A bibliometric and visualized analysis of choriocapillaris from 2013 to 2023OA

AIM:To assess the current research status and emerging trends of the choriocapillaris(CC)by bibliometric analysis.METHODS:Publications spanning from January 2013 to May 2023 were retrieved on June 27th,2023,using the Web of Science Core Collection.Bibliometric and visualized analyses were performed employing the bibliometrix,CiteSpace and VOSviewer.RESULTS:A total of 1563 papers met the inclusion criteria,and a publication growth trend was observed.The United States was the leading country in the CC field.Retina and Investigative Ophthalmology&Visual Science stood out as highly impactful and prolific journals.Research topics in the CC field encompassed choroidal neovascularization,choroidal thickness,central serous chorioretinopathy,agerelated macular degeneration,myopia,choroidal vascularity index,and diabetic retinopathy,based on the co-citation analysis.The keyword“high myopia”experienced a burst lasting until 2023.CONCLUSION:In the past decade,research in the field of CC has flourished due to recent advancements in choroidal imaging;with focus shifting towards elucidating its role in various diseases.This will provide novel insights into managing chorioretinal diseases and vision-preserving interventions.
