Fatigue significantly influences and predicts quality of life, social function, and graft survival after kidney transplantation. Accurate assessment and management of fatigue in kidney transplant recipients are vital, especially when planning treatment strategies and potential rehabilitation programs. However, there is no bibliometric report in this area.
The Web of Science Core Collection for all original articles and reviews published in English on this topic was searched up from 1 January 1978 to 31 December 2023. A total of 719 articles meeting inclusion criteria were analyzed using bibliometric approaches.
The United States is the most influential country in this research area, with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education being the most prolific institution. The Transplantation and American Journal of Transplantation emerged as the foremost in publishing articles in this field. The highest-frequency keywords were quality of life, kidney transplantation, chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and fatigue. Besides, important research topics included kidney transplantation, quality of life, dialysis, fatigue, and depression.
Kidney transplant-related fatigue has been gradually concerned by scholars, with research focusing on its impact on quality of life, chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and depression. However, the current body of research remains largely descriptive, with limited studies on effective prevention and intervention strategies. Future research should prioritize the development of targeted interventions to address fatigue in kidney transplant recipients, incorporating multidisciplinary approaches involving clinical medicine, psychology, and rehabilitation. Promising strategies may include psychological therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapies, personalized exercise programs, and optimized medication management.
疲劳对肾移植后的生活质量、社会功能和移植物存活有显著影响并可进行预测。准确评估和管理肾移植受者的疲劳至关重要，尤其是在制定治疗策略和潜在康复计划时。然而，该领域尚无文献计量学报告。
检索了1978年1月1日至2023年12月31日在Web of Science核心合集中发表的关于该主题的所有英文原创文章和综述。使用文献计量学方法对总共719篇符合纳入标准的文章进行了分析。
美国是该研究领域最具影响力的国家，宾夕法尼亚联邦高等教育系统是发文量最多的机构。《移植》和《美国移植杂志》是该领域发表文章最多的期刊。出现频率最高的关键词是生活质量、肾移植、慢性肾脏病、透析和疲劳。此外，重要的研究主题包括肾移植、生活质量、透析、疲劳和抑郁。
肾移植相关疲劳已逐渐受到学者关注，研究重点在于其对生活质量、慢性肾脏病、透析和抑郁的影响。然而，目前的研究主体在很大程度上仍为描述性，关于有效预防和干预策略的研究有限。未来研究应优先开发针对性干预措施以解决肾移植受者的疲劳问题，纳入涉及临床医学、心理学和康复的多学科方法。有前景的策略可能包括认知行为疗法等心理治疗、个性化运动计划和优化药物管理。
