Abstract | Objective: Neurosurgical guidelines have resulted in improved clinical outcomes and more optimized care for many complex neurosurgical pathologies. As momentum in global neurosurgical efforts has grown, there is little understanding about the application of these guidelines in low- and middle-income countries. Methods: A 29-question survey was developed to assess the application of specific recommendations from neurosurgical brain and spinal cord injury guidelines. Surveys were distributed to an international cohort of neurosurgeons and neurotrauma stakeholders. Results: A total of 82 of 222 (36.9%) neurotrauma providers responded to the survey. The majority of respondents practiced in low- and middle-income countries settings (49/82, 59.8%). There was a significantly greater mean traumatic brain injury volume in low-income countries (56% ± 13.5) and middle-income countries (46.5% ± 21.3) compared with high-income countries (27.9% ± 13.2), Conclusions: While some disparities in guideline implementation are inevitably related to the availability of clinical resources, other differences could be more quickly improved with accessibility of current evidence-based guidelines and development of local data. |
