Economía de la salud: identificación de los principales productores, la especialización relativa de los países y temas
Keywords:
Health economics, Bibliometrics, ScientometricsAbstract
El área de investigación en economía de la salud tuvo una gran evolución a partir de la década de 1960 y está en constante crecimiento. Actualmente, el gasto en salud es un tema clave en todo el mundo. La bibliometría proporciona varios métodos para explorar el impacto y la evolución de la investigación. Así pues, el principal objetivo del presente estudio es comprender la situación actual de la investigación en materia de economía de la salud para el período 2010-2019. Se analizaron tres aspectos diferentes: la producción de los países, el índice de prioridad relativa y los temas principales. El conjunto de datos se obtuvo a partir de los documentos indizados en la base de datos Web of Science de 2010 a 2019. Se utilizó el software SciMAT para obtener el análisis temático mediante el análisis de mapas de la ciencia. Las revistas Health economics, Value in Health, Journal of Health Economics y European Journal of Health Economics son los principales productoras. Estados Unidos, Inglaterra y Alemania son los que tienen una mayor producción; los Países Bajos, Inglaterra y Australia son los que tienen el índice de prioridad relativa más alto. Los años de vida ajustados en función de la calidad y la desigualdad en materia de salud son los temas con mayor número de documentos y medidas de impacto. Este estudio es un marco útil basado en ciencia que servirá de base para futuras acciones de investigación.
