Background: Frailty and stroke are strongly related to the health of older people. This study aimed to map the research hotspots and frontiers, as well as quantitatively and comprehensively characterize the landscapes of publications on frailty in stroke over past decades. Methods: The articles and reviews related to frailty in stroke, published from 2001 to 2023 were retrieved in the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to identify the research hotspots, research frontiers, and the basic characteristics (such as top countries, institutions, journals and keywords) in this field. Results: The publications’ growth rate on frailty in stroke was increasing over time. Four research hotspot clusters (geriatric syndrome, adverse outcomes prediction, cognitive function and mental health, as well as cardiovascular diseases management) were identified for frailty in stroke research over the past decades. The burst detection analysis showed that recovery, body mass index and oropharyngeal dysphagia were the research trends. Conclusion: These findings will help scholars better understand current research progress and predict future directions related to frailty in stroke. Health providers could pay close attention to the development of scientific research in this field to maintain good health status of older people by geriatric care delivery.
