Abstract：
Introduction: We conducted a twenty-year bibliometric analysis of scientific literature, focusing on the trends of The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) use in health research.
Methods: We retrieved 3\'467 documents published between 2002 and 2022, sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database. We used the Bibliometrix and VoSviewer tools for descriptive analyses and data visualization.
Results: Our findings indicate a significant increase in ICF application since 2011, with an average annual growth rate of 13.19%. Prominent contributions were observed globally, with notable outputs from the U.S., Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The Ludwig Maximilian University Munich, Swiss Paraplegic Research, and McMaster University authored a quarter of the documents (24.6%). Collaboration networks of countries and institutions revealed robust partnerships, particularly between Germany and Switzerland. \"Rehabilitation\" was the most frequently occurring keyword, although a thematic shift towards epidemiology, aging, and health-related quality of life was observed post-2020. While rehabilitation remained the primary thematic focus, literature post-2020 highlighted epidemiology as a growing area of interest.
Conclusions: A steady increase in ICF-based research mirrors the rising interest in a biopsychosocial and person-centered approach to healthcare. However, the literature is primarily produced by high-resource countries, with underrepresentation from low and middle-resource countries, suggesting an area of future research to address this discrepancy.
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) serves as a universal framework for describing functioning and disability.The increasing application of the ICF in rehabilitation research underscores its value in developing comprehensive, person-centered care plans.By integrating the ICF, rehabilitation programs can better address the multifaceted needs of patients, facilitating improved outcomes in participation and quality of life.The observed thematic shift towards aging and health-related quality of life post-2020 indicates the growing relevance of the ICF in managing the complex health challenges of an aging population.The study also suggests that expanding the ICF implementation in low- and middle-income countries could bridge existing disparities in rehabilitation services, promoting global health equity.

摘要：
简介：我们对科学文献进行了为期20年的文献计量分析，关注国际功能分类的趋势，残疾与健康（ICF）在健康研究中的应用。
方法：我们检索了2002年至2022年之间发布的3个467个文档，这些文档来自WebofScienceCoreCollection数据库。我们使用Bibliometrix和VoSviewer工具进行描述性分析和数据可视化。
结果：我们的发现表明，自2011年以来，ICF的应用显着增加，年均增长率为13.19％。在全球范围内观察到了突出的贡献，来自美国的显著产出，加拿大,德国,荷兰,和瑞士。慕尼黑路德维希·马克西米利安大学，瑞士截瘫研究，麦克马斯特大学撰写了四分之一的文件(24.6%)。国家和机构的合作网络显示出强有力的伙伴关系，尤其是在德国和瑞士之间。“康复”是出现频率最高的关键词，尽管主题转向流行病学，老化，2020年后观察到与健康相关的生活质量。虽然康复仍然是主要的主题重点，2020年后的文献强调流行病学是一个越来越感兴趣的领域。
结论：基于ICF的研究稳步增加，反映出人们对生物心理社会和以人为本的医疗保健方法的兴趣与日俱增。然而,文献主要是由高资源国家制作的，来自中低资源国家的代表性不足，建议未来的研究领域来解决这一差异。
功能的国际分类，残疾与健康（ICF）是描述功能和残疾的通用框架。ICF在康复研究中的越来越多的应用强调了其在发展全面、以人为本的护理计划。通过整合ICF，康复计划可以更好地解决患者的多方面需求，促进改善参与和生活质量的结果。观察到的主题向2020年后老龄化和与健康相关的生活质量的转变表明，ICF在管理人口老龄化的复杂健康挑战方面的相关性日益增强。该研究还表明，在低收入和中等收入国家扩大ICF的实施可以弥合康复服务方面的现有差距，促进全球卫生公平。
