This study aimed to explore the evolution tracks of occupational low back pain (OLBP) studies during 2000 ∼ 2020 through strict and systematic bibliometric analysis. The analysis began with data retrieval in Web of Science using defined search terms associated with OLBP. Bibliometric tools, including BibExcel and CiteSpace, were employed to conduct performance analysis and co-citation network analysis. Totally, 4,127 documents were identified from 2000 to 2020. The United States contributed the most publications. The leading journals mainly focused on medicine and ergonomics. The co-citation analysis illuminated the development of OLBP studies and the top three published keywords were musculoskeletal disorder, risk factors, and fear avoidance. This paper can help researchers have a broader and deeper understanding of OLBP studies, provide a general insight into aggregate performance in the OLBP field, and find further research directions.
本研究旨在通过严格系统的文献计量分析，探索 2000 年至 2020 年职业性下腰痛（OLBP）研究的演变轨迹。该分析首先在 Web of Science 中使用与 OLBP 相关的定义搜索词检索数据。使用 BibExcel 和 CiteSpace 等文献计量工具进行绩效分析和共引网络分析。2000 年至 2020 年共检索到 4127 篇文献。美国发表的文献最多。主要期刊主要集中在医学和工效学。共引分析揭示了 OLBP 研究的发展，排名前三的发表关键词是肌肉骨骼紊乱、危险因素和恐惧回避。本文可以帮助研究人员更广泛和深入地了解 OLBP 研究，对 OLBP 领域的综合表现有一个总体的了解，并找到进一步的研究方向。
