Economic Burden of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Bibliometric and Thematic Analysis

This dataset comprises structured text data containing bibliographic records and associated metadata of peer-reviewed scientific articles examining the economic burden of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The dataset was compiled to support bibliometric and scientometric analyses of research trends, geographic distribution, authorship and institutional collaboration patterns, journal outlets, and conceptual structures within the ADHD economic-burden literature.

The data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and cover publications released between January 2000 and November 2025. Only English-language documents classified as “articles” or “early access articles” were included. Eligible studies explicitly attributed economic burden, cost of illness, or healthcare costs to ADHD. Articles addressing broader diagnostic categories or comparative treatment analyses were excluded unless ADHD-specific economic estimates were reported separately.

The dataset includes bibliographic text fields such as titles, abstracts, author keywords, citation information, publication years, journal names, author affiliations, and institutional and country metadata. These textual and categorical data enable replication of performance analysis and science mapping procedures, including assessments of publication growth, collaboration networks, geographic contributions, journal distribution, keyword co-occurrence patterns, and thematic mapping of research topics.

This dataset is intended for researchers conducting bibliometric, systematic mapping, or secondary analyses in health economics, psychiatry, and mental health policy. It may also support methodological research on interdisciplinary knowledge production and the evolution of economic-burden research in neurodevelopmental disorders.

本数据集包含经同行评议的科学文章的结构化文本数据、文献著录记录及其关联元数据，相关研究聚焦于注意缺陷多动障碍（attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder，ADHD）的经济负担。本数据集的编制旨在支撑针对注意缺陷多动障碍经济负担相关文献的文献计量与科学计量分析，涵盖研究趋势、地域分布、作者与机构合作模式、期刊来源以及概念结构等分析维度。

本数据集的数据源自Web of Science核心合集（Web of Science Core Collection，WoS），收录了2000年1月至2025年11月期间发表的文献。仅纳入归类为"研究论文"或"提前出版论文"的英文文献。符合纳入标准的研究需明确将经济负担、疾病成本或医疗成本归因于注意缺陷多动障碍；针对更宽泛诊断类别或比较治疗分析的文章将被排除，除非其中单独报告了针对注意缺陷多动障碍的专属经济估算数据。

本数据集包含各类文献著录文本字段，具体包括标题、摘要、作者关键词、引文信息、发表年份、期刊名称、作者所属机构，以及机构与国家元数据。这些文本与分类数据可支持绩效分析与科学制图流程的复现，涵盖文献发表增长评估、合作网络分析、地域贡献分析、期刊分布分析、关键词共现模式分析以及研究主题的主题制图等内容。

本数据集面向开展健康经济学、精神病学与精神卫生政策领域文献计量、系统制图或二次分析的研究人员，同时也可支撑跨学科知识生产以及神经发育障碍领域经济负担研究演进方向的方法学研究。
