The number of published articles showed a consistent growth trend, with a significant increase during 2019\u20132020. Regarding research output, the United States remains the core contributing country in this field, and Griffith University (Australia) ranks first in institutional output; Clinical Nutrition is the journal with the most published relevant studies, and Thomas DR is the most prolific author. Keyword clustering analysis identified 10 core research themes, including Pressure Injury, enteral nutrition, traumatic brain injuries, nursing home, retrospective study, risk factors, geriatric nutritional risk index, nutritional status, and intensive care unit. Emerging research hotspots are: palliative care, wound healing, and nutritional risk stratification factors in critically ill patients. The current research focus has been significantly concentrated on acute or critically ill patient populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nutritional support in Pressure Injury (PI) management has garnered growing research attention. Future studies should emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration to develop personalized, evidence-based protocols tailored to diverse patient conditions. Translational research is essential to optimize outcomes, especially for high-risk populations, and targeted nutritional strategies remain pivotal for effective PI management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2026.1839197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T04:23:59Z","timestamp":1782966239000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nutritional support for pressure injury: a bibliometric analysis of research trends"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Na","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Shanghai East Hospital","place":["Shanghai, China"]},{"name":"School of Medicine, Tongji University","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Shanghai East Hospital","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erge","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Shanghai East Hospital","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenwen","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Shanghai East Hospital","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueyan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Shanghai East Hospital","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiying","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Runv","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Shanghai East Hospital","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","volume-title":"National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), & Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA), Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Quick Reference Guide","year":"2025"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"103546","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2020.103546","article-title":"Global prevalence and incidence of pressure injuries in hospitalised adult patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"105","author":"Li","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Nurs Stud."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ASW.0000653144.90739.ad","article-title":"The role of nutrition for pressure injury prevention and healing: the 2019 international clinical practice guideline recommendations","volume":"33","author":"Munoz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Adv Skin Wound Care."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"CD003216","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD003216.pub3","article-title":"Nutritional interventions for preventing and treating pressure ulcers","volume":"2","author":"Langer","year":"2024","journal-title":"Cochrane Database System.
