Visualization Analysis of Literature in the Field of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in China
Objective To explore the development status,research hotspots and dynamic frontiers of the field in the past 20 years through visual analysis of relevant literature on comprehensive assessment of the elderly in China,so as to provide reference for subsequent related research.Methods The literature in the field of comprehensive geriatric assessment collected by China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)from 2003 to 2023 was taken as the research object,and CiteSpace software was used for visual analysis.Results A total of 735 literatures were retrieved,and the last 668 literatures were included in the study.The institution with the highest number of literatures was the Department of Geriatrics of the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology.The authors and inter-agency cooperation were less.The most frequent keywords were the elderly,followed by quality of life and comprehensive assessment.The research clusters in the field of comprehensive geriatric assessment were divided into 9 categories,followed by quality of life,elderly patients,elderly people,risk factors,elderly people,frailty,nursing intervention,geriatrics,and falls.The research hotspots in 2010-2016 were the clinical significance of chronic diseases,coronary heart disease and comprehensive assessment of the elderly.Since 2020,frailty,lung function,diabetes,and cerebral infarction hadbecome new research hotspots in the field of geriatric assessment.Conclusion In the future,researchers in the field of comprehensive geriatric assessment need to strengthen cooperation and formulate normative standards in this field,so as to provide reference for improving the comprehensive geriatric assessment system.
