RESUMEN

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A bibliometric analysis covering only the production of original studies or considering world production until 2022 has yet to be conducted. The creation and advancement of vaccines have also influenced research priorities, demonstrating the need for a new approach to this subject. OBJECTIVES: To analyze worldwide scientific production related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the aged and to describe what has already been produced. DESIGN AND SETTING: Bibliometric analysis with a quantitative approach. METHOD: The search terms "COVID-19," "SARS-CoV-2," "Aged," and "Elderly" were used to retrieve articles from the Web of Science database. A total of 684 articles were included in the analysis. Data were imported into RStudio Desktop Software and linked to R Software. The Bibliometrix R package and VOSviewer software were used for analysis. RESULTS: Most articles were published in 2020. These were produced by 4,937 authors and published in 379 journals. The keyword most used by the authors was "COVID-19." Publications from 77 countries were obtained. China had the highest article production ranking, and Spain collaborated the most. The articles addressed the implications of the pandemic on the aged, the relationship between vaccination in the aged, and the implications for the disease itself. CONCLUSION: Further research should be conducted, mainly concerning vaccines and vaccination of the aged, owing to the need for and importance of immunization in this risk group, including assessing the long-term effects of vaccines.

RESUMEN

This bibliometric analysis aims to analyze the global scientific production of COVID-19 and vaccines. First, a search for scientific articles was performed using the advanced query in the Web of Science™ database, more precisely in its core collection, on 18 February 2023. Data from 7754 articles were analyzed using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny application. The evaluated articles were published mainly in 2022 (60%). The scientific journals that published the most about COVID-19 and vaccines were "Vaccines", "Vaccine" and "Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics". The University of Oxford was the most productive institution, with the authors of the articles mainly originating from the United States, China and the United Kingdom. The United States, despite having carried out the most significant number of collaborations, published mainly with local researchers. The 15 most cited articles and the KeyWords Plus™ evidenced the focus of the published articles on the safety and efficacy of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as on the evaluation of vaccine acceptance, more specifically on vaccine hesitancy. Research funding came primarily from US government agencies.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: esta revisão buscou informar, por meio da literatura, pesquisas que abordassem a relação entre COVID-19 e os animais domésticos. Métodos: foram selecionados 29 trabalhos nas diferentes bases de dados, datados de 2003 a 2020, e os descritores utilizados foram: "coronavirus animals", "SARS-Cov-2 animals", "SARS-Cov-2 canine", "SARS-Cov-2 feline". Resultados: poucos trabalhos já foram realizados em animais com o objetivo de comprovar se eles podem se infectar com SARS-Cov-2 e transmitir a doença para outros animais e humanos. Os animais que já foram testados positivos com a COVID-19 não apresentaram sinais clínicos da doença, com exceção de alguns felinos, e, possivelmente, contaminaram-se por meio de humanos infectados. Conclusão: No momento, há alguns questionamentos sobre a possibilidade de transmissão humano-animal, não havendo, ainda, nenhuma informação científica comprovada de que cães e gatos sejam importantes transmissores na cadeia epidemiológica da COVID-19, sendo necessários mais estudos e o monitoramento contínuo de animais de estimação.


Objective: This review sought to inform, through the literature, research that addressed the relationship between COVID-19 and domestic animals. Methods: Twenty-nine works were selected in the different databases, dating from 2003 to 2020 and the descriptors used were: "coronavirus animals", "SARS-Cov-2 animals", "SARS-Cov-2 canine", "SARS-Cov-2 feline". Results: Few studies have been carried out on animals with the aim of proving whether they can become infected with SARS-Cov-2 and transmit the disease to other animals and humans. The animals that have already been tested positive with COVID-19 did not show clinical signs of the disease, except for a few felines, and possibly contaminated by infected humans. Conclusion: At the moment, there are some questions about the possibility of human-animal transmission, and there is still no proven scientific information that dogs and cats are important transmitters in the epidemiological chain of COVID-19, and further studies and ongoing monitoring of pets are required.

Para aumentar la durabilidad de las mascarillas quirúrgicas, se sugiere su utilización con papel absorbente para absorber la humedad. Las mascarillas de tela son recomendables, siempre y cuando se laven adecuadamente para reutilización. Conclusión: aunque sean necesarios estudios acerca del reaprovechamiento de los barbijos, con la expansión del COVID-19 y la escasez mundial de este producto, es imprescindible que, tanto los profesionales de la salud como la población en general, se mantengan actualizados sobre sus recomendaciones de uso.


OBJECTIVE: To discuss the correct use, indications for use, effectiveness and handling of the different types of mask, as well as suggest, based on scientific evidence and recommendations from health agencies, effective ways to increase the useful life of this product. METHOD: Narrative literature review using articles from the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases, and recommendations from health agencies conducted in April 2020.Results: Protective respiratory devices (particulate respirators) can be reused if it is clean, dry and their layers and shape are intact. To increase the durability of surgical masks, the use of paper towels to absorb moisture is suggested. Cloth masks are recommended, as long as they are washed properly for reuse. CONCLUSION: Despite the scarce number of studies on the reuse of masks, given the expansion of COVID-19 and the worldwide shortage of this equipment, health professionals and the population must be constantly updated on the recommendations for use of these protective devices.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the colonisation rate of Staphylococcus aureus in the oropharynx and the insertion site of central venous catheters in intensive care unit patients. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Brazilian intensive care unit. MEASUREMENTS: Samples were collected from October to December 2015 from the oropharyngeal cavity and central venous catheter insertion site of 110 patients. Samples that presented growth of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated and their sensitivity profiles were tested for several antimicrobials. FINDINGS: The study participants (110) were mostly females older than 60 years (53.6%). The mean length of hospitalisation was 15.5 days (±31.3). A total of 188 biological samples were collected: 110 collected from the oropharynx and 78 from the central venous catheter insertion site. A 35% (n = 38/110) S. aureus colonisation rate of the patients was observed in at least one collection site. In the oropharynx alone, a 31% rate (n = 34/110) was found, and a 12.8% rate (n = 10/78) at central venous catheter insertion sites only. MRSA colonisation in the oropharynx or at the central venous catheter occurred in 29 (26.4%) patients and vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus was present in 24 (22.4%) of the patients studied. Patients hospitalised for seven days or more were 4.8 times more likely to be colonised compared to patients hospitalised less than seven days (95% CI = 1.2-28.5). CONCLUSION: The oropharynx and the central venous catheter are important reservoirs of this bacterium that in critical conditions may become pathogenic. The data showed a high degree of resistance of the bacterial populations isolated to different drugs, which may hinder the control of these organisms.
