Abstract

Purpose of review: This study employs bibliometric methods to analyze global research trends in managing comorbid allergic diseases (e.g., allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, food allergies), aiming to identify key contributors, frameworks, and research gaps.

Recent findings: Bibliometric analysis of Web of Science data using CiteSpace, Excel, and R revealed an increasing trend in research output, with the U.S., U.K., and China being the leading contributors. Key chronic disease frameworks like the Chronic Care Model, Self-Management Program, and Innovative Care Framework were highly cited. Research hotspots included management strategies, prevalence, risk factors, and quality of life, with increasing focus on management approaches over time. The findings highlight the rising importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing comorbid allergic diseases. Tailored management strategies are required to address the chronic and complex nature of these conditions. Future research should focus on improving treatment efficacy and enhancing patient quality of life, as significant gaps remain in optimizing long-term care for these conditions.

Keywords: Allergic comorbidities; Bibliometrics; Chronic disease management; Global health; Intervention.
