Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder with significant implications for women's health. The role of inositol in the therapeutic management of PCOS has attracted considerable research attention. This bibliometric study offers a systematic quantification of research trends and scholarly communication in the field of inositol treatment for PCOS.
Results: A robust analysis of the Web of Science core collection identified 474 influential publications spanning from 1998 to 2024. Italy demonstrated leadership, with a prolific publication record and citation impact, followed by the United States and China, indicating a global emphasis on PCOS research. The journal "Gynecological Endocrinology" was prominent, with the highest publication volume and citation rate, reflecting its authoritative status in the field. Bibliometric tools revealed a collaborative research network with key institutions such as University Modena and Reggio Emilia and Sapienza University of Rome exhibiting high productivity. The keyword cooccurrence analysis illuminated the thematic evolution, with 'inositol' and 'PCOS' as central hubs, encapsulating the breadth of research and the convergence of interdisciplinary approaches.
Conclusion: The study's findings evidence a dynamic and interdisciplinary research trajectory in the inositol treatment for PCOS. It anticipates an accentuated focus on precision medicine and personalized therapeutics, underpinned by technological advancements and international synergy. This bibliometric synthesis provides a foundational framework for future research endeavors and underscores the imperative for continued innovation in PCOS management.
