Area Of Science
- Medical Informatics
- Neuroscience
- Critical Care Medicine
Background
- Delirium is a common acute neurocognitive disorder in elderly and critically ill patients.
- Light therapy is emerging as a non-pharmacologic intervention for delirium.
- Bibliometric analysis is used to assess research trends in this field.
Purpose Of The Study
- To systematically evaluate research progress and evolutionary trends in light therapy for delirium.
- To identify key research domains, influential institutions, and leading authors in the field.
- To provide insights into the current state and future directions of light therapy for delirium.
Main Methods
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection.
- Analysis of temporal trends, geographical distribution, and institutional contributions.
- Utilized VOSviewer, R-bibliometrix, and CiteSpace for data analysis, including keyword co-occurrence and thematic clustering.
Main Results
- A consistent increase in annual publications on light therapy for delirium was observed.
- The United States was the most prolific country, with Johns Hopkins University as the leading institution.
- Key research areas identified include sleep, intensive care units, mechanically ventilated patients, and critically ill patients.
Conclusions
- The application of light therapy for delirium is an evolving research area.
- Further research is needed to establish a robust scientific basis for clinical application.
- Future studies should explore specific populations, multifactorial interventions, and basic science research.
