The co-occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis and depression typically exacerbates pain and leads to a range of adverse consequences, becoming a research hotspot in recent years. This study conducted the systematic retrieval of relevant articles within the past five years and employed bibliometric methods for scientometric analysis.
Setting the keywords "Rheumatoid arthritis", "Depression" and "Depressive Disorder", relevant literature published between 2019 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science database. Subsequently, the core information from the literature was subjected to visual analysis via CiteSpace software and bibliometric techniques.
A total of 974 articles related to rheumatoid arthritis and depression were identified through the search strategy, and 877 articles were retained for further analysis after duplicates. The United States (n=173), England (n=82), China (n=69), Canada (n=68), and Germany (n=54) ranked top five countries by publication count. The King's College London was the leading institution with the highest number of publications (n = 20). LANCET PSYCHIATRY was the most frequently cited journal (n = 72) despite having only one article. The top five authors with the largest number of publications include CHARLES N BERNSTEIN (n=14), RUTH ANN MARRIE (n=13), JOHN D FISK (n=12), CAROL A HITCHON (n=12) and SCOTT B PATTEN (n=12), and all these are based in Canada. The keywords with a centrality score exceeding 0.1 were depression, rheumatoid arthritis, symptom, quality of life, impact, fibromyalgia, disease activity, prevalence, inflammation, health, anxiety, pain, fatigue, disease, arthritis and disability.
Related research between the co-occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis and depression was a persistent hotspot, but it still lacks of international collaboration and in-depth mechanistic exploration.
类风湿关节炎与抑郁症并存通常会加剧疼痛并导致一系列不良后果，近年来成为研究热点。本研究对过去五年内的相关文章进行了系统检索，并采用文献计量学方法进行科学计量分析。
以“类风湿关节炎”“抑郁症”和“抑郁障碍”为关键词，从科学引文索引数据库中检索2019年至2023年发表的相关文献。随后，通过CiteSpace软件和文献计量技术对文献的核心信息进行可视化分析。
通过检索策略共识别出974篇与类风湿关节炎和抑郁症相关的文章，去除重复后保留877篇文章进行进一步分析。按发表数量排名前五的国家分别是美国（n = 173）、英国（n = 82）、中国（n = 69）、加拿大（n = 68）和德国（n = 54）。伦敦国王学院是发表文章数量最多的领先机构（n = 20）。尽管《柳叶刀·精神病学》仅有一篇文章，但却是被引用次数最多的期刊（n = 72）。发表文章数量最多的前五名作者包括查尔斯·N·伯恩斯坦（n = 14）、露丝·安·玛丽（n = 13）、约翰·D·菲斯克（n = 12）、卡罗尔·A·希钦（n = 12）和斯科特·B·帕滕（n = 12），他们均来自加拿大。中心性得分超过0.1的关键词有抑郁症、类风湿关节炎、症状、生活质量、影响、纤维肌痛、疾病活动度、患病率、炎症、健康、焦虑、疼痛、疲劳、疾病、关节炎和残疾。
类风湿关节炎与抑郁症并存的相关研究一直是热点，但仍缺乏国际合作和深入的机制探索。
