Clinical Scorecard: Analyzing the Research Landscape and Thematic Progression of Colitis Induced by Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Bibliometric Study (2006-2025)

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionColitis induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors
Key MechanismsImmune checkpoint inhibitors enhance antitumor T-cell activity but can overstimulate the immune system, leading to immune-related adverse events (irAEs) such as colitis.
Target PopulationPatients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for cancer.
Care SettingOncology and immunotherapy clinics.

Key Highlights

  • 1,010 papers analyzed on ICI-induced colitis from 62 countries.
  • United States leads in publication volume and citations.
  • Future research should focus on combination therapies and biomarkers.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Monitor for symptoms of colitis in patients receiving ICIs.

Management

  • Develop comprehensive management strategies for ICI-induced colitis.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Regular assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients on ICIs.

Risks

  • Untreated colitis can lead to severe, life-threatening complications.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients undergoing treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Effective management strategies for ICI-induced colitis remain inadequate.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Prioritize research on fecal microbiota transplantation and predictive biomarkers.
