Research on pharmacoeconomics (PE) promotes the rational allocation of medical resources, which has received attention in the last decade. We conducted a scientometric analysis of PE to determine the current status and frontiers, and promote cooperation and development.The Web of Science Core Collection-Science Citation Index Expanded was adopted to retrieve publications associated with PE from 2012-2021. After screening publications, CiteSpace 3.8.R3 was used to conduct a scientometric analysis. We analyzed terms, including publications and citations, countries/regions, institutions, journals, authors, keywords, and references.In total, 4,715 documents published from 2012-2021 were included in this study, of which 3,829 were articles and 886 were reviews. The documents were cited 54,596 times, at an average of 11.58 times per document. 121 countries/regions and 410 institutions were involved. The top 3 countries/regions by the number of publications were the United States of America (n=1,790), England (n=601), and China (n=403), while the institution with the most publications was Pfizer. Pharmacoeconomics was the main journal of PE, with 310 publications in all, and the top 3 cited journals were New England Journal of Medicine (citation times =1,620), Value in Health (citation times =1,306), and Lancet (citation times =1,255). Bin Wu was the most productive author (n=16), while World Health Organization was the most influential author (citation times =387). 524 keywords altogether were found, and the top 3 keywords by frequency were therapy (frequency =318), impact (frequency =305), and cost-effectiveness (frequency =296). The keyword "modifying antirheumatic drug" associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has continued bursting from 2016-2021. Guide to the methods of technology appraisal 2013 by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, was the most frequently cited publication on PE (citation times =65). Cluster 0 labeled as "cost-effectiveness analysis" (CEA) was the largest and latest cluster, and its citing articles focused on the CEA of first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).The economic analysis of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs related to RA was a popular topic in the last 6 years, and CEA of NSCLC first-line treatment was at the frontier of PE.2022 Annals of Translational Medicine.
