Win Ratio in Biomedical Science: A Bibliometric Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The win ratio (WR), introduced in 2012, has emerged as a method to analyze hierarchical composite outcomes by prioritizing clinically significant events, unlike traditional composite time-to-event analyses, which treat events equally. However, use of the WR in biomedical research beyond cardiovascular trials remains unexplored. The study aims to investigate trends in the use of the WR in biomedical research and determine the characteristics of these articles.

Methods

Biomedical articles indexed in Web of Science and PubMed were retrieved for 2012-2024. Data extraction included bibliometric information and content details. Statistical analyses utilized descriptive statistics, correlation, and linear regression to assess publication trends and the distribution of WR
