Global research trends and hotspots in bronchiectasis: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bronchiectasis is characterized by chronic cough and bronchial dilation. It has evolved from an orphan disease to a common condition, with a long history of research. This study employed bibliometric and visualization analyses to comprehensively examine the research dynamics, hotspots, and development trends in bronchiectasis research.

Methods

Articles on bronchiectasis published between 2005 and 2024 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The co-occurrence and clustering of keywords, co-citations of literature, and cooperation relationships among countries and institutions were analyzed and visualized via R-Bibliometric and VOSviewer.

Results

A total of 127 countries/regions participated in the research on bronchiectasis, with 6,33
