Abstract

Purpose

Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit a significantly higher prevalence of sleep problems compared to their typically developing peers. Despite numerous studies on ASD and sleep, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on this topic is lacking. This study aims to analyze publications on sleep problems in children with ASD using bibliometric methods.

Methods

Research articles on sleep problems in children with ASD were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. Between 1984 and 2024, 462 studies by 1896 authors were published in 164 journals. We used bibliometrics to analyze papers on sleep problems in children with ASD, to draw the network of authors, countries, journals, and keywords in this field, and to visualize the results.

Results

The number of publications examining sleep problems in children with ASD has increased since 2011. The highest number of published studies is in 2021. The leading country in research is the USA, and the most productive author in this field is Malow B. In recent years, burst keywords were intervention, circadian rhythm, screen time, and melatonin.

Conclusion

Increased attention has been paid to sleep in children with ASD. It is believed that this bibliometric analysis can help determine the gap in the field of sleep in children with ASD and help new studies to be conducted.

自闭症谱系障碍儿童睡眠问题的文献计量和可视化分析

与正常发育的同龄人相比，被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童表现出明显更高的睡眠问题患病率。尽管有许多关于ASD和睡眠的研究，但缺乏对这一主题的全面文献计量分析。本研究旨在使用文献计量学方法分析有关自闭症儿童睡眠问题的出版物。方法从Web of Science Core Collection （WOSCC）数据库中获取有关ASD儿童睡眠问题的研究文章。从1984年到2024年，有1896位作者在164个期刊上发表了462项研究。我们使用文献计量学来分析有关自闭症儿童睡眠问题的论文，绘制该领域的作者、国家、期刊和关键词网络，并将结果可视化。结果自2011年以来，研究自闭症儿童睡眠问题的出版物数量有所增加。发表的研究最多的年份是2021年。在这方面研究领先的国家是美国，在这一领域最多产的作者是Malow B.近年来爆发的关键词是干预、昼夜节律、屏幕时间和褪黑激素。结论ASD患儿的睡眠问题越来越受到重视。相信这种文献计量学分析可以帮助确定自闭症儿童睡眠领域的差距，并有助于开展新的研究。
