Abstract

Objective: Pediatric bronchial asthma, a prevalent chronic inflammatory respiratory disease, significantly affects children globally. However, bibliometric analyses focused on its inflammatory and immunological aspects are limited. This study aims to provide an overview of the field, identify key focus areas, and predict emerging trends.

Methods: We collected and analyzed relevant literature published from January 1, 2000, to May 31, 2024, from the Web of Science Core Collection. Collaborative network analysis was conducted using CiteSpace 5.8.R3, VOSviewer 1.6.20, and Bibliometrix.

Results: A total of 911 papers were retrieved, showing growth in research output since 2006, with the United States leading in publications. The University of Western Australia ranks first in publication count, while the University of Wisconsin-Madison has the highest average citations per paper. Among 5,059 authors, 146 core authors contributed to 592 articles, accounting for 64.98% of total publications, with Anne M. Fitzpatrick as the leading author. The journal "Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Reviews" is the most influential, and "asthma" is the most cited keyword. Co-citation analysis reveals 20 keyword clusters, with hotspots including "efficacy" and "allergic rhinitis." The most cited paper is by D. P. Strachan in the "British Medical Journal."

Conclusion: This study reveals a significant increase in pediatric asthma research from 2000 to 2024, with the U.S. leading in scholarly contributions. Key findings highlight allergic airway inflammation and type 2 inflammation as primary mechanisms underlying the disease. Inhaled corticosteroids and biologics are identified as effective treatments. These insights emphasize the importance of global collaboration and ongoing research efforts to advance understanding of pathogenic mechanisms and clinical management in pediatric asthma patients.

儿童哮喘炎症和免疫学研究的文献计量学观点。
目的:儿童支气管哮喘是一种常见的慢性炎症性呼吸道疾病,严重影响全球儿童。然而,文献计量学分析集中在其炎症和免疫方面是有限的。本研究旨在提供该领域的概述,确定关键焦点领域,并预测新兴趋势。方法:收集并分析Web of Science Core Collection中2000年1月1日至2024年5月31日发表的相关文献。使用CiteSpace 5.8进行协同网络分析。R3, VOSviewer 1.6.20,和Bibliometrix。结果:共检索论文911篇,显示自2006年以来研究产出有所增长,美国在发表论文方面处于领先地位。西澳大利亚大学的论文发表量排名第一,而威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的论文平均引用量最高。在5059位作者中,146位核心作者贡献了592篇文章,占总发表量的64.98%,其中Anne M. Fitzpatrick为第一作者。《过敏、哮喘与免疫学评论》(Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Reviews)杂志的影响力最大,“哮喘”是被引用最多的关键词。共引分析显示了20个关键词集群,热点包括“疗效”和“过敏性鼻炎”。被引用最多的论文是dr . P. Strachan在《英国医学杂志》上发表的。结论:本研究显示,从2000年到2024年,儿童哮喘研究显著增加,美国在学术贡献方面处于领先地位。关键发现强调过敏性气道炎症和2型炎症是该疾病的主要机制。吸入皮质类固醇和生物制剂被认为是有效的治疗方法。这些见解强调了全球合作和正在进行的研究工作的重要性,以促进对儿童哮喘患者致病机制和临床管理的理解。
