Abstract

Background: Radiotherapy is one of the main therapeutic methods for tumors, and radiation- related cognitive impairment has attracted increasing attention. The purpose of this study was to explore the research prospects in the field of radiotherapy-associated cognitive decline through bibliometric analysis.

Methods: Literature on radiotherapy-related cognitive impairment published during 2004-2023 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database. VOSviewer and R-bibliometrix were utilized to perform bibliometric analysis.

Results: A total of 8,365 publications were retrieved from the database. The United States emerged as the leading country in this research field, with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital identified as the most productive institution. Thomas E. Merchant was the most prolific author in this field, while Charles L. Limoli was the most frequently cited scholar. The research hotspots have gradually shifted from cognitive function and outcome measurement to the development of new therapy models.

Conclusion: This study comprehensively examined the research hotspots and knowledge atlas of radiotherapy- related cognitive decline from a bibliometric perspective. Our results would assist scholars in identifying potential collaborators and significant literature in this field while also providing valuable guidance for future research directions.

放射治疗相关认知损伤的研究趋势和知识图谱：文献计量学分析。

背景：放射治疗是肿瘤的主要治疗方法之一，放射相关的认知功能障碍越来越受到人们的关注。本研究的目的是通过文献计量学分析，探讨放射治疗相关认知衰退领域的研究前景。方法：从Web of Science Core Collection数据库中提取2004-2023年间发表的与放疗相关的认知障碍的文献。使用VOSviewer和R-bibliometrix进行文献计量学分析。结果：共检索到8365篇文献。美国成为这一研究领域的领先国家，圣裘德儿童研究医院被认为是最具生产力的机构。Thomas E. Merchant是这一领域最多产的作者，而Charles L. Limoli是被引用次数最多的学者。研究热点逐渐从认知功能和结果测量转向开发新的治疗模式。结论：本研究从文献计量学的角度全面梳理了放疗相关认知衰退的研究热点和知识图谱。我们的研究结果将有助于学者识别该领域的潜在合作者和重要文献，同时也为未来的研究方向提供有价值的指导。
