Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that frequently results in disability. It has a negative impact on patients' quality of life and puts an enormous budgetary and societal burden on society. The most effective treatment for AS has grown to be a significant issue worldwide. In order to pinpoint research focus and trends in this region, we performed a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 cited papers in this study. We searched the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) on the Web of Science (WOS) and selected the top 100 cited papers based on AS. The pertinent literature from various years, journals, nations/regions, institutions, authors, keywords, and references were then examined. To construct knowledge maps, we used the VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Scimago Graphica programs. Excel was then used to compile the information from the pertinent literature that we had retrieved, and we were able to make predictions about the focus and trends that were currently occurring in the field. Between 1999 and 2019, the top 100 cited papers appeared in 23 journals from 36 different nations and regions. Annals of the rheumatic diseases published the majority of the articles, while Lancet had the highest average number of citations per paper. Germany contributed the most publications, followed by the Netherlands and the USA. In terms of the total number of publications, Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet contributed the most papers, followed by University Hospital Maastricht and Leiden University. The three major categories are Rheumatology, Medicine, General & Internal, and Genetics & Heredity, whereas the top 5 co-occurrence of keywords included rheumatoid arthritis, double-blind, disease activity, efficacy, and infliximab. The cluster analysis results indicate that inflammation and immunology, safe and effective therapies, and placebo-controlled trials may be focus and trends for future AS research. Bibliometric analysis can swiftly and visually identify the focus and boundaries of AS research. Our findings imply that inflammation and immunology, safe and effective therapies, and placebo-controlled trials may be focus and trends for future AS research.
强直性脊柱炎（AS）是一种常导致残疾的慢性炎症性疾病。它对患者的生活质量有负面影响，并给社会带来巨大的预算和社会负担。AS最有效的治疗方法已成为全球一个重要问题。为了确定该领域的研究重点和趋势，我们在本研究中对被引频次最高的100篇论文进行了文献计量分析。我们在科学网（WOS）上搜索了科学引文索引扩展版（SCI-Expanded），并根据AS选择了被引频次最高的100篇论文。然后对来自不同年份、期刊、国家/地区、机构、作者、关键词和参考文献的相关文献进行了审查。为构建知识图谱，我们使用了VOSviewer、CiteSpace和Scimago Graphica程序。然后使用Excel汇编我们检索到的相关文献中的信息，并能够对该领域当前出现的重点和趋势进行预测。1999年至2019年期间，被引频次最高的100篇论文发表在来自36个不同国家和地区的23种期刊上。《风湿病年鉴》发表的文章最多，而《柳叶刀》每篇论文的平均被引次数最高。德国的出版物数量最多，其次是荷兰和美国。就出版物总数而言，鲁尔区风湿病中心贡献的论文最多，其次是马斯特里赫特大学医院和莱顿大学。三大类别是风湿病学、医学、综合与内科以及遗传学与遗传，而关键词共现次数排名前5的包括类风湿性关节炎、双盲、疾病活动度、疗效和英夫利昔单抗。聚类分析结果表明，炎症与免疫学、安全有效的治疗方法以及安慰剂对照试验可能是未来AS研究的重点和趋势。文献计量分析可以快速直观地确定AS研究的重点和边界。我们的研究结果表明，炎症与免疫学、安全有效的治疗方法以及安慰剂对照试验可能是未来AS研究的重点和趋势。
