Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder, affects women of reproductive age, and its adverse consequences affect women throughout their lifespan, from adolescence to postmenopause. The prevalence of depression is much higher in women with PCOS than in healthy controls. Thus, it is recommended that depressive syndrome be screened routinely in all patients with PCOS at diagnosis. To date, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis has been conducted in this field. Therefore, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to describe the current status, trends, and hotspots of PCOS research related to depression.
Using data retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database from 1993 to 2024, bibliometric analyses were performed using WoS and CiteSpace software.
Since the first paper was published in 1993, studies related to PCOS and depression have remained rare in the following decade. Since the establishment of the Rotterdam criteria in 2003, research on the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of PCOS with depressive syndrome has entered a booming period. The United States and Australia indisputably took leading positions in this area, with the most outstanding institutions in the world being the University of Pennsylvania and Monash University. Although achievements have flourished since 2003, the exact pathogenesis of PCOS remains uncertain owing to its heterogeneity. New research is rapidly increasing to fill these gaps and to push forward the goal of improving the quality of life in women with PCOS and depression. Along with progress in research, the world's leading societies organize conferences every 5 years to update guidelines for the assessment and management of PCOS. "Oxidative stress," "inflammation," "obstructive sleep apnea," "gut microbiota," and "single nucleotide polymorphism" appeared as new hotspots in the recent 5 years.
A bibliometric analysis was performed to describe the trends and hotspots of research in women with PCOS and depression to attract the attention of more researchers to this topic.
多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）是一种常见的内分泌紊乱疾病，影响育龄女性，其不良后果会影响女性从青春期到绝经后的整个生命周期。PCOS女性中抑郁症的患病率远高于健康对照者。因此，建议在所有PCOS患者诊断时常规筛查抑郁综合征。迄今为止，该领域尚未进行全面的文献计量分析。因此，我们进行了文献计量分析，以描述与抑郁症相关的PCOS研究的现状、趋势和热点。
使用从1993年至2024年Web of Science（WoS）核心合集数据库检索到的数据，使用WoS和CiteSpace软件进行文献计量分析。
自1993年发表第一篇论文以来，在接下来的十年里，与PCOS和抑郁症相关的研究仍然很少。自2003年鹿特丹标准确立以来，对伴有抑郁综合征的PCOS的病因、发病机制和治疗的研究进入了蓬勃发展时期。美国和澳大利亚在这一领域无可争议地占据领先地位，世界上最杰出的机构是宾夕法尼亚大学和莫纳什大学。尽管自2003年以来取得了丰硕成果，但由于PCOS的异质性，其确切发病机制仍不确定。新的研究正在迅速增加，以填补这些空白，并推动改善PCOS和抑郁症女性生活质量的目标。随着研究的进展，世界领先的学会每5年组织一次会议，以更新PCOS评估和管理指南。“氧化应激”“炎症”“阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停”“肠道微生物群”和“单核苷酸多态性”在最近5年成为新的热点。
进行文献计量分析以描述PCOS和抑郁症女性的研究趋势和热点，以吸引更多研究人员关注这一主题。
