Abstract:
Objective:To summarize and visualize the status quo,future hotspots and development trend of ED-related resear-ches in China through bibliometric analysis.Methods:We searched the Web of Science Core Collection(WOSCC)and the database of Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)for ED-related studies published in China from January 1,2010 to August 14,2023.Using the CiteSpace and VOSviewer softwares,we bibliometrically analyzed and visualized the related journals,regions,institu-tions,authors,key words,co-citations and other indexes of the identified studies.Results:A total of 2,465 ED-related studies were retrieved,with an increasing number of publications year by year,relatively more in the southeast region,with Sun Yat-sen University ranking the first in the number of published articles(n=169),LIU Jihong(n=73),WANG Tao(n=71)and JIANG Rui(n=49)as the top three prolific core authors.The first two Chinese journals with the most ED-related publications were Chinese Journal of Andrology(n=320)and Journal of Sexual Medicine(n=128),and the latter was also the mostly cited(n=5 060).Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that the highest-frequency Chinese terms included impotence,anxiety,andrology,expert consensus,ex-perience of famous doctors,acupuncture,Earthworm protein(Chinese)and hypertension,and the English terms included erectile dys-function,apoptosis,inflammation,fibrosis,risk and women.Conclusion:Recent years have wit-nessed a rapid development in ED-related studies in China,with the risk factors and patho-genic mechanisms of ED as hot topics.PDE5 inhibitors and adipose-derived stem cells for the treatment of ED have attracted long and continuous attention and will remain an important target of future research.
