Abstract

Introduction: The minimum data set is the first important step in developing a health information system. Considering that in recent years we have been faced with growth and accumulation in the minimum data set research. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct a systematic library analysis of the minimum data set and understanding of the field of research and trends.
Methods: The present study, with the scientific mapping, and bibliometric approach, examined the scientific publications in the minimum data set research in the PubMed on May 16, 2022. Searches were not limited by publication type, date, or language. The data were exported to Microsoft Excel 2016 and Mendeley Desktop version 1.19.8. after screening based on PRISMA checklist, bibliometric analysis, and scientific mapping were done using the RStudio package and the VOSviewer software tool.
Results: About 35 % of the publications in the field have been published since 2017 and mainly in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society and Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. The top and most popular authors are MOR V., Fries B.e. And j.n. Morris, that has strong cooperation relationships. The United States also has the most scientific production, and most articles have been published nationally. The analysis of the author's keywords also showed the top five keywords are Humans, Aged, Female, Male and Standards.
Conclusion: Although global studies on minimum data set have a long history, they are still growing. Recently, it has shown promising applications in information systems and clinical research.
