Asthma and depression are prevalent conditions with significant comorbidity, impacting patients' quality of life. This bibliometric study aims to analyze research trends and hotspots in the field from 2000 to 2023, identifying key contributions and predicting future directions.
We conducted a systematic search in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) for articles on asthma and depression, published between 2000 and 2023. Bibliometrics, which involves the application of mathematical and statistical methods to analyze scholarly literature, was employed in this study to systematically assess the research trends and hotspots in the field of asthma and depression. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were utilized for visual analysis and data visualization, enabling us to map collaboration networks and identify research hotspots and trends within the asthma and depression literature.
Our analysis retrieved 3067 papers from 937 journals, involving 14,631 authors and 4006 institutions across 106 countries. The United States, Columbia University, the Journal of Asthma, and Christer Janson were the most prolific contributors. Six primary research themes emerged: quality of life, childhood asthma, primary care, substance P, intervention, and emotion. Additionally, Burst detection analysis identified emerging topics, including severe asthma, other respiratory diseases, and oxidative stress.
This bibliometric analysis has revealed significant insights into the research trends and hotspots in the field of asthma and depression. The primary findings indicate a growing body of research highlighting the impact of depression on asthma control and patients' quality of life, the need for psychological interventions in treating comorbid asthma and depression, and the emerging focus on severe asthma and oxidative stress mechanisms. These findings underscore the importance of continued research in these areas to advance our understanding and improve clinical outcomes for patients with these comorbid conditions.
哮喘和抑郁症是常见疾病，且共病情况严重，影响患者生活质量。本文献计量学研究旨在分析2000年至2023年该领域的研究趋势和热点，确定关键贡献并预测未来方向。
我们在科学网核心合集（WoSCC）中系统检索了2000年至2023年发表的关于哮喘和抑郁症的文章。本研究采用文献计量学方法，即应用数学和统计方法分析学术文献，以系统评估哮喘和抑郁症领域的研究趋势和热点。使用VOSviewer和CiteSpace软件进行可视化分析和数据可视化，使我们能够绘制合作网络，并识别哮喘和抑郁症文献中的研究热点和趋势。
我们的分析从937种期刊中检索到3067篇论文，涉及106个国家的14631名作者和4006个机构。美国、哥伦比亚大学、《哮喘杂志》和克里斯特·扬松是贡献最多的机构和个人。出现了六个主要研究主题：生活质量、儿童哮喘、初级保健、P物质、干预和情绪。此外，突发检测分析确定了新兴主题，包括重度哮喘、其他呼吸系统疾病和氧化应激。
本文献计量学分析揭示了哮喘和抑郁症领域研究趋势和热点的重要见解。主要研究结果表明，越来越多的研究强调抑郁症对哮喘控制和患者生活质量的影响，治疗哮喘和抑郁症共病需要心理干预，以及对重度哮喘和氧化应激机制的新关注。这些发现强调了在这些领域持续研究的重要性，以增进我们的理解并改善这些共病患者的临床结局。
