Hyperthyroidism is a common condition associated with osteoporosis, heart disease, and increased mortality. However, bibliometric analyses on hyperthyroidism are scarce. This study aimed to characterize the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism through bibliometric analysis.
We retrieved the relevant literature on the diagnosis and management of hyperthyroidism published from 2004 to 2024 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. Bibliometric analysis was performed via CiteSpace and VOSviewer.
We identified 6,041 publications from 629 countries/regions. The annual number of related publications showed a steady increase over time. Among countries/regions, the United States led in publication volume, while the University of Pisa led among the contributing institutions. had the highest publication output, while was the most frequently cited journal. This identified publications involving 28,157 authors, with Lazlo Hegedüs being the most prolific author. The most frequently cited articles were the "2016 American Thyroid Association Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Hyperthyroidism and Other Causes of Thyrotoxicosis" and the "2018 European Thyroid Association Guideline for the Management of Graves' Hyperthyroidism". In terms of keywords, "Graves' disease" and "guidelines" were the most frequently used terms in the field of hyperthyroidism diagnosis and treatment.
This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive analysis of publications on the diagnosis and management of hyperthyroidism. Key research hotspots include management strategies for Graves' disease, international treatment guidelines and emerging areas such as immunotherapy for hyperthyroidism, which suggests the future directions, potential opportunities, and challenges in the field.
甲状腺功能亢进症是一种常见疾病，与骨质疏松症、心脏病及死亡率增加相关。然而，关于甲状腺功能亢进症的文献计量分析较少。本研究旨在通过文献计量分析描述甲状腺功能亢进症诊断和治疗方面的文献特征。
我们从科学网核心合集（WOSCC）数据库中检索了2004年至2024年发表的有关甲状腺功能亢进症诊断和管理的相关文献。通过CiteSpace和VOSviewer进行文献计量分析。
我们识别出来自629个国家/地区的6041篇出版物。相关出版物的年数量随时间呈稳步增长。在国家/地区中，美国的出版物数量领先，而贡献机构中比萨大学排名第一。 的出版物产出最高，而 是被引用最频繁的期刊。这些出版物涉及28157名作者，拉兹洛·赫格迪斯是发文量最多的作者。被引用最频繁的文章是《2016年美国甲状腺协会甲状腺功能亢进症及其他甲状腺毒症病因的诊断和管理指南》和《2018年欧洲甲状腺协会格雷夫斯甲状腺功能亢进症管理指南》。在关键词方面，“格雷夫斯病”和“指南”是甲状腺功能亢进症诊断和治疗领域最常用的术语。
这项文献计量研究对甲状腺功能亢进症诊断和管理的出版物进行了全面分析。关键研究热点包括格雷夫斯病的管理策略、国际治疗指南以及甲状腺功能亢进症免疫治疗等新兴领域，这提示了该领域的未来方向、潜在机遇和挑战。
