Current trends and hotspots in drug-resistant epilepsy research: Insights from a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drug-resistance is a significant clinical issue in persons with epilepsy. In the past few years, many studies have been published investigating the management of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE); however, no systematic and quantitative evaluation of this research has been performed. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to demonstrate the current status of DRE research and to reflect the trends and hotspots within the field.

Methods

We retrieved publications on DRE published between 2011 and 2021 from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection. All articles related to DRE were included in this study. VOSviewer, R software, and CiteSpace were used to perform bibliometric research.
