Abstract

Bibliometric Analysis of Published Articles on Acute Pancreatitis and Acute Lung Injury from 2004 to 2024 by Deren Du, Gubai Ma, Lianglan Li, Haibin Hao, Lele Wu, Baofu Zhou

Background: Recent evidence suggests a significant connection between acute pancreatitis and acute lung injury. This study employs bibliometric methods to visually analyze research papers on these topics from the last two decades, establishing a scientific basis for future research directions and key issues in the field.
Methods: The paper on acute pancreatitis and acute lung injury from 2004 to 2024 was sourced from the SCI-Expanded of Web of Science. Only English articles were analyzed, using VOSviewer and CiteSpace for data visualization.
Results: A total of 257 publications underwent analysis. Dalian Medical University was recognized as the top institution based on the number of publications, citation counts, and H-index scores. The most productive author identified was Chen HL, while the journal featuring the highest volume of publications was the World Journal of Gastroenterology. Key terms that appeared most frequently included "acute lung injury," "acute pancreatitis," "severe acute pancreatitis," and "inflammation".
Conclusions: The research highlights ARDS, mortality rates, mechanisms, Atlanta classification, organ failure, and protective measures as central themes in ongoing studies. These insights are crucial for upcoming research. Nonetheless, investigating the causes of lung injury due to acute pancreatitis remains in its preliminary stages and necessitates further exploration.
