What is Transnational Capacity Building Efforts in Global Neurosurgery: A Review and Analysis of Their Impact and Determinants of Success about?

Background Neurosurgical capacity building efforts attempt to address the shortage of neurosurgeons and lack of neurosurgical capacity in low- and middle-income countries. This review sought to characterize neurosurgical capacity building efforts in low- and middle-income countries and the challenges they face, and identify factors that predict higher engagement, better training, and performance of high-impact activities. Methods A scoping review using PubMed and Embase databases was performed and relevant articles were identified. Programs were classified into 6 categories and the activities they performed were classified as having a high-, medium-, or mild impact on capacity. Programs were also classified using the Olivieri engagement and training criteria. Results Fifty-seven articles representing 42 unique efforts were included. The most important determinant of impact was a program's design and intent. Furthermore, 91% of training and twinning programs received high (class 2 or 3) engagement classifications compared to 17% of mission trips and training camps (P < 0.001); 91% of training and twinning programs received high training classifications compared to 64% of mission tri
