Objective: To evaluate the citation trends and scientific landscape of studies investigating critically ill patients with hematological malignancies (HM) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) using bibliometric analysis. Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection database was searched on March 14, 2026, for original articles published between 2000 and 2025. Publications related to HM requiring ICU admission were analyzed for citation counts, authorship, journals, countries of origin, international collaborations, and keyword trends. Results: A total of 290 publications were included in the final analysis. These studies received 5,576 citations, of which 5,003 remained after excluding self-citations. The mean number of citations per publication was 19.23. A total of 3,649 citing articles were identified (3,487 excluding self-citations). The most frequent keywords were mortality (n=44), intensive care (n=42), and critical care (n=34), reflecting the primary research focus of the field. Conclusion: Research on critically ill patients with HM has primarily focused on mortality and prognostic evaluation, with a growing emphasis on intensive care management strategies. The increasing number of publications and strong international collaboration networks indicate a rapidly evolving field. Future research should focus on multicenter collaborations and standardized clinical approaches to enhance the generalizability and clinical impact of findings.
