摘要

Background

A considerable body of research has established a strong correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and bariatric surgery (BS). Despite this, there has been a lack of systematic analysis and visualization of related publications using bibliometric methods.

Methods

This research employs bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to explore the OSA-BS connection from January 1998 to June 2024. Following thorough screening, a total of 1,666 articles were included. Software tools like CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to examine the connections among countries, authors, journals, institutions, keywords, and citations.

Results

The analysis identified the USA leading in research output (732 articles, 43.9% of total) and citations (29,600). Prominent authors include Karmali, Shahzeer, Nico de Vries, and Birch, Daniel W, with Shahzeer contributing 20 articles and accumulating 479 citations. Interdisciplinary collaborations spanned anesthesia, respiratory medicine, and nutrition, with Obesity Surgery emerging as the most prolific journal (318 articles, IF = 2.9/Q1). Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed core themes: “bariatric surgery” (647 occurrences), “obesity” (477), and “obstructive sleep apnea” (222). Notably, sleep apnea (burst strength: 5.97) and airway management (#2 cluster) dominated recent research, highlighting critical challenges in airway management and respiratory support for individuals with obesity and OSA.

Conclusions

The bibliometric analysis highlights the global importance of research on the OSA-BS connection, particularly in anesthesia management and respiratory safety. The findings provide key insights for advancing the field and emphasize the need for further focus on optimizing surgical outcomes and patient safety.
