The United States leads significantly in highly-cited pulmonary and respiratory publications, while China and the United Kingdom also maintain strong positions, with China showing rapid growth. Italy and Canada contribute notably, with modest single-digit growth. Other countries like Germany and Sweden experienced declines, contrasting with India's and Brazil's double-digit growth. Countries like Latvia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria had substantial increases, although from smaller bases. Among lower contributors, significant changes are emerging in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, notably Romania, Bulgaria, and Malta.
Future trends to watch include China's continued momentum, driven by increased research output and growing international collaborations. Rising trends in countries with rapid year-on-year increases, such as Saudi Arabia and Peru, could mark shifting dynamics in global scholarly influence within respiratory medicine.
