Unveiling the Scholarly Output on Hypertension in Saudi Arabia: A Bibliometric and Systematic Appraisal

Description

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. This study investigates the impact of research on hypertension-related scientific output in Saudi Arabia between 2011 and 2021. The data was retrieved via the Lens database and Microsoft Office Excel 2019. The study found extensive yearly growth in publications, with "King Saud University" publishing the most documents. The United States had the highest collaboration with Saudi Arabia, followed by Egypt and India. The study concludes that Saudi Arabia has a remarkable position in hypertension research with international collaborations, with Egypt being the second most collaborative country. The country needs effective attention in conducting and promoting research activities in hypertension..
