摘要Objective: Through the presentation and visual analysis of the Citespace knowledge map, the future research hotspots and trends of domestic research on degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis are predicted. Methods: By searching the relevant literature on "degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis" included in the CNKI database from the establishment of the database to January 1, 2021, the annual publication volume, fund projects, research authors, research institutions, and research of the included literature For hotspots and other aspects, visual analysis was carried out with the help of Citespace software. Results: (1) A total of 266 related documents were included, of which 27 were published at the end of 2020; (2) The most funded projects are the National Natural Science Foundation of China (9 projects) and the National Science and Technology Support Program (5 projects); (3) In terms of author analysis, Zhu Liguo (16 articles), Yu Jie (13 articles), and Gao Chunyu (8 articles) rank the top three in terms of author analysis; (4) In terms of research institutions, Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (17 articles), Henan University of Chinese Medicine (4 articles), and Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine (4 articles) were the top 3 research institutions in terms of publication volume; (5) The keyword clustering label was "degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis", "lumbar spine", "lumbar spondylolisthesis", "degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis", "clinical observation" and "tuina". Conclusion: Research on "degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis" has gradually received widespread attention, but the amount of publications is still relatively small; relevant domestic researchers and research institutions have formed a certain degree of influence across the country, but large-scale national cooperation research is still scarce, and strengthening academic exchanges and cooperation is still an important direction for researchers and research institutions in this field in the future. The research direction of lumbar spinal stenosis caused by degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis will be a new direction and entry point for the study of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis in recent years.
