The global incidence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is increasing, with increasing suicide reports. However, the bibliometric analysis of global research on PMS and PMDD is rare. We aimed to evaluate the global scientific output of research on PMS and PMDD and to explore their research hotspots and frontiers from 1945 to 2018 using a bibliometric analysis methodology. Articles with research on PMS and PMDD between 1945 and 2018 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). We used the bibliometric method, CiteSpace V and VOSviewer to analyze publication years, journals, countries, institutions, authors, research hotspots, and trends. We plotted the reference co-citation network, and we used keywords to analyze the research hotspots and trends. We identified 2,833 publications on PMS and PMDD research from 1945 to 2018, and the annual publication number increased with time, with fluctuations. Psychoneuroendocrinology published the highest number of articles. The USA ranked the highest among the countries with the most publications, and the leading institute was UNIV PENN. Keyword and reference analysis indicated that the menstrual cycle, depression and ovarian hormones were the research hotspots, whereas prevalence, systematic review, anxiety and depression and young women were the research frontiers. We depicted overall research on PMS and PMDD by a bibliometric analysis methodology. Prevalence and impact in young women, systematic review evaluations of risk factors, and the association of anxiety and depression with menstrual cycle phases are the latest research frontiers that will pioneer the direction of research in the next few years.
经前期综合征（PMS）和经前期烦躁障碍（PMDD）的全球发病率正在上升，自杀报告也在增加。然而，对 PMS 和 PMDD 全球研究的文献计量分析却很少见。我们旨在使用文献计量分析方法评估 1945 年至 2018 年期间 PMS 和 PMDD 研究的全球科学产出，并探讨其研究热点和前沿。从 1945 年至 2018 年，从 Web of Science Core Collection（WoSCC）中检索到有关 PMS 和 PMDD 的研究文章。我们使用文献计量方法、CiteSpace V 和 VOSviewer 分析了出版物年份、期刊、国家、机构、作者、研究热点和趋势。我们绘制了参考文献共被引网络，并使用关键词分析了研究热点和趋势。我们从 1945 年至 2018 年确定了 2833 篇关于 PMS 和 PMDD 研究的出版物，且年发表数量随时间增加而波动。《心理神经内分泌学》发表的文章数量最多。美国在发表文章最多的国家中排名最高，领先的机构是宾夕法尼亚大学。关键词和参考文献分析表明，月经周期、抑郁和卵巢激素是研究热点，而患病率、系统评价、焦虑和抑郁以及年轻女性是研究前沿。我们通过文献计量分析方法描绘了 PMS 和 PMDD 的总体研究情况。年轻女性的患病率和影响、对危险因素的系统评价评估以及焦虑和抑郁与月经周期阶段的关系是最新的研究前沿，将在未来几年开创研究方向。
