摘要
Objective To explore potential keywords,research clusters,collaborative pattern,and research trends in the field of medical technology management(MTM)through bibliometric analysis,providing insights for researchers,policy makers,and hospital administrators.Methods A retrieval formula was applied to the title,abstract,and keywords in the Web of Science(WoS)Core Collection,along with system-recommended terms,to identify articles on MTM.A total of 181 articles published between 1974 and 2022 were retained for quantitative analysis.The global trend of research output;total citations,average citations,and H-index;and bibliographic coupling,co-authorship,and keyword co-occurrence were analyzed using VOSviewer.Results The number of articles on MTM has been steadily increasing year by year.The focus of research has shifted from addressing basic medical needs to prioritizing emergency response and medical information security.The United States,Italy,and the United Kingdom emerged as the main contributors,with the United States leading in both volume of publications(60 articles)and academic impact(H-index=21).Authors from the United Kingdom and the United States led the way in cross-border cooperation.The top five institutions,ranked by total link strength among cross-institutional authors,were primarily located in Canada and Spain.Conclusions The field of MTM has experienced stable growth over the past three decades(1993-2022).The shift of research focus has prompted a heightened emphasis on protecting patient privacy and ensuring the security of medical data.Future research should emphasize interdisciplinary and professional collaboration,as well as international cooperation and open sharing of knowledge.
目的采用文献计量方法分析医疗科技管理(medical technology management,MTM)研究领域相关文献,探讨此领域潜在关键词、研究集群、合作情况及研究趋势,为研究者、政策制定者和医院管理者提供有价值的信息。方法在Web of Science核心数据库中,通过检索文献标题、摘要及关键词,结合系统推荐术语,筛选MTM相关文献。最终纳入发表于1974年至2022年的181篇文献。采用VOSviewer软件分析研究产出,总被引次数、平均被引次数和H指数等质量指标,文献耦合、共同作者以及关键词共现。结果MTM领域的文献数量总体上呈逐年稳步增长。研究重点已从满足基本医疗需求转向优先关注应急响应和医疗信息安全。美国、意大利和英国是主要的研究贡献国家,其中美国在发文量(60篇)和学术影响力(H指数=21)均居首位。来自英国和美国的作者在跨国合作方面处于领先地位。按跨机构作者之间的总链接强度排名,前五名的机构主要来自加拿大和西班牙。结论在过去30年(1993~2022年)中,MTM领域发文数量呈稳定增多。研究重点的转移促使人们更加重视保护患者隐私和确保医疗数据的安全。未来的研究应着重加强跨学科和专业间的协作,以及推动国际合作和知识的开放共享。
