Abstract:

Objective

The objective of this study is to analyze the current status of clinical research in the field of metabolic and bariatric surgery in China.This analysis will include research hotspots and development trends.The study will also provide references for the future development of this discipline.

Methods

A predefined search strategy was employed to identify studies related to bariatric and metabolic surgery in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),the Web of Science Core Collection(WOSCC),and two major clinical trial registries (ChiCTR and ClinicalTrials.gov).The visualization analysis was conducted using CiteSpace 6.4.R1,and descriptive statistics were performed on the types and distribution of registered trials.

Results

The number of registered trials exhibited a marked upward trajectory,with a substantial surge since 2019.The analysis included a total of 521 Chinese articles and 1 657 English articles.The institution with the highest publication volume for Chinese articles was the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University,while for English articles,it was Shanghai Jiao Tong University.The authors with the most publications were Zhang Peng for Chinese articles and Lee Wei-Jei for English articles.The research hotspots for Chinese articles included obesity,bariatric surgery,and diabetes,while those for English articles were morbid obesity,insulin resistance,and obstructive sleep apnea.

Conclusions

Clinical research in bariatric and metabolic surgery in China has achieved significant progress in terms of the number of registered trials and published articles.However,there remains considerable room for improvement in the depth,innovation,and methodological rigor of research.In the future,it is essential to enhance the design and implementation of high-quality clinical studies to promote the sustained development of this field.
