Insights
Research on allergic rhinitis (AR) in children is growing. Bibliometric analysis reveals key research areas including pathogenesis, comorbidity, epidemiology, symptoms, and therapy, with immunotherapy and severity as emerging trends.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Immunology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Allergic Rhinitis (AR) in children is a growing public health concern.
- Limited bibliometric studies exist on pediatric AR research trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore research hotspots and emerging trends in pediatric Allergic Rhinitis.
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications on AR in children.
Main Methods:
- Searched Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection for relevant publications up to December 31, 2021.
- Utilized CiteSpace and Microsoft Excel for visualized bibliometric analysis.
- Included 649 articles in the final analysis.
Main Results:
- A steady increase in pediatric AR publications over the past 20 years.
- China and the USA lead in research output; Giorgio Ciprandi is the most prolific author.
- Key research areas identified include pathogenesis, comorbidity, epidemiology, symptoms, and therapy of AR in children.
Conclusions:
- Pediatric AR research has shown gradual improvement over two decades.
- Pathogenesis, comorbidity, epidemiology, symptoms, and therapy are current research hotspots.
- Immunotherapy and disease severity are identified as probable future research directions.
Background:
In recent years, Allergic Rhinitis (AR) in children has caused widespread public concern. However, there are few studies concerning the overall trends in AR research in children based on bibliometric analysis.
Objective:
This study aims to explore hotspots and emerging trends in AR in children.
Methods:
The relevant publications were searched for in the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection on December 31, 2021. The searched studies were exported to CiteSpace and Microsoft Excel for further visualized analysis.
Results:
In total, 649 articles were included. The number of publications related to AR in children has increased steadily in the last 20 years. Giorgio Ciprandi from Italy has the most articles and the leading countries were China and the USA. Guangzhou Medical University in China and Hallym University in Korea were the institutions with the most articles. The high-frequency keywords included AR, asthma, children, prevalence, and symptoms. Pathogenesis, comorbidity, epidemiology, symptoms, and therapy of AR in children are research hotspots.
Conclusion:
Over the past 20 years, research on AR in children has gradually improved. Visualization analysis indicates that pathogenesis, comorbidity, epidemiology, symptoms, and therapy are research hotspots, and immunotherapy and severity are probably the main research directions.

Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
