Results There were a total of 438 valid papers, 304 of which were cited, accounting for 69.41%, and the total cited frequency was 1 642. Forty papers with highly cited frequency (cited frequency≥10 times) were cited for 855 times, accounting for 52.07% of the total cited frequency. All highly cited papers were published from 2013 to 2017, mainly in the form of special discussion (17/40, 42.50%) and clinical research (17/40, 42.50%).
