Abstract

Objective This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of literature related to the diagnosis of chorioamnionitis (CAM) and to point out the current research progress, hotspots, and development trends of CAM research.

Study Design Literature on the diagnosis of CAM from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) between 2010 and 2022 was retrieved. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Online Analysis Platform (OALM) were used to draw maps of authors, articles, journals, institutions, countries/regions, and keywords.

Results A total of 312 articles were included, and the number of articles gradually increased over the study period. The author with the largest number of articles was Roberto Romero. The institution with the largest number of articles was Wayne State University School of Medicine, and the United States was the country that produced the largest number of articles. Analysis of keywords and outbreak words suggested that future research hotspots and trends may focus on early treatment of CAM and more precise, noninvasive, and more sensitive diagnoses.

Conclusion In this study, visualization software and data information mining were innovatively used to conduct a bibliometric analysis of articles in the field of CAM diagnosis, and the current status, hotspots, and development of this field were obtained. Future research hotspots may be the precision diagnosis and treatment of CAM.

Key Points

  • There is no bibliometric study on CAM diagnosis in the existing literature.

  • The prediction of CAM diagnosis is an important topic to improve maternal and infant prognosis.

  • Bibliometrics can effectively guide the direction of future research.

Keywords

chorioamnionitis - diagnosis - bibliometrics - hotspots - prognosis of newborn
