Abstract

Despite the globalization of health information, collaborations between high-income countries (HICs) and low/middle-income countries (LMICs), while present, could still increase. This study builds on previous research highlighting LMIC underrepresentation in neurosurgery literature. We conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database to investigate collaborative neurosurgical research between HIC institutions and those in low-income country (LIC)/LMICs. Articles published between 2018 and 2020 were examined. Articles were categorized into 3 groups: guidelines, conferences, and consensus statements; articles related to training and collaborations; and other articles. We categorized articles and authors by country, role, and specific subtopic. We included 238 reports from 34 neurosurgical journals for analysis. Geographic distribution indicated that India led LIC/LMIC contributions (25.21%). Among HICs, the United States had the highest contribution (47.76%). In collaborative studies, Uganda, Cameroon, Tanzania, Indonesia, and Nigeria made significant contributions. LICs and LMICs accounted for 446 authors, while HICs contributed with 592. India has presented the highest number of authors in significant positions. In HICs, significant positions are recognized in USA articles. When scoring authors' position in collaborative papers, still HICs had a clear prevalence. The highest number of collaborations between HICs and LICs/LMICs has been observed in articles related to training and collaborations. Kenya matched India's contributions in training and collaborations. Global guidelines and consensus papers can enhance patient care, but LMICs' involvement remains limited. Further attention to training and collaboration initiatives is needed. This study emphasizes the importance of promoting collaboration and training between countries with varying resources to advance neurosurgical care globally.

高收入国家与中低收入国家在神经外科研究和出版物方面的合作计划：文献计量分析

尽管健康信息已经全球化，但高收入国家（HICs）与中低收入国家（LMICs）之间的合作仍有待加强。本研究以之前的研究为基础，强调了中低收入国家在神经外科文献中代表性不足的问题。我们使用 Scopus 数据库进行了全面的文献计量分析，以调查高收入国家机构与低收入国家 (LIC)/LMICs 机构之间的合作神经外科研究。研究对象为 2018 年至 2020 年间发表的文章。文章分为三类：指南、会议和共识声明；与培训和合作相关的文章；其他文章。我们按照国家、角色和特定子课题对文章和作者进行了分类。我们纳入了来自 34 种神经外科期刊的 238 篇报告进行分析。地理分布显示，印度在低收入国家/低度低收入国家中的贡献率最高（25.21%）。在高收入国家中，美国的贡献率最高（47.76%）。在合作研究中，乌干达、喀麦隆、坦桑尼亚、印度尼西亚和尼日利亚做出了重大贡献。低收入和中等收入国家有 446 位作者，而高收入国家有 592 位。印度的重要职位作者人数最多。在高收入国家中，重要职位在美国的文章中得到认可。在对作者在合作论文中的地位进行评分时，高收入国家仍占据明显优势。在与培训和合作相关的文章中，中等收入国家与低收入国家/低成本中等收入国家之间的合作数量最多。肯尼亚在培训与合作方面的贡献与印度不相上下。全球指南和共识文件可以加强对患者的护理，但低收入国家的参与仍然有限。需要进一步关注培训与合作倡议。这项研究强调了促进资源不同的国家之间的合作与培训对推动全球神经外科护理发展的重要性。
