Objective. To identify studies on quality of health care in the IMSS. Materials and methods. A bibliometric, descriptive cross-sectional and retrospective study was conducted, from 1992 to 2011. Results. We identified 881 research studies related to the issue of quality (CI95% 10.6-12.0) of 7 762 studies presented at the annual research meetings. 10 521 articles were published in this period of time and only 946 (CI95% 8.4-9.5) were linked to the issue of quality. Conclusions. The results of this study allowed us to identify the interest about research on quality.
