Sustainable surgical financing through philanthropy: An analysis of contributions to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
BACKGROUND: Surgery is an indispensable component of a health system, yet financing its delivery faces significant financing challenges. This study seeks to address the research question: What is the financial contribution of philanthropy to the delivery of surgical care in low and middle-income countries (LMICs)? METHODOLOGY: This study combines a qualitative and a quantitative component to examine the magnitude of philanthropic contributions in…
Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by…
Academic global surgical competencies: A modified Delphi consensus study

A consensus-based approach, with input from a diverse group of experts, is needed to identify essential competencies that will lead to standardization in this field. A task force was set up using snowball sampling to recruit a broad group of content and…
Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2019: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) aims to provide a standardised and comprehensive measurement of these metrics at global, regional, and national leve…
