Unveiling the Knowledge Frontier: A Scientometric Analysis of COPD with Sarcopenia
1Department of General Practice, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, WuHan, Hubei, People's Republic of China.
Summary
This scientometric analysis maps research on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and sarcopenia. Key findings highlight the US as a leading contributor and identify nutrition and physical activity as crucial for managing these interconnected conditions.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Geriatrics
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and sarcopenia frequently co-occur, presenting complex clinical challenges.
- Despite numerous articles, a scientometric analysis of research at their intersection is lacking.
- Understanding research trends is crucial for advancing the management of these conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scientometric analysis of research on COPD with sarcopenia.
- To identify key contributors, institutions, and publications in this field.
- To elucidate emerging research areas and knowledge structures.
Main Methods:
- Systematic retrieval of 758 articles and reviews from Web of Science Core Collections (2003-2022).
- Application of scientometric and keyword analyses using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Origin software.
- Analysis of publication output, influential scholars, and research hotspots.
Main Results:
- The United States leads in publications and influence; Maastricht University and Schols Annemie M. W. J. are prominent.
- The International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is the most prolific journal.
- Frequent comorbidities, mechanistic/diagnostic aspects (e.g., CT scans), osteoporosis, nutrition, and physical activity are key research areas.
Conclusions:
- This study maps the research landscape, knowledge structure, and evolution of topics related to COPD and sarcopenia.
- Identifying research hotspots enhances understanding of the field's development and future trends.
- Comprehensive management strategies incorporating nutrition and physical activity are essential.

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...
