This bibliometric review aimed to provide a general picture and systematic mapping of research trends in palliative care (PC) and nutrition internationally. The Web of Science (WoS) database was searched on May 7, 2024, for original articles focusing on PC and nutrition between 1970 and 2023. Relevant publications were searched using the Thompson Reuters Science Citation Index (SCI) search engine with the keywords "palliative care," "palliative care unit," "nutrition," and "palliative care and nutrition." A total of 918 articles were found in 391 sources with the participation of 4772 authors. An average of 18.32 citations per article was identified. When analyzed by country, the United States of America (USA) had the highest number of publications (n = 210), followed by Germany (n = 71) and France (n = 69). In the list of the most frequently repeated keywords in the field of PC and nutrition, the most commonly used words were "palliative care" and "end." Other common terms included "nutrition," "quality of life," and "hydration." Additional frequently used words were "cancer," "symptoms," and "management.." This study is the first step toward analyzing and mapping research related to PC and nutrition. It shows that the number of publications related to PC and nutrition has steadily increased between 1991 and 2023. United State of America and European countries are the top publishers and receive the most citations. Hot topics in the field include "end," "nutrition," "quality of life," "hydration," "cancer," "symptoms," and "management," highlighting the complexity of the subject.
这项文献计量学综述旨在全面呈现国际上姑息治疗（PC）与营养领域的研究趋势并进行系统梳理。于2024年5月7日在科学网（WoS）数据库中检索1970年至2023年间聚焦于PC与营养的原创文章。使用汤森路透科学引文索引（SCI）搜索引擎，以“姑息治疗”“姑息治疗单元”“营养”以及“姑息治疗与营养”为关键词检索相关出版物。共从391个来源中找到918篇文章，涉及4772位作者。每篇文章平均被引18.32次。按国家分析时，美国的出版物数量最多（n = 210），其次是德国（n = 71）和法国（n = 69）。在PC与营养领域最常重复的关键词列表中，最常用的词汇是“姑息治疗”和“终末期”。其他常见术语包括“营养”“生活质量”和“水化”。另外常用的词汇有“癌症”“症状”和“管理”。本研究是分析和梳理与PC和营养相关研究的第一步。结果表明，1991年至2023年间，与PC和营养相关的出版物数量稳步增加。美国和欧洲国家是主要的出版国且被引次数最多。该领域的热门话题包括“终末期”“营养”“生活质量”“水化”“癌症”“症状”和“管理”，凸显了该主题的复杂性。
