A decade of global research activity in pressure ulcer science: a survey of publication patterns (2015–2024)

Global research output on PUs has markedly increased over the past decade, predominantly driven by high-income nations. The US is the leading contributor in absolute terms, whereas countries such as Australia and Turkey exhibit strong relative productivity. National economic status significantly correlated with research contributions in this domain.

Abstract

Global research output on PUs has markedly increased over the past decade, predominantly driven by high-income nations. The US is the leading contributor in absolute terms, whereas countries such as Australia and Turkey exhibit strong relative productivity. National economic status significantly correlated with research contributions in this domain.
