Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The application of anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis after knee replacement surgery has become the subject community consensus.
OBJECTIVE: To multivariately analyze the literature on the application of anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis after knee replacement surgery through Science Citation Index Database (SCI) and its analysis tool.
DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis.
DATA RETRIEVAL: A retrieval was performed for the literature of the application of anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis after knee replacement surgery, including knee arthroplasty/prosthesis, thrombosis, prevention/prophylaxis, warfarin, low molecular weight heparin/LMWH, rivaroxaban, aspirin during 2001-01 and 2010-12 in SCI. The retrieval results were analyzed, and the trends were described in words and graphics.
SELECTIVE CRITERIA: Articles on the application of anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis after knee replacement surgery including the following types: (1)Peer-reviewed original paper; (2)Reviews; (3)Meeting notes and abstracts; (4)Letters; (5)Editorial materials. Exclusive criteria were included (1)Articles unrelated the study of the application of anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis after knee replacement surgery. (2)Articles published before 2001. (3)Articles which were not published on journals. (4)Articles which need to be retrieved by phone or manually.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The literatures were analyzed by national distribution, publication year, citation frequency, journal distribution, discipline distribution, institutional information and authors.
RESULTS: (1) A total of 484 literatures on the application of anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis after knee replacement surgery were retrieved in SCI database, in which 391 literatures were published as original articles. Six articles were identified as classic literature. The overall number of literature had an upward trend from 2001 to 2010. Thrombosis and Haemostasis published most papers in this field (33 literatures, 6.818%).
CONCLUSION: This paper provides a valuable reference for researchers to understand the overview and present situation of this field in order to set further research.
