Autoimmune thyroiditis and comorbid autoimmune diseases: global research landscape and future directions

1

Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) frequently coexists with other autoimmune diseases, complicating management and outcomes for affected patients.
2

The study analyzed 2,201 publications from 1980 to 2024, highlighting global research trends in autoimmune thyroiditis and associated autoimmune disorders.
3

The United States led in published articles, with the University of Pisa being the most productive institution in this research area.
4

Five primary research areas identified include immune dysregulation, comorbidities, genetic susceptibility, and biomarkers related to autoimmune thyroiditis.
5

Future research directions emphasize precision medicine, microbiota's role in immune regulation, and the relationship between comorbidities and systemic autoimmune diseases.
