Abstract
Background: Epidemiological surveys indicate an increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among children and adolescents worldwide. Due to rapid disease progression, severe long-term cardiorenal complications, a lack of effective treatment strategies, and substantial socioeconomic burdens, it has become an urgent public health issue that requires management and resolution. Adolescent T2DM differs from adult T2DM. Despite a significant increase in our understanding of youth-onset T2DM over the past two decades, the related review and evidence-based content remain limited.
Aim: To visualize the hotspots and trends in pediatric and adolescent T2DM research and to forecast their future research themes.
Methods: This study utilized the terms "children", "adolescents", and "type 2 diabetes", retrieving relevant articles published between 1983 and 2023 from three citation databases within the Web of Science Core Collection (SCI, SSCI, ESCI). Utilizing CiteSpace and VoSviewer software, we analyze and visually represent the annual output of literature, countries involved, and participating institutions. This allows us to predict trends in this research field. Our analysis encompasses co-cited authors, journal overlays, citation overlays, time-zone views, keyword analysis, and reference analysis, etc.
Results: A total of 9210 articles were included, and the annual publication volume in this field showed a steady growth trend. The United States had the highest number of publications and the highest H-index. The United States also had the most research institutions and the strongest research capacity. The global hot journals were primarily diabetes professional journals but also included journals related to nutrition, endocrinology, and metabolism. Keyword analysis showed that research related to endothelial dysfunction, exposure risk, cardiac metabolic risk, changes in gut microbiota, the impact on comorbidities and outcomes, etc., were emerging keywords. They have maintained their popularity in this field, suggesting that these areas have garnered significant research interest in recent years.
Conclusion: Pediatric and adolescent T2DM is increasingly drawing global attention, with genes, behaviors, environmental factors, and multisystemic interventions potentially emerging as future research hot spots.
背景：流行病学调查表明，世界范围内儿童和青少年中2型糖尿病（T2DM）的发病率正在上升。由于疾病进展迅速，严重的长期心肾并发症，缺乏有效的治疗策略，以及巨大的社会经济负担，它已成为一个迫切的公共卫生问题，需要管理和解决。青少年T2DM不同于成人T2DM。尽管在过去的二十年中，我们对青少年型2型糖尿病的认识有了显著的提高，但相关的综述和基于证据的内容仍然有限。目的：了解儿童和青少年2型糖尿病研究的热点和趋势，并预测其未来的研究主题。方法：本研究使用“儿童”、“青少年”和“2型糖尿病”这三个术语，检索Web of Science核心合集（SCI、SSCI、ESCI）的三个引文数据库中1983 - 2023年间发表的相关文章。利用CiteSpace和VoSviewer软件，我们分析并可视化地呈现了年度文献产出、涉及的国家和参与机构。这使我们能够预测这一研究领域的趋势。我们的分析包括共被引作者、期刊叠加、被引叠加、时区视图、关键词分析、参考文献分析等。结果：共纳入论文9210篇，该领域的年出版量呈现稳定增长趋势。美国发表的论文数量最多，h指数最高。美国还拥有最多的研究机构和最强的研究能力。全球热点期刊以糖尿病专业期刊为主，但也包括营养学、内分泌学、代谢学等相关期刊。关键词分析显示，内皮功能障碍、暴露风险、心脏代谢风险、肠道菌群变化、对合并症和结局的影响等相关研究是新兴关键词。它们在这一领域一直很受欢迎，这表明近年来这些领域已经获得了重要的研究兴趣。结论：儿童和青少年2型糖尿病日益受到全球的关注，基因、行为、环境因素以及多系统干预措施可能成为未来的研究热点。
期刊介绍：
The WJD is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJD is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of diabetes. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJD is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJD are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in diabetes. Scope: Diabetes Complications, Experimental Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes, Gestational, Diabetic Angiopathies, Diabetic Cardiomyopathies, Diabetic Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetic Neuropathies, Donohue Syndrome, Fetal Macrosomia, and Prediabetic State.
