View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This bibliometric study analyzed acute kidney injury (AKI) and immune research over 20 years. Key trends include inflammation, COVID-19, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, highlighting evolving research hotspots.
Area Of Science
- Immunology and Nephrology
- Bibliometrics and Scientometrics
Background
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical clinical problem with complex immune system involvement.
- Understanding the research landscape of AKI and its immune-related aspects is crucial for advancing the field.
Purpose Of The Study
- To conduct a comprehensive bibliometric and visual analysis of AKI and immune-related research over the past two decades.
- To identify emerging trends, key research areas, and influential publications in this interdisciplinary field.
Main Methods
- Utilized the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database for data extraction.
- Analyzed publication volume, authorship, geographic distribution, institutional contributions, journal sources, keywords, and citations.
- Employed VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Excel 365 for data visualization and interpretation.
Main Results
- Identified 3,537 articles on AKI and immunisation from 94 countries and 3,552 institutions.
- The United States led in publications, with Harvard University as a leading institution.
- Key research foci included COVID-19, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and inflammation, with "inflammation," "sepsis," and "COVID-19" as prevalent keywords.
Conclusions
- This is the first bibliometric analysis of AKI and immune research, providing a comprehensive overview.
- The study highlights key research hotspots and evolving trends in the field of AKI and immunology.
