Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant clinical condition, and ultrasound examination has emerged as a crucial non-invasive imaging method for assessing kidney status, especially in its diagnosis and management. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis to clarify current research trends in ultrasound assessment of AKI.
We conducted a literature search in the Web of Science database using keywords related to ultrasound examinations of acute kidney injury, up to November 15, 2023. The results were analyzed using the bibliometric software package in R. Relevant literature information was analyzed.
A total of 1109 articles were included in the study. Research papers published between 2019 and 2024 demonstrated a significant upward trend. The United States, China, and Italy ranked as the top three countries in terms of publication volume. Among the top 10 research institutions with the highest number of publications, 6 are in the United States, with Université de Montréal being the institution with the most publications. Keyword trends focused on: resistive index, risk factors, therapy, glomerular filtration rate, survival, etc. CONCLUSION: This bibliometric study highlights the advancements in ultrasound examination for AKI and underscores the importance of such analyses in determining research trends. Future research should emphasize the integration of various imaging techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical management of AKI.
急性肾损伤（AKI）是一种重要的临床病症，超声检查已成为评估肾脏状况的关键非侵入性成像方法，尤其是在其诊断和管理方面。本研究旨在进行文献计量分析，以阐明急性肾损伤超声评估的当前研究趋势。
我们在Web of Science数据库中使用与急性肾损伤超声检查相关的关键词进行文献检索，截至2023年11月15日。使用R中的文献计量软件包对结果进行分析。分析相关文献信息。
本研究共纳入1109篇文章。2019年至2024年发表的研究论文呈显著上升趋势。美国、中国和意大利在发文量方面位列前三。在发文量最高的前10个研究机构中，有6个在美国，蒙特利尔大学是发文量最多的机构。关键词趋势集中在：阻力指数、危险因素、治疗、肾小球滤过率、生存率等。结论：这项文献计量研究突出了急性肾损伤超声检查的进展，并强调了此类分析在确定研究趋势方面的重要性。未来的研究应强调整合各种成像技术，以提高急性肾损伤的诊断准确性和临床管理水平。
