Research on infectious diseases and procalcitonin (PCT) is growing. Current studies focus on sepsis and biomarkers for disease monitoring, highlighting PCT's role.
Area of Science:
- Medical research
- Infectious disease epidemiology
- Biomarker analysis
Background:
- Infectious diseases pose a significant global health threat.
- Procalcitonin (PCT) is a key biomarker for assessing bacterial infection severity.
- PCT can aid in diagnosing infections secondary to non-bacterial causes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the current landscape of infectious disease research.
- To identify emerging trends and key areas for future investigation.
- To analyze the role of procalcitonin in infectious disease research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from 1900-2021.
- Data sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (SCI-E database).
- Utilized Citespace software for document analysis.
Main Results:
- 996 research documents identified, with a notable increase in 2020.
- Leading research contributors include the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
- Key research areas identified are sepsis and disease monitoring biomarkers.
Conclusions:
- There is a rising trend in research concerning infectious diseases and procalcitonin.
- Sepsis and the use of biomarkers for disease monitoring are dominant research themes.
