COVID-19, which occurred at the end of December 2019, has evolved into a global public health threat and affects every aspect of human life. COVID-19's high infectivity and mortality prompted governments and the scientific community to respond quickly to the pandemic outbreak. The application of personal protective equipment (PPE) is of great significance in overcoming the epidemic situation. Since the discovery of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), bibliometric analysis has been widely used in many aspects of the COVID-19 epidemic. Although there are many reported studies about PPE and COVID-19, there is no study on the bibliometric analysis of these studies. The citation can be used as an indicator of the scientific influence of an article in its field. The aim of this study was to track the research trends and latest hotspots of COVID-19 in PPE by means of bibliometrics and visualization maps.
2019 年底发生的 COVID-19 已演变成全球公共卫生威胁，影响着人类生活的方方面面。COVID-19 的高传染性和高死亡率促使各国政府和科学界迅速应对这一疫情。个人防护设备（PPE）的应用对克服疫情具有重要意义。自严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）被发现以来，文献计量分析已广泛应用于 COVID-19 疫情的多个方面。尽管有许多关于 PPE 和 COVID-19 的报道研究，但没有关于这些研究的文献计量分析的研究。引文可以作为文章在其领域的科学影响力的指标。本研究旨在通过文献计量学和可视化图谱跟踪 PPE 中 COVID-19 的研究趋势和最新热点。
