Abstract

Leprosy is curable and can be treated with multidrug therapy in the early stages. As a result, we chose a Scientometrics evaluation of leprosy research guides on adverse drug reactions to better grasp the current popularity of drug-related responses. During the 2010-2021 a study with a total of 48 publications was selected. This study aims to analyze scientometric tools such as frequency distribution, percentage analysis, double-related growth rate, and interaction rate. During the study period, 7 (14.58%) study publications were submitted in 2018. The related growth rate is identified by decreasing trend and the double time is growing from 2010 to 2021. The 11 published study sizes (22.92%) were provided by top writers, the average Degree of Collaboration is 0.96, and 19 (39.58%) published research articles by headers. India is the largest supplier of 21 leprosy research publications (43.75%). As India is the most productive country in leprosy research, hence there are four out of the top five institutions that are from the Indian center that is listed among the most productive institutions.

Keywords: Adverse drug reaction, leprosy, relative growth rate, doubling time, scientometrics, degree of collaboration.
