Research trends analysis of chronic hepatitis C versus nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A literature review text‐mining analysis of publications

Background Hepatits C virus (HCV) rates have lowered due to direct‐acting antiviral treatment. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rising with no available therapy. We employed text‐mining to analyze trends in HCV and NAFLD research from the past two decad...

Description
Summary:Background Hepatits C virus (HCV) rates have lowered due to direct‐acting antiviral treatment. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rising with no available therapy. We employed text‐mining to analyze trends in HCV and NAFLD research from the past two decades. Materials and Methods We queried PubMed for all HCV and NASH/NAFLD entries published between 2000 and 2020. We compared the total number of publications on both etiologies. We performed subanalyses for different terms of interest and for geographic origin. Results Overall, 75,934 HCV‐related entries and 24,987 NASH/NAFLD‐related entries were published during the study period. Up to 2015, there was a linear upward slope in the number of annual HCV publications (154.9 publications/year, p
