Abstract
Background: In recent years, the incidence of Crohn's disease has risen significantly in the pediatric population, and its prolongation has had a major impact on children's physical and mental health as well as on the quality of life of their families, and has therefore received extensive attention from scholars around the world. A large number of articles have been published on Crohn's disease in children; however, there is still a lack of studies that use visualization methods for bibliometric analysis of relevant literature. The purpose of this paper is to statistically analyze the published literature in the field of Crohn's disease in children in order to help in the future diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's disease in children.
Methods: Literature meeting the inclusion criteria was screened from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Literature was visualized and analyzed by author, country, institution, journal, reference, and keyword using Citespace (6.2.R4) and VOSviewer (1.6.18).
Results: A total of 3,177 eligible publications were included. There is an overall increasing trend in the number of annual publications.Turner, Dan published the most number of articles with 78 and has a high impact in the field of CD. The most cited author was Levine, A. Among countries and institutions, the United States and Tel Aviv University had the highest number of publications. The journal with the most publications is Journal Of Pediatric Gastroenterology And Nutrition. The most co-cited journal was Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. The most cited document was ESPGHAN Revised Porto Criteria for the Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children and Adolescents, and the most cited document with the highest outbreak intensity was The Medical Management of Paediatric Crohn's Disease: an ECCO-ESPGHAN Guideline Update.The most frequent keyword was "inflammatory bowel disease".
Conclusion: This study provides a visual summary of information for the field of pediatric Crohn's disease and contributes to international collaboration to promote research in the field of pediatric Crohn's disease.
背景:近年来,克罗恩病在儿科人群中的发病率显著上升,其病程的延长对儿童的身心健康及家庭生活质量产生了重大影响,受到了世界各国学者的广泛关注。已经发表了大量关于儿童克罗恩病的文章;然而,利用可视化方法对相关文献进行文献计量学分析的研究仍然缺乏。本文的目的是对儿童克罗恩病领域已发表的文献进行统计分析,以帮助今后儿童克罗恩病的诊断和治疗。方法:从Web of Science Core Collection数据库中筛选符合纳入标准的文献。使用Citespace (6.2.R4)和VOSviewer(1.6.18)将文献按作者、国家、机构、期刊、参考文献和关键字进行可视化分析。结果:共纳入3177篇符合条件的文献。年度出版物的数量总体呈增加趋势。Turner, Dan发表的文章最多,有78篇,在CD领域具有很高的影响力。被引作者最多的是Levine, a .在国家和机构中,美国和特拉维夫大学的发表次数最多。发表最多的期刊是《儿科胃肠病学与营养学杂志》。被共同引用最多的期刊是《炎症性肠病》。引用最多的文献是ESPGHAN修订的儿童和青少年炎症性肠病波尔图诊断标准,引用最多、爆发强度最高的文献是《儿科克罗恩病的医疗管理:ECCO-ESPGHAN指南更新》。最常见的关键词是“炎症性肠病”。结论:本研究为儿童克罗恩病领域提供了一个直观的信息总结,有助于促进儿童克罗恩病领域的国际合作。
