Bibliometric analysis reveals insulin resistance and obesity trends in polycystic ovary syndrome research, indicating growing relevance.
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormone-linked infertility disorder, severely impacts reproductive-aged women’s health and societal well-being. Methods: Bibliometric analysis via Web of Science (2013–2023) using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometric. Results: Analyzed 1835 studies from 80 countries, led by China/US. Research surged post-2017. Journal of Gynecological Endocrinology was most productive; Fertility and Sterility had the highest impact. Key topics: insulin resistance, obesity, testosterone. Legro (prolific) and Azziz (highly cited) dominated authorship. Conclusion: PCOS-sex hormone research holds growing scientific/social relevance. Current hotspots focus on metabolic-pathological mechanisms, guiding future investigations into personalized therapies and risk management.
