Potential vicious cycle between postoperative pain and sleep disorders: A bibliometric analysis

Resumen

Background Surgical pain affects postoperative sleep quality, and they jointly form a vicious cycle of mutual influence. The cycle of postoperative pain and sleep disorders could lead to delirium, cardiovascular disease, and hyperalgesia, which significantly affect patients’ postoperative recovery. Thus, exploring this phenomenon is of great importance for surgical patients, and warrants further investigation. Objective By employing bibliometric methods, this study systematically analyzes the publications on postoperative pain-sleep disorders, identifies research trends and field dynamics, and ultimately provides insights for further progress in this research area. Methods In this study, we searched the Web of Science database for studies on postoperative pain and sleep disorders from 2013 to 2023, and analyzed the number of publications, journals, authors, institutions, country regions, and keywords by utilizing CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix. Results The 1894 retrieved publications showed a trend of increasing number of publications and correlations between postoperative pain and sleep disorders from 2013 to 2023. The top countries for publications included the USA, China, etc., establishing a global collaborative network centered around the USA, China, and Europe. The top institutions for publications included University of California System, Harvard University, etc. The top authors include Christine Miaskowski, Steven M. Paul, Qiuling Shi, etc. These publications involved multiple disciplines including surgery, neurology, and anesthesiology, and various research funds including NIH, HHS, NSFC, etc. The top journals for publications included the European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, etc. Keywords that appear most frequently in this field include “pain”, “surgery”, “quality of life”, “sleep”, “depression”, and “outcomes”. The thematic map indicated that the hot topics in this area include obstructive sleep apnea, tonsillectomy, children, pain, quality of life, and sleep. The undeveloped topics with research potential included postoperative pain, analgesia and dexmedetomidine, breast cancer, fatigue, and lung cancer. Conclusion The increased number of publications and correlations between postoperative pain and sleep disorders, and the collaborative network across the USA, China, and Europe indicate a growing global interest in this area. This study also provides valuable insights into the trend of hot topics and frontiers and shows that this is an evolving and dynamic research area.
