摘要：The purpose of this work was to identify the scientific output, position and visibility of Mexico’s General Hospital (Hospital General de México-HGM). A literature search in the following databases was conducted for the period 1990-2003, in order to obtain the hospital’s scientific production: NCR, MEDLINE, LILACS, ARTEMISA, PERIODICA, and CLASE. The hospital scientific visibility was identified through the analysis of 140 documents retrieved from MEDLINE, for the period 1999-2003. Similarly, in order to obtain the scientific position of HGM at the national level, a bibliographic search was conducted in NCR and MEDLINE. Data were analyzed both manually and through BIBEXCEL 2001 and EXCEL 2000. Results included the retrieval of 1.647 references from the above mentioned databases. The subject content visibility indicated that the scientific production of the hospital was mainly related to comparative studies, treatment, and retrospective studies. As for the scientific position of the hospital, a rank 9 (r = 1-78)in NCR and rank 12 (r = 1-74) in MEDLINE, was obtained. The study obtained the production, scientific position and visibility of the hospital through the databases used. HGM scientific production showed a high trend in the clinical medicine area and a low productivity in the social and humanistic fields. The thematic production of the hospital does not coincide with its main mortality causes; however, the hospital remains within the main 15 health research institutions at a national level. Finally, the document describes the implications of the study and the needed research actions, in order to support the adequate science policy lines of the hospital.
