There strong correlation numbers (r 0.811, P < 0.001).Our present study analyzed types over 57 years tends make more contributions medical field field. meantime, these studies highlight importance treatment patients. recognition historical status development trend can promote inter-agency cooperation, guide future research, ultimately provide basis clinical practice guidelines.
