Low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) face the greatest burden of neurotrauma
►► First qualitative study to explore the challenges of neurosurgeons conducting and disseminating clinical research in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs)
If journal publication is a reliable indicator of the quality and quantity of research, LMICs are severely under- represented in an international context.[5]
Summary
►► First qualitative study to explore the challenges of neurosurgeons conducting and disseminating clinical research in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). In a further bibliometric study, Africa and Southeast Asia were found to be responsible for less than 3% of publication productivity.[7] If journal publication is a reliable indicator of the quality and quantity of research, LMICs are severely under- represented in an international context.[5] In. addition, Kolias et al[3] asserts that multicentre trials are typically conducted in high-income countries, making generalisability of these studies to environments with different treatment practices problematic. Aim and objectives The aim of this study is to understand neurosurgeons’ experiences of, aspirations for and ability to conduct and disseminate clinical research in LMICs
