Abstract:
Objective:To reveal the global evolution, cooperation models and research hotspots of wounds with drug-resistant bacterial infections in the elderly, and provide information support for future research directions.Methods:All literatures on wounds with drug-resistant bacterial infections in the elderly were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis was performed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer to visualize contributions from countries/regions, institutions, authors and journals, and to analyze keyword co-occurrence and temporal evolution.Results:After strict screening, a total of 130 literatures were included. Global research achievements on wounds with drug-resistant bacterial infections in the elderly showed a continuous growth. The United States was the main contributor in terms of the number of literatures, followed by Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. However, international cooperation was still limited, and the institutional network was sparse. The most significant burst keywords at present included " risk factors", " methicillin-resistant", " inpatients", " molecular epidemiology", " Staphylococcus aureus", " long-term care facilities", " nosocomial infections", " mortality", " pressure ulcers", " complex wounds" and " emerging drug-resistant bacteria" .Conclusions:In the future, priority must be given to in-depth research on the pathogenesis of wounds with drug-resistant bacterial infections in the elderly (epidemiological investigation of drug-resistant bacterial infections in elderly patients, interaction between single cells of aging wounds and drug-resistant microbiome); verification of the mode and effect of stratified precise treatment through multi-country trials; and establishment of a professional database through data collection and multi-modal information integration.
