Summary
This bibliometric analysis of post-stroke depression (PSD) reveals a growing research trend, with China leading publications. Addressing PSD is crucial for stroke patient recovery and quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Psychiatry
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Stroke significantly impacts patients, with depression being a common and debilitating post-stroke complication.
- Post-stroke depression (PSD) negatively affects recovery and quality of life, highlighting the need for research.
- Understanding the global research landscape of PSD is essential for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of global research on post-stroke depression (PSD).
- To identify trends in publications, leading countries, keywords, and journals related to PSD from 1900 to 2024.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC).
- Keywords used: "stroke" and "depression."
- Data analyzed using VOSviewer, focusing on countries, publication counts, keywords, and journals.
Main Results:
- A total of 2,289 publications on PSD were identified between 1900 and 2024.
- A consistent increase in PSD research publications over time was observed.
- China led in publications and funding, followed by the United States. Key terms included "stroke," "depression," and "poststroke depression." The Journal of Stroke published the most on this topic.
Conclusions:
- The study maps the evolving research trends in post-stroke depression (PSD).
- PSD is a critical factor impacting stroke patient outcomes, warranting increased attention and support.
- Continued research, particularly from leading nations like China and the US, is vital for developing improved PSD treatments.
