Introduction Global surgery is a growing movement worldwide, but its expansion has not been quantified. Google Search is the most popular search engine worldwide, and Google Trends analyzes its queries to determine popularity trends. The investigators used Google Trends to analyze the regional and temporal popularity of global surgery (GS). Furthermore, the investigators compared GS with global health (GH) to understand if the two were correlated. Methods The investigators searched the terms "global surgery" and "global health" on Google Trends (Google Inc., CA, USA) from January 2004 to May 2021. The investigators identified time trends and compared the two search terms using SPSS v26 (IBM, WA, USA) to run summary descriptive analyses and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.
