Summary
This bibliometric analysis of pediatric asthma research over the past decade shows active global study, with China leading in publication volume but needing to improve research quality and international impact for better pediatric asthma treatment outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric respiratory medicine
- Inflammatory airway diseases
- Child health research
Background:
- Pediatric asthma is a prevalent chronic inflammatory airway disease in children.
- Effective management and treatment strategies are crucial for improving child health outcomes.
- Understanding global research trends is vital for advancing the field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on pediatric asthma and its treatment over the past decade (2014-2025).
- To identify research hotspots, trends, and geographical contributions.
- To provide insights for future research directions in pediatric asthma.
Main Methods:
- Data sourced from the Web of Science database for literature published between January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2025.
- Bibliometric analysis encompassing publication volume, country, institution, journal, author, and keyword contributions.
- Quantitative and qualitative assessment of research output and influence.
Main Results:
- A total of 640 documents were analyzed, involving 68 countries and 1208 institutions.
- Global research output averaged 56.8 articles annually, indicating significant research activity.
- China leads in publication volume but lags in research quality and international influence compared to Western nations.
Conclusions:
- Global research on pediatric asthma has progressed substantially over the last decade.
- China's research output is high, but enhancing quality and impact is necessary for advancing pediatric asthma care.
- Future research should focus on improving the quality and international visibility of studies, particularly in pediatric asthma treatment.

Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

01:28Asthma I: Introduction
99
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by variable airflow obstruction and heightened bronchial responsiveness to a wide range of triggers. The underlying inflammation leads to airway swelling, mucus hypersecretion, and smooth muscle constriction, all of which narrow the airway lumen and impede airflow. Clinically, asthma presents with recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, symptoms that typically vary in intensity and...

01:13Asthma III: Clinical Manifestations
39
Asthma presents with a characteristic pattern of episodic respiratory symptoms that reflect underlying airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus hypersecretion. Although severity varies among individuals, certain clinical manifestations are considered hallmarks of the disorder and often guide diagnosis and assessment.Respiratory SymptomsA persistent cough is one of the most common early features of asthma. It is frequently dry and tends to worsen at night or in the early morning,...
