Abstract

Introduction: Bibliometric measures variables from the scientific literature that are described quantitatively by means of statistical analysis; this tool seeks to demonstrate the impact of hematopoietic stem cell transplants in the literature throughout the last 45 years. Objective: To describe the indexed medical literature in MEDLINE from 1970 to 2015 on hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Methodology: A search of the MEDLINE database through GoPubMed and Fabumed was performed. The search strategy was: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation [Majr] and 1970:2015 [dp]. The variables analyzed were the number of publications per year, journals, countries and percentage of publications on hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Results: 23,295 references were recovered on hematopoietic stem cell transplants. 1,844 different journals were identified, the largest number of publications was found in Bone Marrow Transplantation with 2,443 publications, followed by Blood with 1,375 and Biology of Bone Marrow Transplantation with 1,319 references. The United States was the country with the highest number of publications with 7,491 (32.15%), in Latin America 324 (1.39%) were published. The most researched descriptors of literature related to the topic were: Transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells with 23,345 publications, humans with 22,019 and stem cells with 17,564. Conclusions: The publications on hematopoietic stem cell transplants have increased progressively during the 45 years studied. The developed countries are the ones that have done more research on the subject, in contrast to the number of publications in total.
