- 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).
