Characterizing the Progress in Traumatic Brain Injury Research in North Africa: A Systematic Review
This systematic review analyzed TBI research publications from North Africa over 22 years (2000-2021), identifying 22 eligible studies from over 168,000 records across major databases. The findings reveal that North Africa accounts for less than 1% of global TBI research output, with low annual productivity and minimal research prior to 2004, indicating substantial research gaps compared to other regions.
