Abstract

Resumen Objetivo: Analizar y caracterizar, mediante técnica bibliométrica, la documentación científica existente en la base de datos bibliográfica MEDLINE sobre la Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) relacionada con los cuidados domiciliarios. Método: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Los datos se obtuvieron de la base de datos MEDLINE, a través de PubMed, interrogando los términos a estudio en los campos de descriptores, título y resumen; fecha final de búsqueda 31 enero de 2021. Resultados: Evolución de la producción científica creciente (R2 = 0,8). El número de originales fue de 24 (20,5%), con Índice de Cooperación de 4,8 ± 0,3 autores/artículo. El idioma predominante fue el inglés con 103 (88,0%) referencias. El núcleo de Bradford lo constituyeron 9 (12,0%) revistas. La indización mayor sobre hospitalización a domicilio se constató en 28 (23,9%) de los documentos. Conclusiones: La producción analizada presentaba un crecimiento lineal directo, siendo el artículo original la principal tipología documental que principalmente estuvo redactada en inglés y presentó filiación estadounidense. Se probó un buen índice de colaboración, si bien el tema de hospitalización domiciliaria no estuvo mayoritariamente representado.

A Bibliometric Analysis of COVID-19 Research Activity: A Call for Increased Output

Mohamad Chahrour, Sahar Assi, Michael Bejjani … (2020)

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted many countries across all inhabited continents, and is now considered a global pandemic, due to its high rate of infectivity. Research related to this disease is pivotal for assessing pathogenic characteristics and formulating therapeutic strategies. The aim of this paper is to explore the activity and trends of COVID-19 research since its outbreak in December 2019. Methods: We explored the PubMed database and the World Health Organization (WHO) database for publications pertaining to COVID-19 since December 2019 up until March 18, 2020. Only relevant observational and interventional studies were included in our study. Data on COVID-19 incidence were extracted from the WHO situation reports. Research output was assessed with respect to gross domestic product (GDP) and population of each country. Results: Only 564 publications met our inclusion criteria. These articles came from 39 different countries, constituting 24% of all affected countries. China produced the greatest number of publications with 377 publications (67%). With respect to continental research activity, Asian countries had the highest research activity with 434 original publications (77%). In terms of publications per million persons (PPMPs), Singapore had the highest number of publications with 1.069 PPMPs. In terms of publications per billion-dollar GDP, Mauritius ranked first with 0.075. Conclusion: COVID-19 is a major disease that has impacted international public health on a global level. Observational studies and therapeutic trials pertaining to COVID-19 are essential for assessing pathogenic characteristics and developing novel treatment options.
