ABSTRACT:

Background

The safety and efficacy of prophylactic corticosteroid administration during the perioperative period of cardiac surgery have undergone extensive and comprehensive examination. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications addressing corticosteroid use in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery, aiming to elucidate the principal research trajectories and emerging trends spanning the past 23 years.

Methods

We performed a search in the Web of Science Core Collection for publications related to the application of corticosteroids during the perioperative period of cardiac surgery, spanning from the year 2000 to October 30, 2023. Bibliometric analysis was conducted employing the biblioshiny package in R, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace.
