Access to evidence-based care: a systematic review of trauma and surgical literature costs across resource settings.

Background: Evidence-based medicine has become the foundation for surgeons around the world to provide the most effective surgical care. However, the article processing charges (APCs) and subscription fees for surgical journals may be a barrier, particularly for those in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Objectives: The objective of this study was to define the current options for producers and consumers of surgical literature, inclusive of trauma, across resource settings.
