"COVID" which stands for corona virus disease, has become the world's most infamous acronym. Previous analysis of acronyms in health and medical journals found a growing use of acronyms over time in titles and abstracts, with "DNA" as the most common. Here we examine acronyms in the pandemic year of 2020 to show the dramatic rise of COVID-related research. "COVID" was over five times more frequently used than "DNA" in 2020, and in just one year it has become the sixth most popular acronym of all time, surpassing "AIDS", "PCR" and "MRI".
“COVID”代表冠状病毒病，已成为世界上最臭名昭著的首字母缩略词。此前对健康和医学期刊中首字母缩略词的分析发现，随着时间的推移，标题和摘要中首字母缩略词的使用越来越多，其中“DNA”最为常见。在此，我们研究了2020年这一疫情年中的首字母缩略词，以展示与COVID相关研究的急剧增加。2020年，“COVID”的使用频率比“DNA”高出五倍多，并且仅用一年时间，它就已成为有史以来第六大最常用的首字母缩略词，超过了“艾滋病”（AIDS）、“聚合酶链反应”（PCR）和“磁共振成像”（MRI）。
