“…One example of this innovative LMIC‐LMIC partnership modality includes partners working with the Seva Foundation through the Global Sight Initiative Mentee Program, such as the partnership between Clinica Oftalmológica Divino Niño Jesús in Peru and Visualiza Clínica Médica Oftalmológica in Guatemala. HIC‐based actors can provide financial support for online platforms, resource distribution and partnership documentation for LMIC‐LMIC partnerships; such LMIC‐directed partnership models can yield more equitable and sustainable partnerships in global ophthalmology 30 …”

Background Transnational ophthalmic partnerships exist between high‐income countries (HICs) and low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) in varying capacities. We analyzed partnership stakeholders to better understand and address disparities in ophthalmic surgical care. Methods An international Web search was conducted to identify surgeons, foundations or organisations participating in ophthalmic delivery and/or capacity building from 2010 to 2019. Partnerships were defined through clinical activities, education and training and/or research support. Descriptive data on current ophthalmic partnerships were collected from published reports, literature reviews and information on stakeholder webpages. Partnerships were classified by the extent of engagement and training: grade I ‘engagement’ represented documented partnerships of at least 1 year and grade I ‘training’ limited or poorly defined skills transfer programmes, while grade III ‘engagement’ represented partnerships with well‐documented fiscal investment and/or research productivity and grade III ‘training’ established training programmes. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and geospatially depicted on Tableau (Mountain View, CA) and ArcMap software (Redlands, CA). Results In total, 209 unique HIC‐LMIC partnerships encompassing 92 unique countries were described. The most common HIC partners were from North America (123; 59%), followed by Europe (75; 36%). The most common LMIC partners were from Africa (102; 49%), followed by Asia‐Pacific (54; 26%) and Latin America (44; 21%). Additionally, partnerships most frequently provided services in cataract (48%), glaucoma (25%) and diabetic retinopathy (25%). The most common ‘engagement’ classifications were grade I (36%) or II (40%); the most common ‘training’ classifications were grade I (61%) or II (23%). Conclusion Transnational ophthalmic partnerships exist with varying degrees of both engagement and training. Partnerships are stronger in research collaboration and direct services, and weaker in LMIC‐directed training programmes.

“…6 Similar efforts have been undertaken in otolaryngology, ophthalmology, radiation oncology, and interventional radiology. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The care for patients with skull base pathologies requires multi-disciplinary care by physicians in neurosurgery, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, endocrinology, oral maxillo-facial surgery, plastic surgery, rehabilitation specialists, and neuroradiology. 14 Global efforts in skull base surgery, including collaboration across borders, are hopefully following these patterns, but given the number of specialties involved, these efforts are more difficult to track.…”

Objective: The North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) multidisciplinary annual conference hosts skull base researchers from across the globe. We hypothesized that the work presented at the NASBS annual conference would reveal diverse authorship teams in terms of specialty and geography. Methods: In this retrospective review, abstracts presented at the NASBS annual meeting and subsequently published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B: Skull Base between 01/01/2011 and 12/31/2020 were collected. Variables extracted included year, type of presentation, and author names and affiliations. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS V23.0 with p-values < 0.05 considered significant. Geographic heat maps were created to assess author distribution, and a network analysis was performed to display authorship collaboration between geographic regions. <b>Results:</b> Of 3,312 published abstracts, 731 (22.1%) had an author with an affiliation outside of the United States. Fifty-seven distinct countries were represented. 324 abstracts (9.8%) had authorship teams representing at least 2 different countries. The top five USA states by abstract representation were Pennsylvania, California, New York, Ohio, and Minnesota. A majority of authors reported neurosurgery affiliations (56.7% first authors, 53.2% last authors), closely followed by otolaryngology (39.1% first authors, 41.5% last authors). No solo authors and very few (3.3%) of the first authors reported a departmental affiliation outside of otolaryngology or neurosurgery. <b>Conclusions:</b> Authors from many countries disseminate their work through poster and oral presentations at the NASBS annual meeting. 10% of abstracts were the product of international collaboration. Most authors were affiliated with a neurosurgery or otolaryngology department.
