We reviewed the literature on mass gatherings published worldwide to determine event types and topics or epidemiologic aspects covered. Articles using the term mass gatherings indexed in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2015 were reviewed. Of the 518 returned, we selected 96 with relevant information. The main event types studied were related to sports (46%), music (25%) or religious/social content (23%), and the most commonly studied locations were the United States (n=21), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (n=17), Australia (n=11), and the United Kingdom (n=10). The four most often studied events were the Hajj (n=17), the Olympic games (n=13), World Youth Day (n=8), and the FIFA World Cup (n=6). The main topics studied were models of health care (n=55), health care evaluation by means of rates of patients presenting for care or transferred to hospitals (n=21), respiratory pathogens (n=18), syndromic surveillance (n=10), and the global spread of diseases (n=10). Mass gatherings are an emerging area of study addressed by various medical specialties that have focused on studying the health care models used at such events. Emergency medicine is particularly involved with this research topic.
我们查阅了全球发表的关于大型活动的文献，以确定活动类型以及所涵盖的主题或流行病学方面。对2000年至2015年间在Scopus数据库中索引的使用“大型活动”一词的文章进行了审查。在返回的518篇文章中，我们挑选出96篇有相关信息的文章。所研究的主要活动类型与体育（46%）、音乐（25%）或宗教/社会内容（23%）相关，最常研究的地点是美国（n = 21）、沙特阿拉伯王国（n = 17）、澳大利亚（n = 11）和英国（n = 10）。研究最多的四项活动是麦加朝圣（n = 17）、奥运会（n = 13）、世界青年日（n = 8）和国际足联世界杯（n = 6）。所研究的主要主题是医疗保健模式（n = 55）、通过就诊或转院患者比例进行的医疗保健评估（n = 21）、呼吸道病原体（n = 18）、症状监测（n = 10）以及疾病的全球传播（n = 10）。大型活动是一个新兴的研究领域，多个医学专业都在关注研究此类活动中使用的医疗保健模式。急诊医学尤其参与了这一研究主题。
