Abstract
Introduction: Premature mortality is death that occurs before the average age of death for a particular population. Although premature mortality is a public health problem globally, the literature indicates no bibliometric studies that made a holistic evaluation of the publications on this issue. Thus, this study aimed to explore the characteristics of the publications on premature mortality in terms of a number of publications, citations, countries, collaboration, author's productivity and further identify the trending keyword and relevant research topic.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was applied to identify published premature mortality-related research. All articles related to premature mortality data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database using searching the terms ""premature death,"" or ""premature mortality,"" or ""year of life loss."" The retrieved articles were downloaded in a BibTeX format file. A Bibliometrix package from R software was used to perform Bibliometric analyses. Results and Discussion: A total of 1,060 of original research articles and review have been published since 1971, with 5,499 numbers of authors contributed. The number of publications has increased substantially in the past decade. The annual percentage growth rate of publication was 5.08%. The United States was the leading country in this area of research with the highest number of publications (n=280), the highest total citation (17,378) and the most active in collaboration. The most productive author in terms of number publications was Maniecka-Bryla I (n=26), and the top journal was PLOS ONE (n=32). The current trending keywords were global burden, health impact and air pollution. Our thematic map suggested the cluster for cardiovascular disease, obesity and inequalities were important topics for future research and should be developed further. This bibliometric finding hopefully will help scholars better understand the global overview of ""premature mortality,"" provide the information for potential collaborators, and the information promising attractive areas for future research.
