description | BACKGROUND: An increasing number of studies on dexmedetomidine use in adults have been published, but the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine remains contentious. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe the changing trends and structural relationships of scientific achievements regarding dexmedetomidine over the past 2 decades and provide researchers with information to help them explore better research opportunities. METHODS: Quantitative data of publications were retrieved from the Scopus database. Analyses of co-occurrence and collaboration among authors, countries, and key words were conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.17 software. Weighted occurrence and average publications per year were calculated. RESULTS: The 1868 publications retrieved showed an increasing trend of annual publications on dexmedetomidine use in adults between 2001 and 2021. China accounted for the largest contribution to publications in the world (n = 577 [30.89%]). Four key word clusters indicating research hotspots were identified using VOSviewer. The number of articles published in the top 10% of journals in the United States was the highest among all publications from the country (97 out of 201 [48.26%]). Journals from the United Kingdom obtained the highest CiteScore (16.56). Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology published the highest number of articles on this topic (n = 56). Wang authored the highest number of published articles (n = 42). Recent publications focused on the theme of cytokines and immunomodulation. Sufentanil attracted particular interest as a drug-related key word. Moreover, meta-analysis is becoming an increasingly popular research method in this field. CONCLUSIONS: The increasing number of publications on dexmedetomidine use reflects growing interest in this topic. Future research should focus on meta-analyses to identify the most effective therapeutic methods. The immunomodulatory effect of dexmedetomidine on health and disease is of particular interest. |
