This study aimed to describe and analyze the research outputs on enteral nutrition, which is the administration of food through the gastrointestinal tract for nutrition maintenance.
We searched the Web of Science Core Collection database for original publications on enteral nutrition research from 2010 to 2019. HistCite and VOSviewer software were used for analysis and visualization of the publication outputs, journals, institutions, keywords, cocitations, and collaborations among authors in different countries or regions.
A total of 963 relevant articles were included. The number of publications in 2010 and 2019 were 68 and 139, respectively. Nutrition in Clinical Practice and the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition had the highest number of publications and cocitations (76, 7.89%; 2058), respectively. The United States and China were the top contributors, accounting for 24.1% and 22.3% of the total articles, respectively. Andrew S. Day and Stephen A. McClave were core researchers in this field. Primary authors collaborated closely. Enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, and support were the three most common keywords. The top 10 cocited references concerned administering early enteral nutrition therapy in acutely ill patients and patients with acute Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease, acute pancreatitis, upper gastrointestinal malignancy, and other surgical diseases were among the research hotspots.
Our findings can help researchers identify notable research trends and clinically relevant articles. New catheterization technologies are a future research direction.
本研究旨在描述和分析肠内营养的研究成果，肠内营养是通过胃肠道给予食物以维持营养的方法。
我们在 Web of Science 核心合集数据库中搜索了 2010 年至 2019 年关于肠内营养研究的原始出版物。HistCite 和 VOSviewer 软件用于分析和可视化出版物、期刊、机构、关键词、共引和不同国家或地区作者之间的合作。
共纳入 963 篇相关文章。2010 年和 2019 年的出版物数量分别为 68 篇和 139 篇。Nutrition in Clinical Practice 和 Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 的发表文章和共引数量最多（分别为 76 篇，7.89%；2058 次）。美国和中国是最大的贡献者，分别占总文章的 24.1%和 22.3%。Andrew S. Day 和 Stephen A. McClave 是该领域的核心研究人员。主要作者密切合作。肠内营养、肠外营养和支持是最常见的三个关键词。前 10 个共引参考文献涉及对急性疾病患者和急性克罗恩病患者进行早期肠内营养治疗。克罗恩病、急性胰腺炎、上消化道恶性肿瘤和其他外科疾病是研究热点。
我们的研究结果可以帮助研究人员识别显著的研究趋势和具有临床相关性的文章。新的置管技术是未来的研究方向。
