Analysis shows disparities in surgical care quality in 204 countries, highlighting low-income nations lag behind.

This research analyzes the healthcare access and quality index for surgically amenable causes globally.
Utilized the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study data for 32 causes of preventable mortality
Constructed composite indices using adjusted Mazziotta Pareto index methodology for surgical and non-surgical causes
Calculated ratios for surgical HAQ over time and compared with non-surgical HAQ indices.
Surgical HAQ varied from 18.00 to 98.25 across countries in 2019
Only 31 countries had higher surgical HAQ than non-surgical HAQ
Child surgical HAQ lagged behind non-surgical HAQ in 61.28% of countries

Zadey et al. (2025) studied this question.
