Abstract
Bibliometric studies on inherited metabolic diseases(IMDs) didn't exist in the literature.Our research aims to conduct a bibliometric study to determine the current status,trending topics,and missing points of publications on IMDs.Between 1968-2023, we conducted a literature search with keyword "inherited metabolic disease" in the SCOPUS-database.We included research articles in medicine written in English,published in the final section.We created our data pool using VoSviewer, SciMAT, and Rstudio software programs for bibliometric parameters of the articles that met the inclusion criteria.We performed bibliometric analysis of the data with R-package "bibliometrix" and BibExcel programs.We included 2702 research articles published on IMDs.Top three countries that have written the most articles in this field are; USA(n= 501), United Kingdom(n=182), and China(n= 172).The most preferred keywords by the authors were;newborn screening(n=54), mutation(n=43), phenylketonuria(n=42), children(n=35), genetics(n= 34) and maple syrup urine disease(n=32).Trending topics were osteoporosis, computed tomography, bone marrow transplantation in the early years of the study, chronic kidney disease, urea cycle disorders, next-generation sequencing, newborn screening, and familial hypercholesterolemia in the final years of the study. This study provides clinicians with a new perspective showing that molecular and genetic studies in inherited metabolic diseases will play an essential role in diagnosis and treatment in the future.
