Objective: To explore the research status and hotspots in the field of endophthalmitis based on bibliometrics. Methods: A bibliometric study was conducted. In May 2024, the Web of Science Core Collection database was searched for relevant English-language literature on endophthalmitis published from 2014 to 2023. Endnote X9 was used to manage and check the included literature; Excel software was employed for data management and statistics, and graphs were created for frequency data. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software systems were utilized to construct visual maps of literature authors, institutions, countries, journals, and keywords and conduct analyses. Results: A total of 1 466 articles were finally included. The number of literature in the field of endophthalmitis showed a fluctuating trend in the past decade. The journal with the most published articles was Retina. Among the top 10 authors with the highest number of publications, 5 were from the LV Prasad Eye Institute in India, and 2 were from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in the United States. The top 10 institutions with the largest number of literature were the LV Prasad Eye Institute in India, the University of Miami in the United States, Wayne State University in the United States, Aravind Eye Hospital in India, the University of Oklahoma in the United States, Fudan University in China, Manipal International University in Malaysia, Thomas Jefferson University in the United States, Duke University in the United States, and Sun Yat-sen University in China. The United States, India, and China were countries with relatively high productivity in publishing articles on endophthalmitis. Research related to endophthalmitis was dominated by the United States, and the intensity of its international exchanges and cooperation was significantly higher than that of Asian countries, suggesting that other countries, including China, need to strengthen international exchanges. The results of keyword and burst term studies showed that current research on endophthalmitis mainly focused on etiological investigations, risk management, prevention, control, treatment, and prognosis evaluation. Conclusions: In the past decade, the number of literature in the field of endophthalmitis showed a fluctuating trend. Etiological investigations, incidence rates, and classification management of endophthalmitis were hot research areas, and research reports on prevention, control, diagnosis, treatment, and complex cases were the focus of current and future research.
目的： 基于文献计量学探讨眼内炎领域的研究现状及热点。 方法： 文献计量学研究。于2024年5月检索Web of Science核心数据库2014至2023年发表的眼内炎领域的英文相关文献。采用Endnote X9对纳入文献进行管理核对；运用Excel软件进行数据管理统计，并对频次数据制作图形。利用CiteSpace和VOSviewer软件系统构建文献作者、机构、国家、期刊及关键词的可视化图谱并进行分析。 结果： 最终纳入文献1 466篇。近10年眼内炎领域的文献数量呈现波动趋势。发表文献最多的期刊为Retina，发文前10作者有5位来自印度LV Prasad眼科研究所，2位来自美国Bascom Palmer眼科研究所。文献数量前 10 位的机构分别为印度 LV Prasad 眼科研究所、美国迈阿密大学、美国韦恩州立大学、印度亚拉文眼科医院、美国俄克拉荷马大学、中国复旦大学、马来西亚马尼帕尔国际大学、美国托马斯杰斐逊大学、美国杜克大学、中国中山大学。美国、印度和中国是眼内炎发文生产力较高的国家。眼内炎相关研究以美国为主导，其国际交流合作的强度明显高于亚洲国家，提示包括我国在内的其余国家需在该领域加强国际交流。关键词及突现词研究结果显示，当前眼内炎的研究主要集中于病因学调查、风险管理、防控治疗及预后评估。 结论： 近10年来眼内炎领域文献数量呈波动趋势，眼内炎的病因学调查、发病率及分类管理为热点研究领域，防控诊疗、复杂病例的研究报道是目前及未来研究的重点。.
