Abstract
Our main objective is to first characterize the current status of the research field of interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). This is achieved by mapping, analyzing, and sub-analyzing the field with a scientometric approach, which provides insights into future research. In September 2023, the Scopus database was searched without restrictions on language and date. The following search query was used: Bladder* W/5 pain* W/3 syndrome* AND Interstitial* W/3 (Cystitis* OR Cystides) and the Scopus filters were used to exclude short surveys, book chapters, editorials, notes, and guidelines. The author, journal, institution data, keywords, average citation, countries, and sources were transformed using a Biblioshiny tool (A Shiny app for Bibliometrix), accounting for author spelling, institutional naming, and subgrouping variations. The search strategy yielded 1833 studies.…
