This study aims to facilitate researchers' and clinicians' understanding of research frontiers and trends in nocturia. It explores the scientific research outcomes and key bibliometric indices and plots global research on nocturia.
A bibliometric retrospective study was designed, and an online search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database using the potential search keywords related to nocturia in the title field with some specific filtration. HistCite™ and VOSviewer software for windows were used to analyze the data obtained for authors, journals, countries, institutions, keywords, and visualization mapping.
The initial search retrieved 1479 hits. A total of 1445 publications were included in the final analysis. Of these, 43.53% were published as articles. The most studied area in nocturia is urology nephrology. The most productive year was 2019 (n = 121, citations = 335), and the most prolific author, both in terms of publications (n = 97) and citations (1658) was Weiss JP. The most cited journal in nocturia research was the Journal of Urology (n = 293, citations = 3050). The most widely used keyword in nocturia publications was nocturia (n = 1249). Visualization mapping shows that the USA was the most influential and highly cited country in nocturia research.
This study showed that there has been an increasing research trend in nocturia over the past few years. The current findings provide important empirical evidence for researchers, clinicians, and physicians to understand research frontiers and trends, achievements, collaborative networks, and hotspot research topics in the research field of nocturia.
本研究旨在帮助研究人员和临床医生了解夜尿症的研究前沿和趋势。它探讨了夜尿症的科学研究成果和关键计量指标，并绘制了全球夜尿症研究的图谱。
设计了一项文献计量学回顾性研究，在 Web of Science 核心合集数据库中使用标题字段中与夜尿症相关的潜在搜索关键字进行在线搜索，并进行了一些特定的筛选。使用 HistCiteTM 和 VOSviewer 软件对获得的数据进行了作者、期刊、国家、机构、关键词和可视化映射分析。
初步搜索得到 1479 个命中结果。最终分析共纳入 1445 篇文献。其中，43.53%的文献以文章形式发表。夜尿症研究最活跃的领域是泌尿肾病学。最具生产力的年份是 2019 年（n = 121，引文 = 335），发表文献（n = 97）和引文（1658）最多的作者是 Weiss JP。夜尿症研究中引用最多的期刊是《泌尿外科杂志》（n = 293，引文 = 3050）。夜尿症文献中使用最广泛的关键词是夜尿症（n = 1249）。可视化图谱显示，美国是夜尿症研究中最具影响力和高引用的国家。
本研究表明，近年来夜尿症的研究趋势呈上升趋势。目前的研究结果为研究人员、临床医生和医生提供了重要的经验证据，有助于了解夜尿症研究领域的研究前沿和趋势、成就、合作网络以及热点研究课题。
