Visual analysis of domestic and foreign studies on stroke high-risk populations
Objective To conduct a visual analysis of the current research status on high-risk popula-tions for stroke and explore research hotspots and future trends.Methods Literature related to high-risk pop-ulations for stroke was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and Web of Sci-ence core databases up to April 2023.CiteSpace6.2 software was utilized for knowledge map analysis based on article authors,institutions,country,and keywords.Results A total of 1 479 articles were included,compri-sing 1 169 in Chinese and 310 in English.In addition to topic-related keywords,the high-frequency keywords domestically were risk factors,screening,and hypertension,etc.Internationally,the high-frequency keywords were risk factors,cerebral infarction,and atrial fibrillation,etc.Conclusion The research field of high-risk populations for stroke has a high level of prior research interest.Future attention should be given to the devel-opment and utilization of tools for monitoring or predicting stroke risk factors,shifting research focus from population surveys to individual preventive healthcare management.
