In recent years, there has been increasing research on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), leading to many publications on this topic. To our knowledge, no study has focused on the research trends in this field.
Using the Web of Science Core Collection database for all articles on AIS, the number of citations, authorship, year of publication, journal of publication, country and institution of origin, and keywords were subjected to co-occurrence analysis using VOSviewer software. The top 100 most-cited articles on AIS were analyzed.
Between 1985 and 2020, 2266 articles related to AIS were identified. The frequency of publication on AIS has increased substantially over time. Among all countries, the United States has contributed the most articles on AIS (n = 671). The most productive institution has been Nanjing University (n = 154). Spine topped the list of journals and has published 569 AIS-related articles, which received 19,862 total citations. The clinical description of AIS has been the most common research focus in the AIS literature.
The scientific literature on AIS has rapidly expanded in recent years. This study represents the updated bibliometric analysis of scientific articles on AIS and provides a research trend for the first time, which aims to give a unique insight into the development of AIS research focus and serve as a useful guide to clinicians and researchers in the field.
近年来，对青少年特发性脊柱侧凸（AIS）的研究不断增加，因此出现了许多关于该主题的出版物。据我们所知，尚无研究关注该领域的研究趋势。
使用 Web of Science Core Collection 数据库收录的所有 AIS 文章，使用 VOSviewer 软件对引文数量、作者、发表年份、出版物、来源国家和机构以及关键词进行共现分析。对 AIS 被引频次最高的前 100 篇文章进行分析。
1985 年至 2020 年间，共检索到 2266 篇与 AIS 相关的文章。关于 AIS 的出版物数量随时间呈大幅增加趋势。在所有国家中，美国发表的 AIS 文章最多（n=671）。最具生产力的机构是南京大学（n=154）。Spine 位居期刊榜首，发表了 569 篇与 AIS 相关的文章，共获得 19862 次总引用。AIS 的临床描述一直是 AIS 文献中最常见的研究重点。
近年来，关于 AIS 的科学文献迅速增加。本研究代表了对 AIS 科学文章的最新文献计量分析，并首次提供了研究趋势，旨在为 AIS 研究重点的发展提供独特的见解，并为该领域的临床医生和研究人员提供有用的指导。
