Analysis of publications related to Triage in the Web of Science database

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to make a bibliometric analysis of the publications made about the increasing triage in recent years. Materials and methods: The review of the articles to be included in this study was conducted on June 8, 2021 using the database of Web of Science Core Collection. Triage was written in the subject section and a search was made in the form. “Web of Science Categories: (All); Document Types: (All); Languages: (English); Timespan: (All); Indexes: (All)”. During the search, no restrictions were entered regarding the dates of the publications. The data were transferred to VOS viewer software and analyzed systematically. Results: A total of 22653 publications were descripted between 1980 and 2021. It was found that the most publications were made in the field of emergency medicine (EM) (n=3798; 16,76%). It has been observed that the most publications have been made from the United States. (n=10049; 44,36%). When Turkey's place in all fields and EM is examined; it was seen that it was in the 26th rank (n=225; 0,99%) in the all fields, and 18th in the EM field (n=50; 1,32%). Conclusion: Studies and publications on triage have been conducted most often in the field of emergency medicine. However, Turkey's place in the current literature is far behind compared to the risks it poses. It is recommended to increase the work on this area in our country.
