Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current situation and development of geriatrics in Jiangsu Province, and to find out the characteristics and trend in development of geriatrics in Jiangsu Province. Methods The literatures in geriatric field of Jiangsu Province from 1998 to 2007 were collected from the database, www. cnki.net. Bibliometric methods and Mann-Whitney Test (performed by SPSS) were used to analyze the distribution of time, area, author, fund and discipline of the literatures. Results The total number of the literatures about geriatrics of Jiangsu Province from 1998 to 2007 was 4623, accounting for 7.72% of the total number of the literatures about geriatrics of China. The number of the literatures in South Jiangsu was the highest, followed by North Jiangsu and Center Jiangsu (P＜0.001). The authors publishing only one article made up 81.51% of the total number of the authors. The literatures with cooperating affiliations made up 12.24% of the total literatures. There were 212 literatures with research sponsorship. The literatures in geriatrics of Jiangsu province covered 39 subjects, and the literatures about cardiovascular diseases accounted for 14.56%. Conclusions Geriatrics in Jiangsu province shows a slow development and an imbalance between different areas and subjects. The core author team does not exist. This suggests that Jiangsu Province should increase the investment, and carry out a large and cooperating researchplan to promote the development of geriatrics in Jiangsu province.
