In recent years, there has been an increasing number of publications on Meniere's disease. However, there are no bibliometric research on Meniere's disease. The purpose of this study was to find the focus and trends of Meniere's disease research through bibliometric approach.
Publications related to Meniere's disease in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from 2002 to 2021 were collected. The bibliometric approach was used to estimate the searched data. Research foci of the studies were identified using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.
A total of 1,987 articles meet the inclusion criteria and are included in the study. In the past 20 years, the number of Meniere's disease publications is gradually increasing, especially in the past 3 years. The country with the largest contribution to Meniere's disease research is the United States, followed by Europe and Japan. High-frequency keywords included Meniere's disease, endolymphaic hydrops, vertigo, meniere-disease, inner ear, dizziness, symptoms, hearing, diagnosis, and tentamicin. The analyses of keyword burst direction indicate that evoked myogenic potential, MRI, and committee are emerging research hotspots.
This study provides an objective, systematic, and comprehensive analysis of Meniere's disease-related literature. In addition, we find a dramatic increase in studies in this field over the past 3 years. Evoked myogenic potentials and MRI may become the research hotspots of Meniere's disease in future. This study will help otolaryngologists, neurologists, and audiologists to clarify the research direction and potential hotspots of Meniere's disease and further help clinicians improve patients' prognosis.
近年来，关于梅尼埃病的出版物数量不断增加。然而，尚未有关于梅尼埃病的文献计量学研究。本研究的目的是通过文献计量学方法找出梅尼埃病研究的重点和趋势。
收集了2002年至2021年科学引文索引核心合集（WOSCC）中与梅尼埃病相关的出版物。采用文献计量学方法对检索到的数据进行评估。使用VOSviewer和CiteSpace软件确定研究的重点。
共有1987篇文章符合纳入标准并被纳入本研究。在过去20年中，梅尼埃病出版物的数量逐渐增加，尤其是在过去3年。对梅尼埃病研究贡献最大的国家是美国，其次是欧洲和日本。高频关键词包括梅尼埃病、内淋巴积水、眩晕、梅尼埃氏病、内耳、头晕、症状、听力、诊断和庆大霉素。关键词突发方向分析表明，诱发肌源性电位、磁共振成像和委员会是新兴的研究热点。
本研究对梅尼埃病相关文献进行了客观、系统和全面的分析。此外，我们发现该领域在过去3年的研究有显著增加。诱发肌源性电位和磁共振成像可能成为未来梅尼埃病的研究热点。本研究将有助于耳鼻喉科医生、神经科医生和听力学家明确梅尼埃病的研究方向和潜在热点，并进一步帮助临床医生改善患者的预后。
