Abstract
Background and objectives: Nutrition is important in promoting health and preventing disease, while malnutrition can exacerbate disease symptoms and lead to adverse clinical outcomes in patients. The process of nutritional diagnosis and treatment includes nutritional risk screening, nutritional assessment, and nutritional therapy. This study aims to understand the number of publications, cooperation of research subjects, progress of research content, and research hotspots of nutritional risk screening and assessment, and then identify the future trends and directions of global nutritional screening.
Methods and study design: Articles on nutritional risk screening, nutritional assessment and application of nutritional diagnostic tools were identified from the Web of Science and the collected data were analysed using bibliometrics and information visualisa-tion with the help of CiteSpace software. A total of 10632 articles published between 1991 and 2024 were selected.
Results: The country with the highest number of articles was the United States; two institutions, the University of São Paulo and the Karolinska Institutet, had higher centrality and number of articles. Keyword emergent analysis revealed that global leadership initiatives on malnutrition, diagnosis, criteria, myasthenia gravis, and clinical nutrition were the five emergent terms that lasted until 2024 and were the most popular hot topics among experts and scholars.
Conclusions: We describe the characteristics of the development of nutritional risk screening and assessment studies and their trends. Currently, there is not a close collaboration between institutions and authors in the research process, while the field is trending towards more specific research and a greater focus on the disease progression in patients.
背景和目的：营养在促进健康和预防疾病方面很重要，而营养不良可加重疾病症状并导致患者不良的临床结果。营养诊断和治疗的过程包括营养风险筛查、营养评估和营养治疗。本研究旨在了解营养风险筛查与评估的发表数量、研究课题合作情况、研究内容进展情况以及研究热点，进而确定全球营养风险筛查的未来趋势和方向。方法和研究设计：从Web of Science网站上检索有关营养风险筛查、营养评估和营养诊断工具应用的文章，并利用CiteSpace软件对收集到的数据进行文献计量学和信息可视化分析。1991年至2024年间发表的10632篇文章被选中。结果：文章数量最多的国家是美国；两所大学，圣保罗大学和卡罗林斯卡学院的文章数量和中心度都更高。关键词涌现分析显示，营养不良、诊断、标准、重症肌无力、临床营养等五个新兴术语持续到2024年，是专家学者最关注的热点。结论：我们描述了营养风险筛查和评估研究的发展特点及其趋势。目前，在研究过程中，机构和作者之间没有密切的合作，而该领域正趋向于更具体的研究，更关注患者的疾病进展。
期刊介绍：
The aims of the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(APJCN) are to publish high quality clinical nutrition relevant research findings which can build the capacity of
clinical nutritionists in the region and enhance the practice of human nutrition and related disciplines for health
promotion and disease prevention. APJCN will publish
original research reports, reviews, short communications
and case reports. News, book reviews and other items will
also be included. The acceptance criteria for all papers are
the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated,
manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous
reviewers and the Editor. The Editorial Board reserves the
right to refuse any material for publication and advises
that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts
and correspondence as material cannot be returned. Final
