The emergency rapid response system (RRS) can reduce the mortality of hospitalized patients, and its core is the activation criteria and the rapid response team (RRT). This study adopted a bibliometric method to analyze the research status of RRSs for hospitalized patients.
The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database was searched using the keywords "emergency" and "rapid response system", and the search results were analyzed using CiteSpace software. The retrieved data included the annual distribution of studies and literature citations; the source country of the literature; the distribution of institutions and authors of the literature; the cooperation between countries, institutions, and authors; the distribution of journals that published the literature, and the use of keywords in the literature.
A total of 1,320 research papers were found, with a total of 29,920 citations. The number of papers and their citations increased yearly. The top 5 countries in terms of number of publications were the United States, Australia, China, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The top 5 countries in terms of centrality were the United States, the United Kingdom, Argentina, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland. The research institutions were mainly located in developed countries, such as the United States and Australia. There was relatively little collaboration between researchers. The journals that published the literature mainly specialized in critical care medicine and emergency medicine. The keyword analysis revealed that most studies focused on medical emergency teams (METs) and mortality.
There were few studies related to the emergency RRS for hospitalized patients. The majority of studies were from developed countries and mainly focused on the impact of team building and the effect of the RRS on mortality.
急诊快速反应系统（RRS）可降低住院患者死亡率，其核心是激活标准和快速反应团队（RRT）。本研究采用文献计量学方法分析住院患者RRS的研究现状。
使用关键词“急诊”和“快速反应系统”检索科学引文索引扩展版（SCI-E）数据库，并使用CiteSpace软件分析检索结果。检索数据包括研究的年度分布和文献引用情况；文献的来源国；文献的机构和作者分布；国家、机构和作者之间的合作情况；发表文献的期刊分布，以及文献中关键词的使用情况。
共检索到1320篇研究论文，总被引次数为29920次。论文数量及其被引次数逐年增加。发表论文数量排名前5的国家是美国、澳大利亚、中国、英国和加拿大。中心性排名前5的国家是美国、英国、阿根廷、捷克共和国和瑞士。研究机构主要位于美国和澳大利亚等发达国家。研究人员之间的合作相对较少。发表文献的期刊主要集中在重症医学和急诊医学领域。关键词分析表明，大多数研究集中在医疗急救团队（METs）和死亡率方面。
关于住院患者急诊RRS的研究较少。大多数研究来自发达国家，主要关注团队建设的影响以及RRS对死亡率的影响。
