Abstract

Objective To evaluate the research findings regarding the prevention and treatment of Frey’s syndrome using bibliometric analysis.Methods We searched studies related to the prevention and treatment of Frey’s syndrome from the Web of Science up to September 8, 2017.After selection of literature, the distribution of the year, type, journal, citation, and affiliation of publication were analyzed using the Prism Graphpad 5.0 software and VOSviewer1.6.4 software.Results Finally 602 articles were included.The number of publications on Frey’s syndrome was rising in recent years, and the dominating type of publication was research articles (75.25%).The United States was the country that published the largest number of studies (18.60%) and the affiliations that published the maximum number of studies were mostly from western countries.Sichuan University in China published a large number of related studies (1.16%).The top three cited papers were associated with parotidectomy, medication and surgical treatment of Frey’s syndrome.Conclusions Current evidence suggests that the etiology, prevention and treatment of Frey’s syndrome is an area of great value and high quality studies are needed, especially those on Chinese populations.
