Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma has been widely used in orthopedics, plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, sports medicine, and intractable wounds due to its advantages of simple preparation, autologous source, low cost, and good safety. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the existing research structure of platelet-rich plasma in recent 5 years worldwide by using CiteSpace software, and to analyze the research hotspots and the evolution trend of platelet-rich plasma by using the visual network map generated by the software, in order to explore the academic frontiers and provide the choice of research direction. METHODS: The Web of Science Core Collection and CNKI database were searched for platelet-rich plasma related literature records published between 2015 and 2020. We visually analyzed the enrolled studies in terms of countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords based on the knowledge network maps generated by the CiteSpace software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The average annual number of documents issued in China from 2015 to 2019 was 184.2; the high-yield institutions issued in cooperation were represented by the Department of Orthopaedics of the Sixth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University; the high-yield authors issued in cooperation were represented by Shan Guiqiu; the keywords of hotspots were growth factors, bone marrow stem cells, osteoarthritis, etc. Internationally, the average annual number of documents issued in 2015-2019 was about 928.2; the countries with high yield of cooperative documents issued were the United States, China and Italy; the institutions with high yield of cooperative documents issued were New York Hospital for Special Surgery, University of Pittsburgh and Rush University; the author with high yield of cooperative documents issued was Anitua E; the keywords for hotspots were growth factors, stem cells and repair; and the influential journal was American Journal of Sports Medicine. According to the results of CiteSpace literature analysis, platelet-rich plasma has developed rapidly in the fields of orthopedics, sports medicine and tissue engineering, both at home and abroad.
