摘要

Background

Respiratory allergies in children, including asthma and allergic rhinitis, pose a significant global health burden. Despite advancements in clinical management, emerging topics such as immune modulation and environmental triggers remain underexplored. This study employs bibliometric analysis to map global research trends (2010.1.1–2025.1.1) and identify emerging frontiers in this field.

Methods

This study employed bibliometric methods to analyze 834 publications related to pediatric respiratory allergies from 2010.1.1 to 2025.1.1, based on data retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. Analytical tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the bibliometrix R package were utilized to identify key research directions and emerging frontiers in this field.

Results

Global publication volume continues to grow, with the USA., China, and Italy ranking as the top three contributing countries. Institutions such as Vanderbilt University and Harvard University dominate research output. Keyword clustering has identified seven major directions, with the top three being: (1) clinical treatment (Cluster 1, n = 82 articles); (2) environmental-microbial interactions (Cluster 2, n = 69 articles); (3) combined drug therapy (Cluster 3, n = 60 articles). The mutation terms highlight the strongest emerging hotspots: (1) prevalence (5.58, 2022–2025); (2) innate lymphoid cells (5.28, 2021–2023); (3) risk (4.56, 2019–2023). The study further identifies three major translational bottlenecks: the disconnect between basic research and clinical practice, the research gap between high-income and low-to-middle-income countries, and insufficient integration of environmental medicine and immunology.

Conclusion

Future efforts should focus on interdisciplinary collaboration, optimization of personalized treatment plans, and equitable allocation of medical resources in developing countries to advance precision medicine. This study provides systematic evidence-based support for the prevention and control strategies and clinical translation of pediatric respiratory allergies.
