摘 要:Health care-associated infections(HCAIs)pose a substantial threat to immunocompromised individuals and represent a frequent adverse event in health care *** aim of this study was to evaluate the global research landscape of HCAIs among immunocompromised populations before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.A systematic search of articles published between 2013 and 2022 in the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted,and content analytics and integrated science mapping were used for data analysis and *** review identified 1,473 *** 633 articles authored by 4,151 individuals and published in 366 journals were *** average citation rate was 14.27 per document,and research production grew annually by 9.07%peaking in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic but declining in *** United States emerged as the most productive country,with 743 publication appearances and 2,485 *** such as“epidemiology,“infection,“mortality,and“risk factorswere frequently encountered in the analyzed *** main research themes,including“mortality,“sepsis,“immunosuppression,“expression,and“pneumonia,underscored the focal points of importance within this *** study highlighted the growing interest regarding HCAIs in immunocompromised populations,especially during the COVID-19 *** study findings underscore the need to advance research efforts to understand different immunocompromised states,develop tailored infection prevention measures,and address health care disparities to mitigate the burden of HCAIs among immunocompromised individuals.
