Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) is a major cause of high morbidity and mortality among patients in intensive care units (ICU). Although numerous basic and clinical researches on MODS have been conducted, there is still a long way to go to prevent patients from entering this stage. To our knowledge, no bibliometric analyses of MODS have been reported, this study, therefore, was conducted to reveal MODS research status and trends during 2001-2021.
All relevant literature covering MODS during 2001-2021 were extracted from Web of Science. An online analysis platform of literature metrology was used to analyze the publication trends. VOSviewer software was used to collect and analyze the keywords and research hotspots related to MODS.
As of July 31, 2021, a total of 994 MODS-related articles from 2001 to 2021 were identified. The United States accounted for the largest number of publications (31.1%), followed by China and Germany, with 186 and 75 publications, respectively. Among all the institutions, the University of Pittsburgh published the most papers related to MODS (21). published the most papers in this field (106). Professor Moore EE, who had the most citation frequency (1847), made great achievements in MODS research. Moreover, analysis of the keywords identified three MODS research hotspot clusters: "mechanism-related research," "clinical research," and "diagnostic research."
The United States maintained a top position worldwide and made the most outstanding contribution in the MODS field. In terms of publication, China was next only to the United States, but there was a disproportion between the quantity of publications and citation frequency. The institution University of Pittsburgh and journal represent the highest level of research in this field. During the 20 years from 2001 to 2021, basic MODS research has been in-depth yet progressed relatively slowly recently, but the outbreak of COVID-19 has to some extent set off an upsurge of clinical research in MODS field.
多器官功能障碍综合征（MODS）是重症监护病房（ICU）患者高发病率和高死亡率的主要原因。尽管已经开展了大量关于MODS的基础和临床研究，但要防止患者进入这一阶段仍有很长的路要走。据我们所知，尚未有关于MODS的文献计量分析报道，因此，本研究旨在揭示2001 - 2021年期间MODS的研究现状和趋势。
从Web of Science中提取2001 - 2021年期间所有涉及MODS的相关文献。使用文献计量在线分析平台分析发表趋势。VOSviewer软件用于收集和分析与MODS相关的关键词和研究热点。
截至2021年7月31日，共识别出2001年至2021年期间994篇与MODS相关的文章。美国的出版物数量最多（占31.1%），其次是中国和德国，分别有186篇和75篇出版物。在所有机构中，匹兹堡大学发表的与MODS相关的论文最多（21篇）。在该领域发表论文最多（106篇）。被引频次最高的摩尔·EE教授（1847次）在MODS研究方面取得了巨大成就。此外，对关键词的分析确定了三个MODS研究热点集群：“机制相关研究”、“临床研究”和“诊断研究”。
美国在全球范围内保持领先地位，在MODS领域做出了最杰出的贡献。在发表方面，中国仅次于美国，但出版物数量与被引频次之间存在不均衡。匹兹堡大学和期刊代表了该领域的最高研究水平。在2001年至2021年的20年里，MODS基础研究虽已深入但近期进展相对缓慢，而新冠疫情在一定程度上引发了MODS领域的临床研究热潮。
