Background: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are forms of inflammatory bowel disease affecting approximately 1% of the population. Their typical features include chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Extraintestinal manifestations may coincide with or precede the diagnosis of these diseases. Primary sclerosing cholangitis is one such extraintestinal manifestation. Although many papers on this field have been published, bibliometric analysis still needs to be conducted. This article summarizes the current research progress through a bibliometric study, provides an overview of the research status in this field, and analyzes recent research trends.

Methods: Publications on inflammatory bowel disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis from January 1, 2008, to August 31, 2023, were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to perform a bibliometric and visual study.

Results: There are 1499 relevant articles, and the number of articles in this field has been relatively stable in recent years. The results indicate that Karlson TH from the University of Oslo has the highest cumulative number of publications. The institution with the highest publication output is the Mayo Clinic, and the United States leads in article production, occupying a dominant position. Keyword analysis reveals 4079 keywords, with primary sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis being the most frequently occurring keywords.

Conclusion: Research on the association between inflammatory bowel disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis is steadily advancing, with the United States leading in publication output globally. China needs to invest more in research in this area, and collaboration among institutions should be strengthened. The research hotspots revolve around the association between inflammatory bowel disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis, gut microbiota, and other fields.
