Türkiye’de HIV pozitif bireylerde yapılmış epidemiyolojik çalışmaların bibliyometrik incelemesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de HIV pozitif bireylerde yapılmış epidemiyolojik çalışmaların bibliyometrik açıdan değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Türkiye’de HIV pozitif bireylerde yapılmış çalışmalara 1 Kasım 2015 tarihinde Pubmed, Türk Medline, Ulakbim veri tabanları ve Türk HIV/AIDS dergisi taranarak ulaşıldı. Bulgular: Ulaşılan 204 çalışmanın %89.1’i gözlemsel tanımlayıcı çalışmaydı. En sık çalışma tipi olgu sunumuydu (%48.5). Analitik çalışmalar en sık kesitsel tipteydi (%23.7). Makalelerin %67.2’si Türkçe, %32.8’i İngilizce yayınlanmıştı. Çalışmaların %92.6’sı genel hasta grubunda yapılmıştı. Olgu sunumu/serisi tipindeki çalışmaların konuları en sık fırsatçı enfeksiyonlar (%41.3) ve komplikasyonlar (%16.3); diğer çalışmaların konuları en sık HIV/AIDS epidemiyolojisi (%18.1) ve tedaviydi (%17.0). Çalışmaların %47.1’i tek uzmanlık alanı tarafından yürütülmüştü. İlk isim yazarların %76.9’u Ankara, İstanbul veya İzmir’de; %55.4’ü üniversite hastanesinde, %37.3’ü eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde çalışmaktaydı. Uzmanlık alanları en sık enfeksiyon hastalıkları ve klinik mikrobiyoloji (%47.1) ve tıbbi mikrobiyolojiydi (%22.1). Türkçe makalelerin %33.8’inde ”HIV'li/AIDS'li hasta/olgu, HIV enfeksiyonlu olgu/hasta’’ ifadeleri kullanılmıştı, ancak bu ifadenin kullanımı zaman içinde azalma eğilimi göstermekteydi (p trend= 0.007). Sonuç: Türkiye’de HIV pozitif bireylerde genel hasta grubu dışındaki bireyleri daha fazla ele alan, analitik tipte, çok disiplinli, ulusal düzeyde ve görece az çalışılmış konularda çalışmalar yürütülmelidir. 

Bibliometric investigation of epidemiologic studies in HIV positive individuals in Turkey

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the bibliometrics of epidemiologic studies in HIV positive individuals in Turkey. Methods: We reached the epidemiologic studies through Pubmed, Türk Medline, Ulakbim databases and ”Türk HIV/AIDS” journal on November 1, 2015. Results: Among 204 studies 89.1% were observational descriptive and the most frequent type was case report (48.5%). Cross-sectional (23.7%) was the most common type among analytic studies. Article’ were published in Turkish (67.2%) and English (32.8%). The great majority (92.6%) of the studies were conducted in general patient population. The most studied topics were opportunistic infections (41.3%) and complications (16.3%) among the case series/reports types of studies; whereas HIV/AIDS epidemiology (18.1%) and treatment (17.0%) were more common ones among the other studies. The proportion of the studies carried out by a single specialty was 47.1%. First-name authors work in university hospitals (55.4%), teaching and research hospitals (37.3%) and 76.9% were from Istanbul, Ankara, or Izmir. The frequent specialties were infectious diseases (47.1%) and medical microbiology (22.1%). Researchers used stigmatizing statements in 33.8% of the articles that were in Turkish referring to HIV positive individuals, although this type of statements tended to decline over time (p trend = 0.007). Conclusion: Researchers should conduct analytic, multi-disciplinary and nationwide studies on HIV positive individuals in Turkey, particularly in non-general patient groups and on relatively less studied topics.
