Methods Relevant literatures collected by PubMed database since December 1, 2019 were retrieved, the key information related to literatures was extracted and analyzed, and the wordcloud2 package of R software was used for word frequency analysis. Results A total number of 194 valid papers were obtained, which published in 81 journals.
