This bibliometric analysis reveals a growing research interest in the connection between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depression. Key global research trends and collaborations are identified, highlighting emerging areas like gut microbiota and epidemiology.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Psychiatry
- Bibliometrics and Scientometrics
- Public Health Research
Background:
- Growing recognition of the comorbidity between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and depression.
- Need for a comprehensive overview of research trends and key players in this interdisciplinary field.
- Identifying research hotspots and collaboration patterns is crucial for future studies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of published research on the relationship between IBD and depression.
- To identify leading researchers, institutions, and countries contributing to this field.
- To pinpoint current research hotspots and emerging trends in IBD and depression studies.
Main Methods:
- Literature search conducted on the Web of Science Core Database (Science Citation Index Expanded).
- Bibliometric analysis performed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, bibliometrix, and Microsoft Excel 2019.
- Inclusion of 393 publications from January 1, 2014, to December 25, 2023.
Main Results:
- A consistent upward trend in publications related to IBD and depression from 2014-2023.
- The United States leads in publications, with 48 countries and 743 institutions actively involved.
- Significant author collaborations were observed, with research expanding into epidemiology and gut microbiota.
Conclusions:
- This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive summary of research trends and developments in IBD and depression.
- Identifies key research frontiers and hot directions for researchers in the field.
- Serves as a valuable reference for future research endeavors and strategic planning.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
