Hotspots and frontiers in luteal phase defect research: An in-depth global trend bibliometric and visualization analysis over a 52-year period

Abstract

Luteal phase defect (LPD) is a common female reproductive endocrine defect，which is associated not only with certain diseases but also with the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. With the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in recent years, the incidence of luteal phase defect is high among patients using assisted reproductive technology. The aim of this study was to evaluate worldwide research on luteal phase defects using bibliometric analysis. A total of 631 documents related to the study of luteal phase defect were identified over the last 52 years. The current status and trend of globalization can be comprehended by analyzing the annual number of publications, institutions, authors, countries and regions of corresponding authors, journals, influential luteal phase defect publications (which were highly cited), highly cited references in luteal phase defect publications (cocitation analysis) and keywords. The study results provide a comprehensive overview of the development of scientific literature and are of great significance for the future development of the field，especially infertility and early pregnancy loss.
