Abstract
BACKGROUND
Sepsis-associated liver injury (SLI) is a severe and prevalent complication of sepsis.
AIM
To explore the literature on SLI via a bibliometric approach.
METHODS
Reviews and articles correlated with SLI published from January 1, 2000 to October 28, 2023 were searched from the Web of Science Core Collection. Then, the searched data were analyzed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R language.
RESULTS
There were 787 publications involved in this paper, comprising 745 articles and 42 reviews. China, the United States, and Germany are the primary publication sources in this area. Studies related to SLI primarily focused on mechanisms of pathogenesis, as evidenced by analyzing keywords, references, and the counting of original research. These studies mainly involved tumor necrosis factor alpha, inflammation, oxidative stress, and nuclear factor-kappa B.
CONCLUSION
There is significant growth in the research on SLI. Current investigations primarily involve basic experiments that aimed at uncovering pathogenic mechanisms. According to the analyzed literature, the identified pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets serve as the foundation for translating findings from basic research to clinical applications.
Core Tip: NLRP3 inflammasome is the most recent keyword exhibiting the most significant citation bursts. The revelation of pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets serves as the basis for translating from basic research to clinical application. In conclusion, our research will offer a helpful reference for subsequent studies on sepsis-associated liver injury.
