In 2023, the United States led globally with a commanding share of top-cited publications in critical and intensive care medicine, although it experienced a slight decline of 2.8% year-on-year. France, China, and Italy followed, with China showing remarkable growth of 17.85%, indicative of its expanding research capabilities. Sweden displayed significant year-on-year growth of 40.28%, while India and Singapore both made notable advances with increases of 25.87% and 21.19% respectively.
Future trends to watch include China's continued ascendancy, driven by robust investments in scientific research, and emerging contributions from countries like Colombia and Greece, which have seen triple-digit and double-digit growths respectively. As global collaborations strengthen, expect more diversified contributions from traditionally less dominant countries.
