BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Age-related hearing loss, also termed presbycusis, is the most prevalent sensory impairment in older adults. Presbycusis research has considerably advanced over the past few decades, however, comprehensive and objective reports on the current state of presbycusis research are lacking. We used bibliometric methods to objectively analyzed the progress of presbycusis research over the past 20 years and to identify the research hotspots and emerging trends in this field.
METHODS
Eligible literature metadata published between 2002 and 2021 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection on September 1, 2022. Bibliometric tools including CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix R Package, Microsoft Excel 2019, and an online bibliometric platform were used to conduct bibliometric and visualized analyses.
RESULTS
A total of 1,693 publications related to presbycusis were retrieved. The number of publications increased continuously from 2002 to 2021, and the USA occupied the lead position in the field, with the highest research output. The most productive and influential institution, author, and journal were the University of California, Frisina DR of the University of South Florida, and Hearing Research, respectively. Co-citation cluster and trend topics analyses revealed that "cochlear synaptopathy", "oxidative stress", and "dementia" were the predominant foci of presbycusis research. Burst detection of keywords indicated that "auditory cortex" and "Alzheimer's disease" were the newly-emerged aspects.
CONCLUSION
During the past two decades, presbycusis research has been flourishing. The current research foci are "cochlear synaptopathy", "oxidative stress", and "dementia". "Auditory cortex" and "Alzheimer's disease" may be potential future directions in this field. This bibliometric analysis represents the first quantitative overview of presbycusis research, thus providing valuable references and insights for scholars, medical practitioners, and policymakers concerned with this field.
背景与目的
年龄相关性听力损失，也称为老年性聋，是老年人中最常见的感觉障碍。在过去几十年中，老年性聋的研究有了很大进展，然而，目前缺乏关于老年性聋研究现状的全面且客观的报告。我们采用文献计量学方法，客观分析过去20年老年性聋研究的进展，并确定该领域的研究热点和新趋势。
方法
2022年9月1日从科学网核心合集获取2002年至2021年期间发表的符合条件的文献元数据。使用包括CiteSpace、VOSviewer、Bibliometrix R包、Microsoft Excel 2019和一个在线文献计量平台在内的文献计量工具进行文献计量和可视化分析。
结果
共检索到1693篇与老年性聋相关的出版物。从2002年到2021年，出版物数量持续增加，美国在该领域占据领先地位，研究产出最高。最具生产力和影响力的机构、作者和期刊分别是加利福尼亚大学、南佛罗里达大学的弗里西纳·DR以及《听力研究》。共被引聚类和趋势主题分析表明，“耳蜗突触病变”“氧化应激”和“痴呆”是老年性聋研究的主要焦点。关键词的突发检测表明，“听觉皮层”和“阿尔茨海默病”是新出现的方面。
结论
在过去二十年中，老年性聋研究蓬勃发展。当前的研究重点是“耳蜗突触病变”“氧化应激”和“痴呆”。“听觉皮层”和“阿尔茨海默病”可能是该领域未来的潜在方向。这项文献计量分析代表了对老年性聋研究的首次定量概述，从而为该领域的学者、医学从业者和政策制定者提供了有价值的参考和见解。
