Return of the Disruption Score: Fetal Surgery in the Spotlight (1975–2021)
Topic overview
This bibliometric study examines the evolution of fetal surgery literature from 1975 to 2021 using disruption scores to identify paradigm-shifting versus developmental publications. The analysis addresses the challenge of reviewing a multidisciplinary field whose foundational works are scattered across subspecialty journals.
Key takeaways
- Fetal surgery evolved from pediatric surgery and maternal-fetal medicine as a highly specialized multidisciplinary field.
- Literature is scattered across subspecialty journals, making comprehensive review challenging for clinicians and researchers.
- Disruption score is a bibliometric tool: negative scores indicate developmental work, positive scores indicate paradigm-shifting research.
- This metric helps identify which fetal surgery publications represent true innovations versus incremental advances in the field.
