Abstract:
COVID19 is a pandemic caused by SARS COV2. Comorbidities play a significant role in the survival of COVID patients. Thus this bibliometric analysis the association of comorbidities with COVID19 and conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in research on the association of comorbidities with COVID. All open access articles related to COVID vaccines, published in 2020, from “Scopus” were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps. This article had set the objective to consolidate the literature regarding comorbidities and COVID19 and also to find out the trends related to research association of comorbidities with COVID. The active authors are from China and the most active author is Zhang Y with seventeen articles and the highest collaboration. However, the most productive author is Cai Y with the highest citation per article. The highly networked country in the research of comorbidities associated with COVID19 is the USA and its highly cited country is China. However, the country with a higher average citation is Switzerland. The highly productive journal is JAMA Internal Medicine with the highest citation and highest average citation per documents. The highly linked research organization is the Department Of Allergology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, but the most productive research organization is the Cardiovascular Research Institute, Wuhan University, Wuhan with t he highest number of total citations and highest average citation per articles.

1. Introduction Coronavirus disease19 (COVID19) is a pandemic and caused by SARS-COV-2.COVID19 was first reported in Wuhan, China, and its spread across the world. COVID19 had reported with a comparatively lower mortality rate but is capable of super spreading and social spreading in a short period. Only Social distancing and selfhygiene can avoid this pandemic at this stage. COVID19 is disastrous with people having comorbidities (Heymann et al., 2020)(Kobayashi et al., 2020). The major comorbidities that can have an adverse impact on COVID patients are cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes Mellitus, obesity, and pneumonia. Mortality rates are high among COVID patients with comorbidities. A higher degree of research is needed to control the pandemic. Till now the treatments involve drug repurposing and no effective vaccine. Remdesivir, Favipiravir,Hydrochloroquine, and Lopinavir/Ritonavir have commonly used drugs for treating COVID19 patients across the world. This article is arranged in five sections. The first section is the introduction, followed by the discussion of the methodology by which the research was conducted. The third section deals with results and discussion. The fourth section deals with the conclusion.
