Mapping Global Research Landscape ON THE Impact OF Sars Corona Virus ON Gut Health: A Bibliometric Analysis Study

Abstract

Background: The gastrointestinal well-being of an individual is influenced by various external factors apart from dietary choices. These factors include lifestyle habits, medication usage (such as antibiotics), and microbial infections that primarily impact the host health.

Method: A search was conducted on the Web of Sciences, Scopus and PubMed database to retrieve all articles related to Gut Health and COVID-19. The search covered the time period from January 1, 2020 to December 2023.

Results: Notably United states of America have published a greater number of documents (662) published compared to other countries. Italy and Korea have least contribution towards publishing docu[1]ments on Gut Health and Covid (19). The article authored by Chilkoti et al. stood out as the top-ranked publication with the highest number of NPL count 1255. The author's objective was to examine the alterations in gut microbiota in patients with COVID19 followed by Fan Christina et al al with Average cited NPL count = 730

Conclusion: To summarize, this study represents an initial bibliometric analysis conducted to assess the impact of COVID-19 on gut health. Among the countries actively contributing to gut health and COVID-19 research, the US ranks first. When it comes to journals in this field, Journal of Scientific reports have shown the highest productivity. The findings of this bibliometric analysis highlight that the most significant research topics revolve around Gastrointestinal symptoms associated with COVID-19: the impact on the gut microbiome. The emergence of these important topics related to gut health and COVID-19 can help researchers identify new research. areas in this domain.
