Medical decision-making for adolescents with depression: A bibliometric study and visualization analysis via CiteSpace.

This study focussed on evaluating the status of recent research on medical decision-making for adolescents with depression and identifying research hotspots and frontiers via CiteSpace. We extracted studies that were concerned with medical decision-making for adolescents with depression from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), covering the period from 1 January 1999 to 20 September 2022. We used CiteSpace to generate online maps of worldwide cooperation among countries, institutions, and authors. Hotspots and frontiers were systematically summarized. A total of 368 papers related to medical decision-making for adolescents with depression were obtained from WoSCC. The most prolific author was Nick Midgley (seven papers). The United States and University College London were the leading country and institution in this research area, with 177 and 17 papers, respectively. Countries, institutions, and authors all actively collaborated. Main recent research trends include the preference or attitude towards medical treatment in adolescents with depression; approaches for adolescents with depression to seeking medical help; and the key role of parent, family, and primary care in medical decision-making for adolescents. Thus, further attention should be paid to determining how to promote the role of parents, families, and primary care in the decision-making process and create appropriate online help-seeking tools and decision aids to facilitate shared decision-making in the future.
