| Sumario: | Objective: To analyze the international scientific production on COVID-19 in older adults. Methods: Bibliometric research was carried out in the ISI Web of Knowledge/Web of Science (WOS) database by exporting these data using the bibliometric analysis software HistCiteTM and VOSviewer software. Results: 218 publication records were identified, with the journal with the largest number of publications being BMC Geriatrics, with 52 publications indexed in the Web of Science. More than 722 institutions in 48 countries or regions reported the results of research on COVID-19 in older adults. The main countries in the literature analyzed were Türkiye (32 records), the United States (31 records), Japan (25 records), England (23 records), Italy (20 records), and China, the country where the first case of COVID-19 emerged, in sixth place, with 16 articles; however, it has the highest number of citations (695). Conclusion: The topic is presented in a broad and diversified manner, without demonstrating the existence of good articulation between studies and authors from around the world. There is a need to build knowledge networks in the area that will enable more studies capable of contributing to improving care for older adults with COVID-19 and other severe acute respiratory infections. |
