Despite the development of national systems such as the New Zealand National Trauma Network (NTN) and Trauma Registry (NZTR), geographical disparities and inequities in access to trauma care persist. This review aims to better understand the quantity and quality of trauma surgery research in New Zealand, as it remains essential to guide evidence\u2010based improvements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A bibliometric analysis of trauma surgery research from 2000 to 2025 was conducted using PubMed and local databases. Studies were included if authored by New Zealand\u2010affiliated researchers and utilized New Zealand data. Articles were classified by study type, design, institutional origin, and international collaboration. Descriptive statistics, linear regression, and univariate analyses were used to identify trends.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      From 3103 initial articles, 143 met the inclusion criteria. Clinical studies dominated (69.9%), followed by epidemiological and systematic reviews. Publication volume increased significantly after 2012 from 2.42\u2009\u00b1\u20091.78 in 2000\u201312 to 8.77\u2009\u00b1\u20095.70 in 2013\u201325 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.0018), aligning with the development of the NTN. Research output was concentrated in tertiary major trauma centers, although contributions from regional centers increased in later years.
