Objective To analyze the current status,hotspots and difficulties of research on colo-rectal serrated polyps using CiteSpace software.Methods Chinese literature was searched in the Chi-na National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database from its inception to March 6,2023.English literature was searched in the Medline database from its inception to March 21,2023.CiteSpace soft-ware was used to create visual maps and conduct visual analysis of publication volume,institutions and keywords.Results A total of 198 Chinese articles were included in this study,with Beijing Military General Hospital publishing the most articles."Pathology"appeared with the highest frequency,and clinic and endoscopic characteristics had been research hotspots in recent years.This study included 1257 English articles.The keyword"colorectal cancer"appeared with the highest frequency,adenoma detection,colon cancer screening,computer-aided detection,adenoma missed diagnosis rate and arti-ficial intelligence had been research hotspots in recent years.Conclusion The research interest in colorectal serrated polyps is gradually increasing both domestically and internationally,with research hotspots focusing on adenoma detection,colon cancer screening,computer-aided detection,adenoma missed diagnosis rate,and artificial intelligence.
