Objective:
The aim of this study was to conduct a bibliometric and visualization analysis of research on cochlear implantation (CI) for inner ear malformations (IEMs) from 1986 to 2024.
Methods:
A comprehensive literature search was performed using the Web of Science Core Collection Database, resulting in the identification of 431 relevant publications. Various data analysis and visualization tools, including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix, were utilized to analyze annual publication outputs, countries/regions and institutions, authors, journals and studies, keywords, and theme evolution.
Results:
The study revealed an overall increasing trend in research output on CI for IEMs, with significant contributions from countries such as the United States, China, Turkey, Germany, and Italy. The analysis also identified key authors, research teams, journals, and studies that have made substantial contributions to the field. Furthermore, the study highlighted important research hotspots and trends, such as the classification of IEMs, outcomes of CI for IEMs, and the management of pediatric patients with IEMs.
Conclusion:
The findings of this study provide a comprehensive overview of the research landscape surrounding CI for IEMs. The results serve as a basis for future research topic selection and emphasize the need for enhanced international collaboration and the publication of high-impact research to further advance this field.
