Project description:PurposeTo generate an overview of global research on artificial intelligence (AI) in eyelid diseases using a bibliometric approach.MethodsAll publications related to AI in eyelid diseases from 1900 to 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. After manual screening, 98 publications published between 2000 and 2023 were finally included. We analyzed the annual trend of publication and citation count, productivity and co-authorship of countries/territories and institutions, research domain, source journal, co-occurrence and evolution of the keywords and co-citation and clustering of the references, using the analytic tool of the WoS, VOSviewer, Wordcloud Python package and CiteSpace.ResultsBy analyzing a total of 98 relevant publications, we detected that this field had continuously developed over the past two decades and had entered a phase of rapid development in the last three years. Among these countries/territories and institutions contributing to this field, China was the most productive country and had the most institutions with high productivity, while USA was the most active in collaborating with others. The most popular research domains was Ophthalmology and the most productive journals were Ocular Surface. The co-occurrence network of keywords could be classified into 3 clusters respectively concerned about blepharoptosis, meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharospasm. The evolution of research hotspots is from clinical features to clinical scenarios and from image processing to deep learning. In the clustering analysis of co-cited reference network, cluster "0# deep learning" was the largest and latest, and cluster "#5 meibomian glands visibility assessment" existed for the longest time.ConclusionsAlthough the research of AI in eyelid diseases has rapidly developed in the last three years, there are still gaps in this area. Our findings provide researchers with a better understanding of the development of the field and a reference for future research directions.

Project description:BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) has promising applications in arthroplasty. In response to the knowledge explosion resulting from the rapid growth of publications, we applied bibliometric analysis to explore the research profile and topical trends in this field.MethodsThe articles and reviews related to AI in arthroplasty were retrieved from 2000 to 2021. The Java-based Citespace, VOSviewer, R software-based Bibiometrix, and an online platform systematically evaluated publications by countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords.ResultsA total of 867 publications were included. Over the past 22 years, the number of AI-related publications in the field of arthroplasty has grown exponentially. The United States was the most productive and academically influential country. The Cleveland Clinic was the most prolific institution. Most publications were published in high academic impact journals. However, collaborative networks revealed a lack and imbalance of inter-regional, inter-institutional, and inter-author cooperation. Two emerging research areas represented the development trends: major AI subfields such as machine learning and deep learning, and the other is research related to clinical outcomes.ConclusionAI in arthroplasty is evolving rapidly. Collaboration between different regions and institutions should be strengthened to deepen our understanding further and exert critical implications for decision-making. Predicting clinical outcomes of arthroplasty using novel AI strategies may be a promising application in this field.
