ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Crohn’s disease symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. While Crohn’s disease has no cure, there are techniques to control symptoms, including food and nutrition.
Research motivation
Assessing the current status of research and hotspots in nutrition and Crohn’s disease is critical for identifying knowledge gaps and informing future research paths.
Research objectives
Using bibliometric analysis, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the current state of nutrition and Crohn’s disease research.
Research methods
We conducted a thorough and rigorous analysis utilizing SciVerse Scopus to identify relevant material on nutrition and Crohn’s disease. Next, we used VOSviewer software to examine prevalent areas of study and publishing patterns in related domains.
Research results
Over the past 20 years, there has been a rise in cross-border partnerships and interdisciplinary studies concerning the relationship between nutrition and Crohn’s disease. Currently, the key areas of research in this field are the use of exclusive enteral nutrition for complicated cases of Crohn’s disease and the manipulation of the gastrointestinal microbiome.
Research conclusions
There has been no bibliometric analysis of nutrition and Crohn’s disease research in the last two decades. This study provides a complete assessment of the knowledge structure and developments in this topic. As such, the findings are a helpful resource for academics because they provide a detailed assessment and emphasize the frontiers of nutrition and Crohn’s disease research.
Research perspectives
The purpose of this research is to identify current trends and focus areas in the field of nutrition and Crohn’s disease to guide future research and treatment practice. Using bibliometric analysis, this study provides a comprehensive assessment of the relevant literature, assisting researchers and clinicians in staying up to date on the most recent advances in this field.
