Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to utilize objective citation analyses to describe the 100 most cited articles in the field of Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) and to review their characteristics. METHODS: We searched the Thomas Reuters Web of Science database for the most cited articles within all journals classified as Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn), Urology (Uro), Colorectal Surgery (CRS), and vital General Medicine (GM) journals (New England Journal of Medicine; Journal of the American Medical Association; Lancet; The BMJ). We reviewed search results for FPMRS content and compiled a list of the top 100 most cited articles relevant to FPMRS. RESULTS: We screened 34,934 articles yielded by the initial search and compiled the 100 most cited articles relevant to FPMRS. Of these 100 titles, 40% (42 out of 105) were published in Ob/Gyn, 46.7% (49 out of 105) in Uro, 1.9% (2 out of 105) in CRS, and 11.4% (12 out of 105) in GM journals. The most cited FPMRS article was "The standardisation of terminology of lower urinary tract function: report from the Standardisation Sub-committee of the International Continence Society" (3,810 total and 242 citations per year). Over half the articles were observational in nature and the majority (58%) of them were related to urinary incontinence in women. CONCLUSIONS: Highly cited FPMRS articles come from a variety of journals, and nearly 50% of the 100 most cited FPMRS articles are from the urology literature. The most cited articles were largely observational rather than interventional studies and mostly related to female urinary incontinence.
