Current Trends, Novel Insights, and Challenges in Septic Intestinal Injury: Bibliometric and Visual Analysis
摘要
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by organ dysfunction. Intestinal injury resulting from sepsis can worsen its progression, potentially culminating in severe infections and death. Due to its extreme severity and the significant threat to patients’ lives, sepsis has garnered considerable attention from the medical community. Therefore, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the collaboration and impact among countries, institutions, authors, subject areas, journals, keywords, and citations in the field of septic intestinal injury is essential. The bibliometric analysis included 1051 documents published between 2004 and 2024. The overall trend in the number of articles published showed an upward trajectory. China and the United States are the most influential countries in this field. Coopersmith, Craig M. and Deitch, EA have demonstrated their significant influence and pivotal roles in the field through their extensive publication records and the wide citation of their research. From 2004 to 2024, “MODS”, “epithelium”, “biomarker”, and “gut microbiome” are long-standing hot topics in this field, while “intestinal microbiota”, “intestinal barrier dysfunction”, and “bacteremia” may be important directions for future research. In summary, this study provides valuable and informative insights to relevant scholars that will contribute to the development of the field.
