- The study conducts a bibliometric analysis on the role of enteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) in managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) from 1999 to 2025.
- A total of 3,245 documents were analyzed, showing a power-law growth trend in research interest.
- The USA and UK lead in global collaboration, while China ranks third in publication volume but has less cooperative intensity.
- Research trends shifted from early focus on 'total parenteral nutrition' and 'corticosteroids' to 'exclusive enteral nutrition'.
- Recent citation bursts (2020-2025) highlight emerging interests in 'Mediterranean diet', 'gut microbiome', and 'Crohn's disease exclusion diet', indicating a move towards personalized and microbiome-focused therapies.
- The study underscores the growing importance of nutritional therapy in IBD management and calls for more high-quality research to inform multidisciplinary treatment guidelines.
