This study aims to assess the intersection of OSA with radiological imaging through bibliometric analysis, exploring research trends and emerging hotspots to identify future research directions.
This study conducted a literature search for publications related to OSA and radiological imaging from 2004 to 2023 in the Web of Science database. We utilized tools such as CiteSpace, R language, and VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis to explore key trends and hotspots in this interdisciplinary field.
The search yielded 2,000 publications, showing a fluctuating upward trend in publication volume. Research predominantly originates from countries/regions such as the United States, China, and Turkey. Leading journals in this field include Sleep, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, and Chest; with 7,202 research institutions involved, notable ones include the University of California system, Harvard University, the University System of Ohio, Capital Medical University, and Seoul National University. A total of 10,099 researchers have contributed to this field, including prominent figures such as Kumar R, Harper RM, and Schwab RJ. Keyword analysis indicates current research hotspots are imaging diagnostic techniques for OSAHS, comorbidities associated with OSAHS, and the pathogenesis of OSAHS-related comorbidities.
Currently, imaging studies on OSAHS are increasingly becoming a focal area, and new imaging diagnostic techniques for OSAHS require further validation through studies with larger sample sizes and more standardized methods. Additionally, research into the interactions between OSAHS and its comorbidities, different pathogenic mechanisms, and the integration of neuroimaging biomarkers with negative cognitive outcomes urgently needs to be deepened.
本研究旨在通过文献计量分析评估阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）与放射影像学的交叉领域，探索研究趋势和新兴热点，以确定未来的研究方向。
本研究在科学网数据库中对2004年至2023年期间与OSA和放射影像学相关的出版物进行了文献检索。我们利用CiteSpace、R语言和VOSviewer等工具进行文献计量分析，以探索这一跨学科领域的关键趋势和热点。
检索共得到2000篇出版物，发文量呈波动上升趋势。研究主要来自美国、中国和土耳其等国家/地区。该领域的主要期刊包括《睡眠》《美国呼吸与危重症医学杂志》和《胸部》；涉及7202个研究机构，其中 notable ones包括加利福尼亚大学系统、哈佛大学、俄亥俄大学系统、首都医科大学和首尔国立大学。共有10099名研究人员为该领域做出了贡献，包括Kumar R、Harper RM和Schwab RJ等知名人士。关键词分析表明，当前的研究热点是OSAHS的影像诊断技术、与OSAHS相关的合并症以及OSAHS相关合并症的发病机制。
目前，关于OSAHS的影像学研究日益成为一个重点领域，OSAHS的新影像诊断技术需要通过更大样本量和更标准化方法的研究进行进一步验证。此外，对OSAHS与其合并症之间的相互作用、不同致病机制以及神经影像学生物标志物与负面认知结果的整合的研究迫切需要深化。
