The VOSviewer 1.6.17 software is used for co occurrence analysis and a co occurrence diagram of the document issuing organization is made. Learn about the time, journal, key words and organizations of relevant documents, and the evolution of research topics.result 372 articles were included. In the past 10 years, the number of relevant articles was on the rise, mainly published in the medical and health science and technology field.
