From genomic discovery to application in age-related hearing loss: a global bibliometric and cross-ethnic analysis

This study systematically maps the developmental trajectory and research hotspots of ARHL genetics, revealing key patterns in geographic distribution, thematic evolution, and cross-ethnic applicability. The findings highlight the urgent need to strengthen research in non-European populations and promote international collaboration, thereby providing a theoretical foundation and data support for building a universally applicable genetic risk framework and advancing individualised interventions.
