Since the outbreak of COVID-19, countries around the world have faced huge economic and social burdens. SARS-COV-2 may exist in nature for a long time due to the diversity of its different variants. Pregnant women and newborns as vulnerable groups will suffer serious health threats. Bibliometrics as a method of summarizing publications can be used to extract important achievements and hot topics in this field. We search the target publications from the Web of Science Core collection database, and then use Microsoft Office Excel, CiteSpace, R, Scimago, and VOSviewer for visual analysis. Finally, we included 1709 publications from 2998 institutions in 104 countries. The number of publications has exploded since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. Among them, the USA, China, Britain, and Italy have higher quantity and quality. We identified important journals, authors, keywords, and references in this field. Anxiety, stress, risk of pregnancy complications, and vaccine safety and acceptance have received extensive attention from scholars during the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be urgent issues to be addressed in the future. Most of the current studies fall into the category of case reports and clinical data analysis. COVID-19 has been linked to serious pregnancy complications and mental illness, and vaccination during pregnancy is recommended to protect both mother and fetus. Further large-scale cohort studies and discovery of molecular mechanisms are needed in this field.
自 COVID-19 爆发以来，世界各国都面临着巨大的经济和社会负担。由于其不同变体的多样性，SARS-COV-2 可能在自然界中存在很长时间。孕妇和新生儿作为弱势群体将遭受严重的健康威胁。文献计量学作为一种总结出版物的方法，可以用来提取该领域的重要成果和热点话题。我们从 Web of Science Core collection 数据库中搜索目标出版物，然后使用 Microsoft Office Excel、CiteSpace、R、Scimago 和 VOSviewer 进行可视化分析。最后，我们从 104 个国家的 2998 个机构中纳入了 1709 篇出版物。自 2019 年 COVID-19 大流行以来，出版物数量呈爆炸式增长。其中，美国、中国、英国和意大利的数量和质量更高。我们确定了该领域的重要期刊、作者、关键词和参考文献。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，学者们广泛关注焦虑、压力、妊娠并发症风险以及疫苗的安全性和可接受性，这些问题将继续成为未来急需解决的问题。目前的大多数研究都属于病例报告和临床数据分析类别。COVID-19 与严重的妊娠并发症和精神疾病有关，建议在妊娠期间接种疫苗，以保护母亲和胎儿。该领域需要进一步开展大规模的队列研究和发现分子机制。
