The data reveals a dominant presence of Russian authors in health-related scientific publications, boasting a global share of 99.52%. Other countries with high shares include Estonia, Kazakhstan, and Brazil, all showcasing over 98%. The United States and China, while influential, register slightly lower at around 95% and 94.68%, respectively. European countries like Germany, France, and the UK have shares ranging from 91% to 90%, indicating strong but comparatively lesser dominance. At the lower end of the spectrum, Luxembourg, Peru, and Costa Rica register shares significantly below average, with values as low as 60.55%.

Future trends to watch include the potential increase in collaborative international research efforts, which could diversify the leading author share and promote a more balanced global scientific landscape. Additionally, countries with current lower shares may increase their contributions as they invest more in health research and development.
