Abstract

Infertility is a significant problem influencing many couples. Our purpose was to assess the field of infertility in Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1955 to 2022 reviewing 3575 documents found in the Web of Science database. Most articles were in the areas of Reproductive Biology, Fertility, Endometriosis & Hysterectomy, and Chromosome Disorders. We found publication has increased dramatically since 1989. Agarwal, Thomas, and Sharma; United States, England, and Canada; Fertility and Sterility, Human Reproduction, and AJOG were the most-cited authors, countries, and journals, respectively. We discovered five substantive clusters: male infertility factors, female infertility factors, causes and treatment of infertility, the consequence of infertility, and assisted reproductive techniques. Using bibliometric review (Co-citation analysis) six research areas were found: semen analysis and sperm morphology, regional differences in the psychological effects of infertility, unexplained infertility, endometriosis, diagnosis and treatment of infertility, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Despite advances in understanding infertility, further research is needed.

不孕不育领域的知识领域和新趋势：一项长达 67 年的回顾性研究。

不孕症是影响许多夫妇的一个重要问题。我们的目的是评估 1955 年至 2022 年妇产科不孕不育领域的情况，我们查阅了 Web of Science 数据库中的 3575 篇文献。大部分文章涉及生殖生物学、生育力、子宫内膜异位症与子宫切除术以及染色体疾病等领域。我们发现，自 1989 年以来，发表文章的数量急剧增加。阿加瓦尔、托马斯和夏尔马；美国、英国和加拿大；《生育与不育》、《人类生殖》和《AJOG》分别是被引用最多的作者、国家和期刊。我们发现了五个实质性群组：男性不育因素、女性不育因素、不育的原因和治疗、不育的后果以及辅助生殖技术。通过文献计量学回顾（共引分析），我们发现了六个研究领域：精液分析和精子形态学、不孕症心理影响的地区差异、原因不明的不孕症、子宫内膜异位症、不孕症的诊断和治疗以及多囊卵巢综合征。尽管在了解不孕症方面取得了进展，但仍需开展进一步研究。
