Abstract

Objective:Duetoitsasymptomaticnatureandtheabsence of preventivemeasures, cytomegalovirus (CMV)  infectionduringpregnancyputsthe fetus at risk of congenitalabnormalities. Thegoal of thisbibliometricanalysis is toexaminethe perinatal CMVinfectionresearchlandscapefrom 1990 to 2022.


MaterialsandMethods:Thearticlesselectedfromthe Web of ScienceCore Collection underwentbibliometricanalysisusingtheVosviewertool (VOSviewer_1.6.19).Inthisstudy, theevolution of publications on congenitalCytomegalovirus, collaborationpatterns, andimportantresearchkeywordswereinvestigatedusingbibliometricmethodologies.


Results: Thisstudyfocused on 873 studies on congenital CMV infection. With an H-index of 78%, theaveragenumber of citationsperarticlewas 28.62. With 66 articlesand 2,516 citations, 2020 wastheyearwiththehighestproductivity. In SCI-EXPANDED (796 records), the Web of Scienceindexdistributionshowed 91.180%. ThehighestcategorieswereImmunology (16.724%), Pediatrics (34.822%) andInfectiousDiseases (20.962%). The US rankedfirstout of 61 countrieswith 27,950% enrollment, followedbyItalyand Japan. Top authorsincludedSuresh B. Boppana, William J. Brittand Karen Fowler.
