Knowledge domain and emerging trends in post-stroke cognitive impairment: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairment is an important cause of disability and death among the elderly. One of the most important risk factors is stroke. Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) not only diminishes the quality of life for patients but also increases the burden on families and society. But PSCI can be mitigated through early intervention. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the significant causes of stroke and has garnered considerable attention in PSCI. Therefore, this study aims to identify research priorities and trends in PSCI through bibliometric analysis, and further explore the role played by CSVD in PSCI.

Methods

In this study, we performed a systematic search in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS
