Global Research Trends and Hotspots in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease-Related Cognitive Impairment: A Bibliometric Analysis (2001-2024).

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant contributor to cognitive impairment (CI). Research on CSVD-CI has gained prominence; however, comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the global research landscape in this area is currently lacking. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a thorough bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots and emerging trends.

Methods

We retrieved relevant literature published from 2001 to 2024 from the web of science (WoS) core collection. using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, R, and Origin 2022, we performed bibliometric and network visualization analyses to examine publication trends, geographical distribution, institutional collaborations, journal metrics, citation patterns, author contributions, co-citat
