Metabolic and bariatric surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome was the subject of 241 publications between 1999 and 2023, with obesity and weight loss emerging as the most frequent keywords.
This bibliometric analysis highlights the growing research interest in metabolic and bariatric surgery for obstructive sleep apnea, identifying key trends and future research frontiers.
OBJECTIVES: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) has garnered significant research interest. The main aim of this study was to analyse the unique characteristics of publications centred around MBS for OSAS. We aimed to provide valuable insights into the present status of the field and offer predictions regarding future trends. DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis through science mapping and performance analysis methods. DATA SOURCES: Scientific articles. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science database to retrieve publications on MBS for OSAS within the time frame of 1999-2023. The search was performed using keywords such as "Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome", "OSAS", "metabolic surgery" and "bariatric surgery" to identify relevant papers. To analyse the bibliometric characteristics of these publications, VOSviewer and R software were used. This analysis encompassed various aspects, including the number of publications, contributions by different countries and institutions, the most cited author, journal publications, citation frequency and the identification of keywords related to popular scientific fields. RESULTS: , with 241 publications. Keywords "Bariatric surgery", "Obstructive sleep apnea", "Obesity", "Weight loss" and "Morbid obesity" have the highest frequency of occurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between obesity and OSAS, various metabolic surgical techniques, and the mechanism of MBS for OSAS will continue to be related areas of frontiers. Furthermore, while there has been a gradual increase in basic research, the mechanisms involved and the long-term efficacy of bariatric MBS for OSAS still require further investigation. It is anticipated that these research areas may emerge as potential hot topics in the future.
