Cleft Lip and Palate Research in Low- and Middle income Countries: A Scientometric Analysis

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) comprise over 90% of the world’s congenital anomalies and cause significant disability worldwide, while disproportionally burdening low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Research can help inform strategies that reduce disparities in accessing CLP care. We performed a scientometric analysis of CLP research in LMICs to identify influential contributors and themes.
