The global trend of research on hyperuricaemia (HUA) has not been well studied. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the trend of research on HUA and compare the findings in publications from different countries, institutions, journals, and authors, to predict the research hotspots.
Publications related to HUA were searched using the Science Citation Index-Expanded Web of Science. The data were analysed by using the bibliometric methodology. Additionally, a graphical mapping was generated by using the VOS viewer software to carry out a co-occurrence analysis and to investigate the trend of publications in this field.
A total of 6313 articles were included. The number of publications was increasing globally yearly. USA was the leading country in global research in this field, with the largest number of publications and citations as well as the highest H-index (H-index reflects both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication). PLOS One published the largest number of publications related to HUA. JOHNSON RJ T has published the largest number of papers in this field. Published studies could be classified into six clusters: 'Pathophysiology', 'HUA and metabolic syndrome', 'HUA and cardiovascular disease', 'HUA and gout', 'HUA and nephropathy', and 'Genome-wide research'. 'Pathophysiology', 'HUA and cardiovascular disease', 'HUA and gout', and 'Genome-wide research' were predicted as the next hot topics in HUA research.
USA was the leading country in global research in this field. It is expected that an increasing research output will continue to be observed in the near future. 'Pathophysiology', 'HUA and cardiovascular disease', 'HUA and gout', and 'Genome-wide research' may be the next hotspots and hence need more attention in the future.
高尿酸血症（HUA）的全球研究趋势尚未得到很好的研究。因此，本研究旨在调查 HUA 的研究趋势，并比较来自不同国家、机构、期刊和作者的研究结果，以预测研究热点。
使用科学引文索引扩展版 Web of Science 搜索与 HUA 相关的出版物。使用文献计量学方法分析数据。此外，还使用 VOS viewer 软件生成图形映射，以进行共现分析，并研究该领域出版物的趋势。
共纳入 6313 篇文章。全球每年发表的文章数量呈上升趋势。美国在该领域的全球研究中处于领先地位，发表的文章和引用数量最多，H 指数（H 指数反映了文章的数量和每篇文章的引用数量）最高。PLOS One 发表了最多的与 HUA 相关的文章。JOHNSON RJ T 在该领域发表的论文数量最多。发表的研究可以分为六个聚类：“病理生理学”、“HUA 与代谢综合征”、“HUA 与心血管疾病”、“HUA 与痛风”、“HUA 与肾病”和“全基因组研究”。“病理生理学”、“HUA 与心血管疾病”、“HUA 与痛风”和“全基因组研究”被预测为 HUA 研究的下一个热点。
美国在该领域的全球研究中处于领先地位。预计在不久的将来，研究成果将继续增加。“病理生理学”、“HUA 与心血管疾病”、“HUA 与痛风”和“全基因组研究”可能是下一个热点，因此未来需要更多关注。
