A Bibliometric Analysis of QoR-15 Literature in Perioperative Recovery: Global Research Trends, Collaborations, and Citation Impact.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The 15-item Quality of Recovery questionnaire (QoR-15) is a widely adopted patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) in perioperative care. Although its validity and reliability have been confirmed across languages and surgical populations, no bibliometric analysis has systematically assessed its research impact, trends, and collaborative networks. Methods: We performed a bibliometric analysis of QoR-15 literature using the Scopus database (2013-June 2025). Eligible studies reporting on QoR-15 in perioperative or postoperative settings were included. Data were analyzed using VOS viewer (version 1.6.20) and CiteSpace (version 6.3) to evaluate co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, citation patterns, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation networks.
