Objective: The field of anesthesiology in T & uuml;rkiye has witnessed a significant increase in academic productivity over the past decades. Bibliometric analyses provide a quantitative evaluation of research output, publication trends, and emerging topics in a specific discipline. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of anesthesiology publications in T & uuml;rkiye from 1981 to 2024. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, focusing on publications indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded and Emerging Sources Citation Index. The search was conducted using the terms "anesthesia" or "anaesthesia" under the anesthesiology category. The analysis included 2,768 publications, consisting of original articles, letters, reviews, and editorial materials. Performance analysis, keyword co-occurrence mapping, citation analysis, and trend topic identification were conducted using VOSviewer and SPSS. Predictive modeling estimated the projected publication trends over the next five years. Results: The number of anesthesiology-related publications in T & uuml;rkiye has steadily increased, with open-access publications accounting for 42.63% of the total. Regional anesthesia, postoperative pain management, and multimodal analgesia emerged as dominant research topics in cluster analyses. & Idot;stanbul University ranked first in publication output (19%), reflecting the impact of institutional history on scientific contributions. Statistical analyses demonstrated a significant positive correlation between faculty age and publication volume (r=0.659, p=0.008). Predictive modeling suggested continued growth in research output. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights T & uuml;rkiye's increasing contribution to global anesthesiology research, with growing interest in perioperative pain management and regional anesthesia techniques. The findings offer valuable insights for academics and funding agencies to shape future research priorities and foster international collaboration.
