“…The initiation of PCCM fellowship training programs by the Intensive Care Chapter of IAP have not only promoted clinical training in pediatric critical care but also fueled research enthusiasm among young and budding pediatric intensivists in India ( 31 ). A formal 3-year post-doctoral training program in PCCM, started by the PGIMER in Chandigarh, India and subsequently adopted by two other premier institutes in India has paved the pathway for protected research time and formal research training of PICU fellows.…”

Over last 2 decades, there has been a significant progress made in the field of pediatric critical care in India. There has been complementary and parallel growth in the pediatric critical care services in India and the number of pediatric critical care providers who are either formally trained in India or who have returned to India after their formal training abroad. The pediatric critical care community in India has recognized obvious differences in profiles of critical illnesses and patients between Indian subcontinent and the West. Therefore there is a growing interest in generating scientific evidence through local research which would be applicable to critically ill children in Indian subcontinent. This article focuses on advances in pediatric critical care research in India and its future directions.

“…The fellowship offers different training options including a 2-year master's program or a 1 year post graduate diploma—both aimed at allowing practicing physicians to develop skills specific to management and advancement of care for critically ill children. A program in India similarly offers a 1 or 2 year clinically focused training option, in addition to more formal 3 year training ( 48 ). Additionally, there are increasing established nurse led academic initiatives with post graduate nursing diplomas in child nursing, critical care nursing, and a Master of Nursing in child nursing—again all aimed at decreasing under 5 mortality through improved critical care for children ( 49 ).…”

Pediatric critical care has continued to advance since our last article, “Pediatric Critical Care in Resource-Limited Settings—Overview and Lessons Learned” was written just 3 years ago. In that article, we reviewed the history, current state, and gaps in level of care between low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs). In this article, we have highlighted recent advancements in pediatric critical care in LMICs in the areas of research, training and education, and technology. We acknowledge how the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to increasing the speed of some developments. We discuss the advancements, some lessons learned, as well as the ongoing gaps that need to be addressed in the coming decade. Continued understanding of the importance of equitable sustainable partnerships in the bidirectional exchange of knowledge and collaboration in all advancement efforts (research, technology, etc.) remains essential to guide all of us to new frontiers in pediatric critical care.

“…8 In India, for example, establishing formal training programmes and national critical care medicine (CCM) societies has led to tremendous growth accompanied by a surge in publications in the field. 9,10 This is reflected in Bhalala et al 's paper documenting an increase from 19 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and 2 multicentre studies nationwide in 1990 to 198 RCTs and 92 multicentre studies in 2016. 11 Bhalala et al further acknowledged "obvious differences in profiles of critical illnesses and patients between the Indian subcontinent and the West", thereby highlighting the importance of regional data.…”

Objective: To analyse the characteristics of research published from Pakistan on paediatric critical care medicine. Method: The exploratory study was conducted at the Aga Khan University, Karachi from July 2021 to March 2022, and comprised a comprehensive search on MedLine, Google Scholar and PakMediNet databases for literature from Pakistan pertaining to paediatric critical care medicine published between January 2010 and December 2021. The search was done using appropriate key words. Conference abstracts and papers authored by paediatric intensivists with unrelated topics were excluded. Data was extracted on a structured spreadsheet, and was subjected to bibliometric analysis. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 7,514 studies identified, 146(1.94%) were analysed. These were published in 51 journals with a frequency of 13.3 per year. There were 107(73.3%) original articles, 96(65.8%) were published in PubMed-indexed journals, and 35(24%) were published in locally indexed journals. Further, 100(69.4%) papers were published from 5 paediatric intensive care units in Karachi, and 81(56%) were contributed by a single private-sector hospital. The total citation count was 1072, with 2(1.4%) papers receiving >50 citations. There was a linear trend with some skewing and an annual growth rate of >15%. Conclusion: Publications from Pakistan related to paediatric critical care medicine showed positive linear growth. There was a paucity of multicentre studies, randomised controlled trials, and high-impact publications. Key Words: Bibliometric analysis, Paediatric critical care medicine, Publications, Pakistan, Research.
