New drugs, including biologic agents and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, have blossomed. Concepts such as window of opportunity, arthralgia suspicious for progression, or difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have appeared; and new management approaches and strategies such as treat-to-target have become popular. Statistical learning methods, gene therapy, telemedicine, or precision medicine are other advancements that have gained relevance in the field. To better characterize the research landscape and advances in rheumatology, automatic and efficient approaches based on natural language processing (NLP) should be used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objective of this study is to use topic modeling (TM) techniques to uncover key topics and trends in rheumatology research conducted in the last 23\u2009years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retrospective study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study analyzed 96,004 abstracts published between 2000 and December 31, 2023, drawn from 34 specialized rheumatology journals obtained from PubMed. BERTopic, a novel TM approach that considers semantic relationships among words and their context, was used to uncover topics. Up to 30 different models were trained. Based on the number of topics, outliers, and topic coherence score, two of them were finally selected, and the topics were manually labeled by two rheumatologists. Word clouds and hierarchical clustering visualizations were computed. Finally, hot and cold trends were identified using linear regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Abstracts were classified into 45 and 47 topics.
