Abstract：Objective To explore the research hotspots and trends of continuous care for stroke survivors in China using CiteSpace visualization analysis,so as to provide references for its better implementation in the future.Methods Articles on continuous care for stroke patients were retrieved from CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,and China Biomedical Literature Database,with the time from inception to May 1,2024.Then,CiteSpace 6.3.R1 was used to analyze the authors,publishing institutions and keywords,and draw the maps.Results A total of 1 882 articles were included.The annual publication volume showed an upward trend initially and then declined from 2009 to 2024.There were 17 core authors,but no core author group was formed.The research institution with the most publications was the fifth affiliated hospital of Xinjiang medical university,and the connections among institutions were not close.Moreover,the research hotspots mainly focused on intervention effect,psychological state and compliance of patients,with the research frontiers being swallowing function and home-based rehabilitation.Conclusion The research on continuous care for stroke patients in China is in a period of rapid development,but the cooperation among authors and institutions is not close enough.Therefore,in the future,it is necessary to strengthen cross-regional and cross-institutional cooperation and exchanges to promote its implementation and development.
