Urinary incontinence (UI) is prevalent and imposes significant social and economic burdens. This study reviews the literature on UI, assesses the current research status, and projects future trends. To visualize and analyze UI-related research, summarize and generalize the knowledge framework of the global UI field, and explore the current state of research and emerging trends, we conducted a comprehensive search of UI-related studies from 2014 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection. Utilizing VOSviewer software, we mapped the scientific landscape and performed visual analytics on collaborative and co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrences, emergent clusters, and timeline mapping to elucidate the research dynamics. A total of 4326 publications were retrieved for further analysis. The United States ranked first in terms of the total number of publications, number of citations, and publication H-index. In terms of institutions, the University of California System had the most total citations and the highest H-index. Neurology and Urodynamics had the most articles published, the highest citation frequency, and the highest H-index. The author with the most citations and the highest average number of citations per article is Abrams P. The author with the highest H-index is Peyronnet B. Based on the keyword analysis, the articles were categorized into several main directions: epidemiological studies, diagnostic studies, treatment studies, female UI studies, and male UI studies. Epidemiology, treatment, and male UI are expected to continue as hot topics. This study demonstrates that UI research is more advanced in Europe and North America and that Neurourology and Urodynamics is the most influential journal in the field. In addition, epidemiology, treatment, and male UI will continue to be prominent topics. Our study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the current state of UI research and provides insights into future research directions in the field.
尿失禁（UI）普遍存在，给社会和经济带来了重大负担。本研究综述了 UI 相关文献，评估了当前的研究现状，并预测了未来的趋势。为了可视化和分析 UI 相关研究，总结和概括全球 UI 领域的知识框架，并探讨当前的研究状态和新兴趋势，我们使用 Web of Science Core Collection 对 2014 年至 2024 年期间的 UI 相关研究进行了全面检索。利用 VOSviewer 软件，我们绘制了科学图谱，并对合作和共引网络、关键词共现、新兴集群和时间线映射进行了可视化分析，以阐明研究动态。共检索到 4326 篇文献进行进一步分析。美国在发表的论文总数、被引次数和论文 H 指数方面排名第一。就机构而言，加州大学系统的总被引次数和 H 指数最高。神经病学和尿动力学发表的文章最多，被引频次最高，H 指数最高。被引次数最多和平均每篇文章被引次数最高的作者是 Abrams P。H 指数最高的作者是 Peyronnet B。根据关键词分析，文章分为几个主要方向：流行病学研究、诊断研究、治疗研究、女性 UI 研究和男性 UI 研究。预计流行病学、治疗和男性 UI 将继续成为热门话题。本研究表明，欧洲和北美的 UI 研究更为先进，《神经泌尿学和尿动力学》是该领域最有影响力的期刊。此外，流行病学、治疗和男性 UI 将继续成为突出的主题。本研究有助于更全面地了解 UI 研究的现状，并为该领域的未来研究方向提供了见解。
