Bibliometric Analysis of Neurosurgery Research with Participation from Latin America and the Caribbean: An Approach from Scopus (1955-2022)
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-06-19) Sevillano Jimenez, Javier Alexander; Contreras Pulache, Hans Lenin
Despite efforts to promote scientific production in the region, there is a significant gap in the resources allocated compared to developed countries. The aim is to identify bibliometric and thematic characteristics of the most cited articles in neurosurgery in Latin America and the Caribbean. A quantitative methodology was used for the search using Scopus, with inclusion and exclusion criteria applied. Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny App were used for bibliometric analysis and graph generation, and VOSviewer for co-authorship and keyword network maps. The results indicate an increase in scientific production in neurosurgery in the region, with an average of 21.5 citations per document and 23,893 references in the analyzed articles. A total of 1,854 keywords and 5,466 authors were identified, showing thematic and collaborative diversity. The most productive institutions include the University of São Paulo, the Federal University of São Paulo, and the State University of Campinas. Notable journals include "ARCHIVES OF NEURO-PSYCHIATRY," "SURGICAL NEUROLOGY INTERNATIONAL," and "JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY." The diversity of keywords suggests a wide range of research areas in neurosurgery. In conclusion, scientific production in neurosurgery in the region has significantly increased, with thematic diversity and collaborations, and key institutions and journals were identified, which may guide future research and advances in the field.

Objective: Establish the risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in users of emergency services. Materials and methods; A systematic review was carried out, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice. Results: Articles located in the Scielo, Dialnet, Lilacs, Lipecs and Cochrane databases were included in the systematic review, with cross-sectional research designs, 12 scientific articles systematically reviewed on the risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in treated users. in emergency, 17% (2) corresponds to Chile, 8% (1) to Colombia, 17% (2) to Mexico, 8% (1) to the United States United States, 8% (1) to India, 17% (2) to Brazil, 8% (1) to Burkina Faso, and 17% (2) to Uruguay, all of them framed in the 12 research articles. Conclusions: Factors such as obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight (waist-hip ratio) and low HDL concentrations are associated with the presence of Acute Myocardial Infarction in adults treated in Emergency Units, Hypercholesterolemia is the most important risk factor associated with IMA in adults, the factors associated with the presence of IMA are lifestyle and social behavior. In young people, the associated risk factors are tobacco, present in 76.78%, the 12 articles reviewed show us that coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction in particular continue to be a very important public health problem in Latin American countries.
