摘要

Background

Lipodystrophy presents clinical management challenges due to its varied expression and low incidence. Despite the clinical importance, there has been no systematic evaluation of the research output in terms of geographical distribution, institutional contributions, or emerging trends. This study aims to fill that gap by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the global research landscape on lipodystrophy.

Methods

Utilizing the Web of Science core collection, studies from 2010 to 2024 were analyzed. Bibliometric indicators were processed using VOSviewer to identify trends through graphical co-occurrence mapping.

Results

A total of 826 studies from 57 countries were included. The USA led with 259 publications (30.51%). The most productive institutions were the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases with 43 publications (14.98%). Among 166 journals, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism had the highest publications (43, 25.90%) and citations per publication (58). The most co-cited article was The Diagnosis and Management of Lipodystrophy Syndromes (2016), which was referenced 290 times.

Conclusion

This analysis highlights research trends and collaborative networks, areas for future investigation, and identifies the gaps and emerging trends that will inform future research directions.
