Abstract
Objective: Pediatric asthma is a common chronic inflammatory airway disease in children. This paper analyzes research literature on pediatric asthma and its treatment over the past decade using bibliometric methods, discussing research hotspots and trends to guide future studies.
Method: The Web of Science database was selected as the data source, with the retrieval period from January 1, 2014, to January 1, 2025. This study collected and analyzed literature on pediatric asthma and its treatment from the past decade, covering aspects such as publication volume, countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords.
Results: The search yielded 640 documents involving 68 countries and 1208 institutions, authored by 3506 researchers and published across 259 journals. The global annual average publication volume of 56.8 articles indicates active research in this field. China ranks second globally in publication volume, yet there is a gap in research quality and international influence compared to Western countries. Pediatric asthma treatment remains a core challenge in the pediatric and respiratory fields, making it a central research focus for the future.
Conclusion: Asthma has become a major health issue among children. Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made globally in the research of pediatric asthma and its treatment. Despite surpassing many developed countries in publication volume, China needs to enhance the quality and impact of its research. There is a hope that China will increase investment in scientific research and publish more high-quality articles in both domestic and international prestigious journals, advancing the country's development in this field.
期刊介绍：
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
