PMID 40070884WHAT IT FOUND
This paper maps who is publishing in perioperative rehabilitation and what topics are trending.
It does not test any treatments or report patient outcomes, so there is nothing here to guide clinical decisions.
What this paper is
This is a bibliometric analysis of publication trends, authors, and keywords in perioperative rehabilitation research between 2005 and 2024. It reports no patient outcomes, interventions, or clinical trials, so there are no findings here to change your practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret the identification of research hotspots or highly cited papers as evidence that any specific rehabilitation intervention is effective. The study analyzes citation metrics, not clinical outcomes.
