Bibliometric and visual analysis of hippocampal sclerosis in epilepsy patients
Objective To visual analysis the current status,hotspots,and trends of hippocampal sclerosis in epilepsy patient using CiteSpace.Methods The literature related to hippocampal sclerosis in epilepsy in the databases of CNKI and Web of Science Core Collection from January 2019 to August 2023,including journals,countries,institutions,and keywords,and drawed visualization maps were analyzed by CiteSpace.Results A total of 95 Chinese literatures and 977 English literatures were included.The most widely published journals both domestically and internationally were Epilepsy Magazine and EPILPSIA.The most prolific authors both domestically and internationally were Xu Shangwen and Cendes Fernando.The most active institutions both domestically and internationally were the Department of Neurology,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and University College London.USA was the main force in this field.The hot keywords include hippocampal sclerosis,epilepsy,and temporal lobe epilepsy,which were clustered into hippocampus,temporal lobe epilepsy,hippocampal sclerosis,etc.Conclusion Related research is mainly focused on foreign countries,domestic institutions needed to improve.Studying the molecular biology of hippocampal sclerosis in epilepsy has became a research hotspot in recent years.
