Abstract:
Objective:To visualize and analyze the literature on the application of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in the field of wounds in the Web of Science core collection, and to explore the current status, frontiers, and trends of related research.Methods:The Web of Science core collection was used as the data source, and the search time period was from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2024. Visual bibliometric analysis of the included literature was performed using VOSviewer 1.6.20 and CiteSpace 6.2.R4 for the number of publications, country and institution of publication, and keywords.Results:A total of 941 papers were included, with an increasing and then decreasing trend in the number of publications. The country with the largest number of publications was the United States (245), and although China ranked 2nd in the number of publications (208), the average number of citations in the literature was low. There was no strong cooperation network among publishing institutions. The proportion of articles published by core authors was 47.61% (448/941), with no significant core group of authors. In the past 5 years, research on NPWT in the field of wounds focused on chronic wound nursing and treatment, acute surgical incision complications and their prevention, wound closure and skin reconstruction, and risk factors for NPWT.Conclusions:The clinical application scope of NPWT has been expanded from simple wounds to complex wounds, tissue regeneration, and other fields. Researchers can carry out multi-center, large-sample, high-quality randomized controlled studies, enhance inter-institutional cooperation, and focus on interdisciplinary intersections and the formulation of NPWT care plans.
