Article Synopsis
- Global surgery is becoming an important area of study in global health, but it suffers from authorship inequities, particularly over-representation of authors from high-income countries (HICs) and under-representation of those from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
- A systematic analysis of global surgery publications from 2016 to 2020 revealed that the majority of authors were male (60%), primarily from HICs (51%), and held senior positions (55% were fully qualified clinicians or in leadership roles).
- The study highlights significant gender and seniority disparities, especially with LMIC authors having fewer female authors and that more efforts are needed to improve authorship opportunities for underrepresented groups in global surgery research.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate global COVID-19 infections and deaths among healthcare workers during the early pandemic phase, utilizing systematic reviews and comprehensive searches of literature until May 2020.
- A total of 152,888 infections and 1,413 deaths among healthcare workers were reported, with notable differences in gender and job roles: most infections were in women and nurses, while most deaths were among men and doctors.
- The findings highlighted that while Europe had the highest absolute numbers, the Eastern Mediterranean region had the highest death rate per infection, indicating a need for further investigation into the reasons for these variations, especially in high-risk specialties and lower reported rates in regions like Africa and India.
