With the COVID-19 pandemic and the serious sequelae, foreign factor-induced Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has become a research focus in autoimmune peripheral neuropathies. The study employs a bibliometric system to illustrate the research hotspots and trends in GBS based on pertinent literature from January 2013 to October 2023.
The Web of Science Core Collection retrieved articles on GBS from January 1, 2013, to October 28, 2023. These articles were then visualized and statistically evaluated using VOSviewer, CiteSpace software, R version 4.2.1, and Microsoft Office Excel 2019.
A total of 4269 articles on GBS were gathered. The United States of America produced the most publications (28.55%, 1219/4269), followed by China (14.22%, 607/4269). The world's leading country was the United States of America, with the most publications, the most substantial international cooperation, and the highest centrality (0.17). Union of French Research Universities (UDICE)-French Research Universities in France was the most productive organization (189 articles). Lancet was the highest cocited journal (2428), and Professor Jacobs, Bart C., was the most prolific author (93). The most significant increases were shown for the keywords coronavirus, respiratory failure, and coronavirus disease 2019. The novel coronavirus is an emerging virus that may cause GBS, indicating a promising area of research.
The study on GBS was illustrated using bibliometrics, and it covers trends in international collaboration, publications, and research hotspots. These findings allow the scientific community to pinpoint the novel ideas and directions that will drive future GBS research.
随着新冠疫情及其严重后遗症的出现，外因性格林-巴利综合征（GBS）已成为自身免疫性周围神经病的研究热点。本研究采用文献计量学方法，基于2013年1月至2023年10月的相关文献，阐述GBS的研究热点和趋势。
通过科学网核心合集检索2013年1月1日至2023年10月28日期间关于GBS的文章。然后使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace软件、R 4.2.1版本以及Microsoft Office Excel 2019对这些文章进行可视化和统计评估。
共收集到4269篇关于GBS的文章。美国发表的文章数量最多（28.55%，1219/4269），其次是中国（14.22%，607/4269）。世界领先国家是美国，其发表文章最多，国际合作最广泛，中心性最高（0.17）。法国大学联合研究机构（UDICE）-法国的法国研究型大学是产出最多的组织（189篇文章）。《柳叶刀》是被共引次数最多的期刊（2428次），雅各布斯教授（Bart C. Jacobs）是发文量最多的作者（93篇）。关键词“冠状病毒”“呼吸衰竭”和“2019冠状病毒病”的增长最为显著。新型冠状病毒是一种可能导致GBS的新兴病毒，表明这是一个有前景的研究领域。
本研究采用文献计量学方法阐述了GBS的研究情况，涵盖了国际合作、出版物及研究热点的趋势。这些发现使科学界能够确定推动未来GBS研究的新思想和新方向。
