Objetivo Describir y analizar la actividad científica sobre la COVID-19 en Latinoamérica.
Materiales y Métodos Mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura en PubMed, LILACS y los repositorios preimpresos BioRxiv y medRxiv, se recuperaron todos los documentos disponibles sobre la COVID-19 en Latinoamérica desde el primero de enero hasta el 24 de abril de 2020, para su análisis bibliométrico.
Resultados Un total de 29 publicaciones fueron incluidas en el análisis. El país con más producción científica fue Brasil (10/29; 34,4%), seguido de Colombia (6/29; 20,6%) y México (6/29; 20,6%). La universidad con más artículos fue la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira, Colombia (5/29; 17,24%). El 41,3% de las publicaciones fueron documentos preimpresos. La mayoría de los estudios excluidos fueron comentarios editoriales u opiniones de expertos. Tres de cada cuatro investigaciones tenían un enfoque epidemiológico (21/29; 72,4%); limitados estudios sobre el diagnóstico (5/29; 17,2%), la fisiopatogenia (2/29; 2,8%) y los aspectos terapéuticos (1/29; 3,4%) fueron encontrados.
Conclusión Pese al crecimiento exponencial de publicaciones en el mundo, existe una limitada cantidad de información sobre el comportamiento de esta infección en Latinoamérica. Se requiere la publicación de estudios con alta calidad metodológica, que aporten conocimiento sobre el impacto de la pandemia en la región.
Objective Describe and analyze scientific activity on COVID-19 in Latin America.
Materials and Methods Through a systematic review of the literature in PubMed, LILACS, and the preprinted repositories BioRxiv and medRxiv, all available documents on COVID-19 in Latin America from January 1 to April 24, 2020, were retrieved for review and bibliometric analysis.
Results A total of 29 publications were included in the analysis. The country with the most scientific production was Brazil (10/29; 34,4%) followed by Colombia (6/29; 20,6%) and Mexico (6/29; 20,6%). The university with the most articles was the Technological University of Pereira, Colombia (5/29; 17,2%). 41,3% of the publications were preprinted documents. Most of the excluded studies were editorial comments or expert opinions. Three out of four investigations had an epidemiological focus (21/29; 72,4%); Limited studies on diagnosis (5/29; 17,24%), pathophysiology (2/29, 2,8%) and therapeutic.
Conclusion Despite the exponential growth of publications in the world, there is a limited amount of information on the behavior of this infection in Latin America. The publication of studies with high methodological quality is required, which provide knowledge of the impact of the pandemic in the region.
