Visual Analysis of Stroke Complicated with Venous Thromboembolism Research Based on Web of Science Database

Abstract

Background: The incidence of venous thromboembolism within 2 weeks after stroke could be as high as 30%-80%, which seriously affected the health of patients. So far, the research on Stroke Complicated with Venous Thromboembolism (SCVT) has a history of several decades. In the era of big data, a large number of studies are published every year. It is a challenge to understand the important research in this field comprehensively and intuitively by manual reading. Objective: The purpose of this study was to use a bibliometric approach to analyze the current research status, hotspots, and trends of SCVT, in order to help researchers comprehensively and intuitively understand this research field and further promote its development. Design: A visual analysis was conducted. Methods: Citespace (6.1.6) knowledge map software was used to visualize and analyze the related literatures of SCVT from January 1, 2012 to February 23, 2023 in web of science core collection database. Results: A total of 14383 articles were included. In recent years, the number of articles published in the field of SCVT has generally shown an upward trend. The United States and Portugal were the countries with the highest publication and centrality. University Birmingham, Harvard Med Sch and Harvard University ranked the highest in terms of publication, centrality and burst. Lip, Gregory Y H, Lip, Gregory Y H, Kleinschnitz were the authors with the highest publication, centrality and burst respectively. Important keywords included atrial fibrillation, stroke, risk, diagnosis, apixaban, expert consensus, etc. There were 10 keyword clusters and 25 burst Conclusion: In recent years, the study of SCVT has been widely concerned by the society. The research topics mainly focused on the efficacy and risk control of novel oral anticoagulants in the treatment of SCVT, the relationship between atrial fibrillation and SCVT, the impact of COVID-19 on SCVT, relationship between SCVT and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), and Cellular mechanism of SCVT. The frontiers of research included stroke prediction, novel oral anticoagulants, treatment modalities, mechanical thrombectomy, risk factors, and guidelines.
