Impact and Citation Trends of Surveys Endorsed by the EUPSA Network Office in Pediatric Surgery: A Bibliometric Analysis
Topic overview
This bibliometric study analyzes the scientific impact of surveys endorsed by the European Pediatric Surgeons' Association Network Office from 2013-2024, examining citation patterns across 63 countries. The analysis reveals growing citation trends for surveys addressing controversial pediatric surgical topics, with highest impact for studies on esophageal atresia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and Hirschsprung disease, demonstrating their value in shaping evidence-based practice.
Key takeaways
- EUPSA-endorsed surveys show growing citation impact (R²=0.75, p=0.0006), validating their role in shaping pediatric surgical practice standards.
- Most cited topics—esophageal atresia, NEC, Hirschsprung's—reflect high-impact conditions where practice variation drives research need.
- Survey participation averages 167 respondents with 75% European representation, indicating strong regional engagement but limited global diversity.
- Citations originate from 63 countries (led by US, Germany, China), demonstrating international influence beyond European authorship base.
- Consistent annual citation rates (median 6/year) suggest sustained relevance of survey findings in informing multi-institutional study design.
