Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading global cause of mortality.
- Pulmonary rehabilitation, including exercise and education, aims to enhance patient self-management and well-being.
- Interventions focus on improving physical and psychological conditions in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on exercise and COPD.
- To examine studies published between 2000 and 2021.
- To identify key trends, influential works, and research hotspots in the field.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis utilizing VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.
- Data sourced from the Web of Science core collection.
- Analysis of publication output by country, institution, author, and journal, alongside keyword and citation burst analysis.
Main Results:
- A total of 1889 articles were identified.
- The United States led in publications, with Queen's University as the most prolific institution.
- The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine was the most influential journal; Denis E. O'Donnell was a significant contributor.
- Research hotspots included 'association,' 'impact,' and 'statement.'

COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

2.8K
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...
