Abstract

Abstract

Objective To retrospectively analyze the application trend of cohort study in the field of maternal and child health and to look forward to its future development trend. Methods Chinese and English papers reporting the cohort studies of maternal and child health conducted in the mainland of China were included. The literature management software was used to analyze the publication time, institution, type and objective of the studies and the follow-up performance. Statistical analysis was carried out by using SPSS 22.0. Results The number and quality of the papers reporting maternal and child health-related cohort studies increased significantly in the past 30 years and a core Chinese and English journal group of this field has been formed. The average annual growth rates of Chinese and English papers published were 12.2% and 23.2% respectively. About 54.4% of the Chinese papers and 79.3% of the English papers were published in the past five years with high quality. The number of Chinese papers published on Chinese core journals accounted for 56.9% while English papers published on SCI periodicals (IF>3) accounted for 54.3%. For the study objective, those published on the domestic and SCI journals mainly focused on etiologic research (90.8% and 91.3% respectively), being the most of which were large-scale studies. High-quality SCI papers were more interested in the studies of etiologic researches, and regression analysis was the common statistical method to be used. Conclusions The application of cohort study in the field of maternal and child health gradually increased in China. Large-scale study and regression analysis were conducted commonly. However, it is necessary to further improve the researchers' understanding of cohort study, improve the follow-up quality, and increase the application of scientific evaluation methods, such as Cox regression analysis, for the better solving of practical problem.
