ABSTRACT
Objective:Based on knowledge visualization analysis to explore the progress of diabetic cardiomyopathy from 2000 to 2020.Methods:Literatures related to diabetic cardiomyopathy indexed in Web of Sciences databases ranging from 2000 to 2020 were collected. Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace 5.0.R1 software were used for visual analysis of countries, research institutions, authors, keywords and related citations.Results:A total of 2 536 articles were collected preliminarily. China has published the most articles in this field through visualization. A total of 909 related articles have been published in the past 20 years, and China has been closely communicated internationally. The United States and Canada ranked the second and the third respectively, totaling 723 and 201. For the distribution of research institutions, the University of Louisville ranked first with 86 articles. A few top high-impact authors, such as Lu Cai and Tan Yi, are from this institution and have published the most articles, indicating that the University of Louisville can be regarded as an international academic center in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Domestic Jilin University and Shandong University followed, ranking the second and the third with 70 and 66 papers respectively. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows that research hotspots in this field at home and abroad mainly focus on the investigation of the clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Finally, through the co-cited literature network, cluster #4 (SGLT-2 inhibitor) is still in evolvement. The development process shows that the treatment is a new trend in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy research.Conclusions:Knowledge visualization analysis can visually exhibit the intellectual structure, evolution process, hotspots and trending in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy research. The results showed that the main research power was located in the China, but the cooperation among personnel needs to be strengthened. The future research trend is mainly focused on the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
ABSTRACT
Sudden cardiac arrest survivors are a special group of patients, often with unique and complex needs that are not adequately addressed by current treatments. In May 2020, the American Heart Association (AHA) developed a scientific statement on sudden cardiac arrest survivorship based on relevant research developments, which emphasized the importance of a unified patient-centered assessment and resources. This article attempts to interpret the key content of the scientific statement, hoping to provide reference and help for domestic medical staff to understand and apply it.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explored the progress of intensive care unit (ICU) delirium between 2010 and 2020 based on knowledge visualization analysis.Methods:The literatures related to ICU delirium included in Web of Sciences (WOS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases from 2010 to 2020 were collected. A bibliometric analysis was performed. The growth trend was showed by Excel 2019 software. The information about country, institution and author were extracted by VOSviewer 1.6.15 for generating cooperative network, to find the main research power and each cooperative relation. At the same time, Citespace 5.0.R1 was used to analyze those high frequency keywords and bursting keywords and build the map of co-citation reference, in order to explore the evolution of research in the field of ICU delirium and the hotspots about this field in recent 10 years.Results:A total of 1 102 Chinese journal articles and 2 422 English "Articles" or "Reviews" from 2010 to 2020 were collected preliminarily, and the number of published literatures increased steadily. In the respect of quality, the impact factors of most articles were concentrated between 2 and 3, and the literatures with impact factor over 5 accounted for 27.9% (337/1 209). According to the knowledge visualization analysis, the United States published most of the related articles (total 1 152) in this field, while the England and Canada ranked second and third respectively, totaling 220 and 204. In terms of the distribution of research institutions, the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine was not only far ahead in the number of publication ( n = 149), but more importantly, top three high-impact authors located in this institution. The amount of domestic publications was lower than developed countries, however, the burst index, which reflected the sudden increase, ranked first (7.09), suggesting that the interest and investment of Chinese researchers was increasing recently. The most productive institution in China was Capital Medical University School of Nursing with totaling 23 articles. Wu Ying, who published most Chinese papers ( n = 14), belongs to this institution. However, it was a pity that there was no large scientific community be constructed in China, and the cooperation between institutions was deficient. By generating the co-occuring keyword mapping, the research hotpots mainly focused on the prevention, treatment and prevention of delirium in mechanically ventilated patients, the effect of dexmedetomidine and exploring the risk factor of ICU delirium. Finally, the results of co-citation reference analysis showed that Cluster 4 (risk assessment) was still in the process of development, in hence it was the frontier in this domain. Conclusions:There was a big gap between China and leading countries in the field of ICU delirium research. The main research power was located in the United States, and the trending of future studies mainly focus on delirium-related risk assessment.
ABSTRACT
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global medical challenge. Early case recognition and initiating the chain of survival is associated with good prognosis of these patients. On the basis of former research, American Heart Association (AHA) published a policy statement related to telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) in March 2020, and introduced its specific procedures, standards and precautions. To assist Chinese doctors in better understanding of the T-CPR, and give a reference for the emergency curing of OHCA, the guideline was translated and interpreted in this paper.
ABSTRACT
In patients being resuscitated successfully after cardiac arrest, electroencephalogram reactivity (EEG-R) is considered as a prognostic indicator. However, there are no clear guidelines on how to test EEG-R and exact definition of EEG-R. The International consensus on electroencephalogram reactivity testing after cardiac arrest on 2018, which is jointly developed by expert in relevant fields from many countries, reach a partial consensus on the test stimulation plan and definition of EEG-R. This paper interprets the main points of the consensus to provide reference for doctors majored in relevant fields in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the progress of microcirculation research in shock and sepsis from 2000 to 2019 based on knowledge visualization analysis.Methods:The literatures related to microcirculation of shock and sepsis published in Web of Science and Wanfang databases were collected from 2000 to 2019. Then, data collected was sorted out and used to make bar charts and curves reflecting the growth trend of the literatures using Excel software. The information about country, institution and author were extracted by CiteSpace 5.0 R1 for generating co-occurring network, to find the main research power and each cooperative relation. This software was also used to analyze the related-keywords and cited reference, so that the map of co-citation reference was drawn subsequently to explore the frontiers and hot spots in this field.Results:There were a total of 2 000 Chinese "papers" or "dissertations", 1 823 English "articles" or "reviews", collected preliminarily. The Chinese literatures were only statistically described for the amounts, institutions and authors, however, all retrieved English literatures were enrolled in the visualization analysis eventually. From 2009 to 2019, the number of English literatures rose steadily; however, the number of Chinese literatures had been sliding since 2011. On terms of quality, the impact factors of most literatures were under 6, lacking high quality ones, and the number remained stable every year. According to the analysis of English literatures, the top three countries that published related papers around the world were Germany ( n = 430), the United States ( n = 401) and Netherlands ( n = 223). In the aspect of research institutions, the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) ranked first in the Web of Science ( n = 113), while the institution in China with the most publications was the Southern Medical University ( n = 71). According to the analysis of co-occurring author network, there were three major globe scientific groups in which Can Ince, Daniel De Backer and Jean-Louis Vincent contributed most to this research field. The top three authors who published most Chinese papers were Niu Chunyu ( n = 20), Zhao Zigang ( n = 18) and Duan Meili ( n = 13). By generating the co-occurring keyword mapping, the research hot spots mainly focused on "blood flow", "nitric oxide", "hemorrhagic shock" and "perfusion". However, these burst keywords, including "cardiogenic shock", "acute kidney injury", "fluid resuscitation", "sublingual microcirculation", "mortality", "oxidative stress", and "critically ill patient", represented the frontiers in microcirculation research of shock and sepsis field. Finally, the results of co-citation reference analysis showed that "sublingual microcirculation" and "mottling score" were most active, indicating that the research of microcirculation monitoring technology could be considered as a hot spot and also the frontier in this field, which was consistent with the results of co-occurring keywords network. Conclusions:Knowledge visualization analysis can visually exhibit the hot spot and trend of microcirculation research in shock and sepsis. The power was mainly focused on a few developed countries in Europe, and the trend was more inclined to the related microcirculation monitoring technology.
