Scientific research in tuberculosis: bibliometric assesment of the colombian contributions to the literature

Abstract

La tuberculosis (TB) es un importante problema de salud tanto a nivel mundial como también en Colombia, por lo cual se requiere intensificar más acciones en salud y en investigación. Se realizó una evaluación bibliométrica de las contribuciones de la literatura colombiana sobre TB con el objeto de determinar el nivel de producción en la materia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de producción colombiana en TB en las bases MEDLINE/GOPUBMED (1809-2012), Scopus (1959-2012), SCIELO Colombia (2004-2012) e IMBIOMED (2005-2012). Se incluyen todos los tipos de estudios, caracterizándolos por años, cooperación internacional (CI), ciudad de origen de la publicación (COP), revista de publicación (RP) y autores con mayor contribución (AMC). Resultados: En MEDLINE, se encontraron 232 artículos (0,12% del total en TB, 0,49/100.000 hab.), de los cuales 52,2% fueron 2005-2012, promedio 2007-2011 de 19,6±5,1. La CI se observó en 21,9%. Bogotá, Medellín y Cali publicaron 65,52% de los artículos, 16,4% en Biomédica, 5,2% en Revista de Salud Pública y 4,3% en IJTLD. En MEDLINE el AMC es Luís F. García (Universidad de Antioquia). En Scopus los resultados son similares a MEDLINE (n=168, 0,08%). En SCIELO sólo existen 29 registros (de 30) y en IMBIOMED 35 (de 513, 6,8%). Discusión: La producción científica en TB en Colombia es baja, no solo al compararla con países desarrollos (EUA, 4,08 artículos/100.000 hab.) sino con otros en América Latina incluso de menor incidencia como Chile (19 casos/100.000 hab.) pero con una productividad 2,2 veces mayor (1,09 artículos/100.000 hab.). Un mayor fomento de la investigación, desde pregrado, una mayor interacción entre organismos públicos y privados, así como mayor cooperación académica e internacional, podrían permitir disminuir dichas brechas, incrementar la publicación científica y que la aplicación de dichos conocimientos generados en el propio país contribuya a mejorar la epidemiología y los diferentes aspectos de la enfermedad.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health problem, globally as well in colombia. For these reasons more actions in health and research should be intensified. a bibliometric assessment of the colombian contributions to the biomedical literature on tB with the objective to determinate the level of production on it was done. Methods: Bibliometric study of the colombian production on tB in the databases MEDLINE/GOPUBMED(1809-2012), SCOPUS(1959-2012), SCIELO Colombia (2004-2012) and IMBIOMED (2005-2012). All kind of studies, analyzing by years, international cooperation (ic), publication origin city (POC), publication journal (PJ) and authors with more contribution (aMc) were included. results: at MEDLINE, 232 articles were found (0.12% from the total on TB, 0.49/100,000 hab.), from them 52.2% were 2005-2012, mean 2007-2011 of 19.6±5.1. ic was recorded in 21.9%. Bogotá, Medellín and Cali published 65.52% of the articles, 16.4% at Biomédica, 5.2% at revista de salud Pública and 4.3% at IJTLD. At MEDLINE the AMC was Luís F. García (Universidad de Antioquia). at SCOPUS results were similar to MEDLINE (n=168, 0.08%). At SCIELO only 29 records were found (out of 30) and at IMBIOMED 35 (of 513, 6.8%). Discussion: scientific production on TB in Colombia is low, not just comparing it with developed countries (Usa, 4.08 articles/100,000 hab.) but also with others in Latin America with even lower TB incidence such as Chile (19 cases/100,000 hab.) But with a better productivity 2.2 times higher (1.09 articles/100,000 hab.). a higher promotion of research, beginning in undergraduate studies, better interaction between public and private organizations, as well more academic and international cooperation, would allow to decrease those gaps, increase scientific publication and let that the application of that generated knowledge in the same country.
