ABSTRACT=<sec><title>Objective</title><p>Gastroparesis is one of the complications of diabetes mellitus, which has a major impact on the quality of life of patients, and the limited therapeutic options currently available make it a public health problem. No bibliometric studies on diabetic gastroparesis have been published to date. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to summarize and analyze the research hotspots for researchers.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Research articles related to Diabetic gastroparesis were searched in Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), and relevant information was extracted after screening. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 699 publications was conducted using Microsoft Excel 2019, Citespace and VOSviewers.</p></sec><sec><title>Result</title><p>A total of 699 papers from 738 institutions in 41 countries were retrieved. Publications in this field have increased rapidly since 1979. USA (<italic>n</italic> = 370) and Mayo Clinical (<italic>n</italic> = 69) were the most productive country and institution, respectively. Neurogastroenterology and Motility (<italic>n</italic> = 67) was the most published journal with Parkman, Henry P. (<italic>n</italic> = 40) having the highest number of articles; Gastroenterology and Mccallum, Richard W. were the most influential journals and authors.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>The research hotspots of Diabetic gastroparesis are mainly focused on treatment modalities and pathological mechanisms. Future research in diabetic gastroparesis will focus on exploring the pathomechanisms, finding long-term effective treatments, and improving patients' quality of life.</p></sec>
