Bibliometric analysis of literatures on surgical site infection / 中国感染控制杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand characteristics and research status of literatures related to surgical site infec-tion(SSI)in China.Methods Literatures about SSI published between January 2000 and March 2016 were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP database,Vanfang Database,and China Biology Medi-cine(CBM)database. Bibliometric method was adopted to analyze external and internal characteristics of literatures. Results A total of 1036 articles in Chinese were included,40(3.86% ),189(18.24% ),and 807(77.90% )were published in 2000-2005,2006-2010,and the first quarter of 2011-2016 respectively. Articles were mainly pub-lishedinChineseJournalofNosocomiology(n= 226,21.81% ),ChineseJournalofInfectionControl(n= 53, 5.12% ),andChineseJournalofDisinfection(n= 27,2.61% ). The research fields included risk factors(n= 277, 26.74% ),infection rates (n= 261,25.19% ),antimicrobial application (n= 208,20.08% ),and pathogens (n=153,14.77% );the infection rates were higher in general surgery and neurosurgery,the main pathogens were Esch-erichiacoli,Staphylococcusaureus,and Pseudomonasaeruginosa,risk factors mainly included the types of incision, duration of surgery,diabetes,age,and body mass index.Conclusion In recent years,articles about SSI research in-creases significantly,research in etiology and epidemiology has gained substantial achievement,but in the interven-tion and economics is still weak,suggesting that SSI research in economics,risk management,and behavioral aspects should be strengthened.
