Abstract: BACKGROUND: The incidence of urinary incontinence after stroke is on the rise year by year. Various treatment methods for urinary incontinence have been emerged, with a constant increase in relevant studies and literatures. However, there is no systematic review and summary on the publication status, core authors, main research institutions and research focus of the literature in this field.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the core journal literatures with respect to post-stroke urinary incontinence in the past 10 years by using the visual knowledge map analysis software Citespace, to understand its development venation, research hotspots and future trends, and to provide objective suggestions for the future development. 
METHODS: A computer search of CNKI was performed for relevant literature published from 2009-2019, and finally 227 articles regarding post-stroke urinary incontinence were included for review. Target literatures were derived in Refworks format, and converted using Citespace software. An intuitive visual analysis was conducted based on mapping knowledge domains with respect to the authors, institutions, keywords, and burst terms of the included literatures.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 227 articles were included. There was a steady research development in this field in recent 10 years, and the number of literatures published in core journals was relatively balanced. There were five high-yield authors, and the main investigators were Wang Jingxin, Cai Wenzhi, Wang Juan, forming a professional research team. The main research institutions included Southern Medical University and its affiliated hospitals. There were 5 clusters of key words, such as “traditional Chinese medicine treatment” and 11 burst terms, such as “moxibustion,” with a high rate of change. The development trend of the research has been changed from clinical trials to systematic review and evidence-based medicine. To sum up, the research on post-stroke urinary incontinence has developed rapidly in the past 10 years, forming a number of core teams and research topics, which is still in the rising stage. Several measures have been expected to promote the rehabilitation of such patients and reduce the economic burden to the patients and the society, such as highly integrating superior resources from the perspective of national development strategy, promoting cooperation between different regions and institutions, and newly developing comprehensive treatment methods.
