مستخلص: Background: Despite the ubiquitous use of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) worldwide, no study to date has objectively and quantitatively assessed its impact on the scientific literature and clinical practice. Therefore, we comprehensively analyzed scientific publications and clinical practice guidelines employing the GCS to gauge its clinical and academic impact, identify research hotspots, and inform future research on the topic.
Methods: A cross-sectional bibliometric analysis was performed on Scopus to obtain relevant publications incorporating the GCS from 1974 to 2022. In addition, a systematic review of existing clinical practice guidelines in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Trip Database was performed. Validated bibliometric parameters including article title, journal, publication year, authors, citation count, country, institution, keywords, impact factor, and references were assessed. When evaluating clinical practice guidelines, the sponsoring organization, country of origin, specialty, and publication year were assessed.
Results: A total of 37,633 articles originating from 3924 different scientific journals spanning 1974-2022 were included in the final analysis. The compound annual growth rate of publications referencing the GCS was 16.7%. Of 104 countries, the United States had the highest total number of publications employing the GCS (n = 8517). World Neurosurgery was the scientific periodical with the highest number of publications on the GCS (n = 798). The top trending author-supplied keyword was "traumatic brain injury" (n = 3408). The 97 included clinical practice guidelines most commonly employed the GCS in the fields of internal medicine (n = 22, 23%), critical care (n = 21, 22%), and neurotrauma (n = 19, 20%).
Conclusions: At the turn of the 50 th anniversary of the GCS, we provided a unique and detailed description of the "path to success" of the GCS both in terms of its scientific and clinical impact. These results have not only a historical but also an important didactic value. Ultimately our detailed analysis, which revealed some of the factors that led the GCS to become such a widespread and highly influential score, may assist future researchers in their development of new outcome measures and clinical scores, especially as such tools become increasingly relevant in an evidence-based data-driven age.
