ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative delirium (POD) is an acute postoperative syndrome of the central nervous system that seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Many vital advances have been made in the study of the management of POD. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of research on the prevention and treatment of POD over the past 20 years to consolidate current research focal points and emerging trends in this domain.

Methods

VOSviewer, CiteSpace, Microsoft Excel, Scimago Graphica, and the R tool "bibliometrix" were used to analyze and visualize annual publications, countries, organizations, journals, authors, keywords, and references.
