Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a major source of disability worldwide, increasing the interest in algorithms that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize the interpretation of imaging studies, prognosis estimation, and critical care issues. In this study we present a bibliometric analysis and Mini Review on the main uses that have been developed for TBI in AI.The results informing this review come from a Scopus database search as of April 15, 2023. The bibliometric analysis was carried out via the mapping bibliographic metrics method. Knowledge mapping was made in the VOSviewer software (V1.6.18), analyzing the “link strength” of networks based on co-occurrence of keywords, countries co-authorship and co-cited authors. In the mini-review section, we highlight the main findings and contributions of the studies.A total of 495 scientific publications were identified from 2000 to 2023, with 9262 citations published since 2013. Among the 160 journals identified, The Journal of Neurotrauma, Frontiers in Neurology, and Plos One where those with the greatest number of publications. The most frequently co-occurring keywords were: “machine learning”, “deep learning”, “magnetic resonance imaging”, and “intracranial pressure”. The United States accounted for more collaborations than any other country, followed by United Kingdom and China. Four co-citation author clusters were found, and the top 20 papers were divided into reviews and original articles.AI has become a relevant research field in TBI during the last 20 years, demonstrating great potential in imaging, but a more modest performance for prognostic estimation and neuromonitoring.Copyright © 2024.
