric network visualization mapping. The number of articles to be probably published in the next 5 years was estimated using the exponential smoothing estimator. The Spearman's correlation rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlations among the variables. A total of 122,717 publications were found in the fields of oncology, gastroenterology, hepatology, and surgery. Of the published articles, 64,774 publications were research articles. The top five countries that contributed the most to the literature were the USA (16,604; 25.6%), China (10,567; 16.3%), Japan (7932; 12.2%), the UK (5009; 7.1%), and Italy (4287; 6.6%). The most prolific author, institution, and journal in the field of CRC were Zhang Y (n = 331), University of Texas System (n = 1646), and Diseases of the Colon and Rectum (n = 2090), respectively. The most influential journal based on the average number of citations received per article was CA-A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (citations per article; 286). There was a significant positive correlation between the number of articles produced by the countries on CRC and gross domestic product and human development index (r = 0.726, P < .001; r = 0.658, P < .001, respectively). Additionally, a significant moderate correlation of CRC was found with gross domestic product per capita (r = 0.711, P < .001). Keywords like overall survival, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, locally advanced rectal cancer, robotic surgery, anastomotic leakage, chemoradiotherapy, metastatic colorectal cancer, KRAS, meta-analysis, colorectal surgery, and laparoscopic surgery were studied.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
