Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is an abundance of works published on severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Bibliometric analyses are aiming to have a macroscopic view of research activities about sTBI and are helpful in determining the most impactful studies within this field.

METHODS: we performed a generalized search using the database of Web of Science (WoS), organized the references by the number of citations, and reviewed full length-articles for the top 100 cited papers. The articles were classified according to the focus of the paper.

RESULTS: The top 100 articles were cited on average 326.4 times per paper. The Journal of Neurosurgery published the greatest number of top cited articles (9 of 100). Authors from the United States published the majority (67%) of the top-cited articles. The most popular categories were "reviews and guidelines" and "etiology and epidemiology." CONCLUSIONS: The present study provides a cross-sectional summary of the 100 cited studies in sTBI, highlighting areas of research that require further investigation and development.
