摘要

Background

The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is steadily increasing, and Aducanumab has garnered significant attention as a treatment since 2021. There is a growing body of research on Aducanumab and its relationship with Alzheimer's disease; however, there is currently a lack of bibliometric analysis regarding the use of Aducanumab in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Objective

This study employs bibliometric methods to analyze the current research landscape and hotspots surrounding Alzheimer's disease and Aducanumab, providing a reference for subsequent investigations in this field and the promotion of Aducanumab as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

Methods

This study retrieved articles related to Alzheimer's disease and Aducanumab from the WOS core database, covering the period from the establishment of the database until Dec 31, 2024. After a rigorous selection process, analyses were conducted using GraphPad Prism 10, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace to obtain insights into publication and citation metrics, collaboration networks among countries, institutions, and authors, as well as clustering analysis of reference papers and keywords.

Results

The number of articles regarding Aducanumab treatment for Alzheimer's disease has been increasing annually, with a notable surge occurring after 2021. The three countries with the highest publication output are the United States, the United Kingdom, and China. The leading institutions in terms of publication volume are Biogen, Harvard Medical School, and the University of California, San Francisco. The top three authors contributing to this body of work are Poul F. Høilund-Carlsen, Abass Alavi, and Mona-Elisabeth Revheim. The journals with the highest publication rates include Alzheimer's & Dementia, the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. The most cited article is "Lecanemab in Early Alzheimer's Disease," authored by van Dyck CH et al., published in 2023 in the New England Journal of Medicine. The ten most frequently occurring keywords are Alzheimer's disease, Aducanumab, dementia, amyloid-beta, immunotherapy, tau, a-beta, mouse model, amyloid, and mild cognitive impairment. The keyword and cluster "pharmacokinetics" currently represent a research hotspot in this field.

Conclusion

This study employs bibliometric methods to reveal the publication trends related to Aducanumab in the context of Alzheimer’s disease, examining collaborations among countries, regions, and authors, as well as recent research hotspots. It provides objective data that serves as a reference for scientific research and clinical practice concerning Aducanumab treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
