Overview

US-centric top-cited PPS work may limit global applicability; leaves open needs for inclusive international research.

Key Points

  • The analysis aims to identify and analyze the 100 most cited articles on post-polio syndrome (PPS) to highlight trends and gaps.
  • Comprehensive search in the Web of Science database using keywords related to PPS.
  • Manual review of the 100 most cited articles published between 1985-2025 by two independent experts.
  • Assessment based on citation counts, Citation Index (CI), publication year, journal impact factor, H-index, quartile, country of origin, authors, and research category.
  • Citation counts for the top 100 articles ranged from 35 to 285 (average: 70.19 ± 44.05).
  • The most cited paper is a clinical study by Dalakas et al. from 1986.
  • Strong positive correlations were found between citation counts and CI (r=0.658, p<0.001), and publication year and CI (r=0.611, p<0.001).
