description Objectives: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a serious condition that affects women worldwide, In recent years, the number of research publications on POI has increased over the last decades because of the advancement of cutting-edge research in gynecology and the deepening of disciplinary interactions. At the same time, there is a more urgent need to systematically analyze and review existing studies to generalize the research paradigm and disciplinary structure of the field under technological changes.Materials and methods: We selected the top 100 most cited papers in the Web of Science (WOS) SCI-Expanded database. Knowledge graphs were constructed through the VOS viewer, Cite Space, and Scimago Graphica software, and then relevant information retrieved from the literature was edited using Excel to assess research priorities and trends in the field.Results: A total of 53 periodicals from 34 different nations and regions published the 100 most-cited publications between 1999 and 2024. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism published the majority of the papers, while The Lancet had the highest average number of citations per piece. The United States of America produced the highest contribution in terms of publications, with China and France closely trailing after. In terms of total publications, Erasmus MC, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Shandong University each contributed the highest number of papers. The main categories were obstetrics and gynecology, endocrinology and metabolism, and reproductive biology. The top five keywords were: failure, women, ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE, NATURAL MENOPAUSE, and AGE. The study of HERITAGE AND GENETICS, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, and CELL BIOLOGY AND IMMUNOGENETICS is becoming more and more popular in POI, as shown by cluster analysis.Conclusions: Bibliometric analysis enables POI researchers to efficiently and visibly pinpoint the cutting-edge areas and focal points of their study. Potential topics of future study may include genetic and molecular biological pathways, cardiovascular pathology, and immunology.
