背景：骨科是女性住院医师和教员比例最低的临床学科。儿童骨科的女性比例高于其他骨科专科。本研究的目的是研究《儿科骨科杂志》（JPO）的文献计量学趋势，并特别关注性别。方法：对2015年、2005年、1995年、1985年、1981年的文献进行计量分析。第一作者和通讯作者姓名；通讯作者职位；原产国；列出了机构、国家、作者、印刷页数和参考文献的数量。通过“婴儿姓名猜测”（www.gpeters.com/names/baby-names.php）确定第一作者和通讯作者的性别。A P < 0.05。结果：共发表文献746篇；68.7%来自北美。作者、通讯作者职位、合作机构、国家和参考文献的平均数量增加，而印刷页数减少。亚洲的作者人数最多（4.4人），澳大利亚/新西兰最少（3.4人）。98.3%的第一作者和98.5%的通讯作者确定了性别。随着时间的推移，女性第一作者的数量显著增加（5.9%至25.6%，P< 10(-6)），尤其是在欧洲和北美。随着时间的推移，女性通讯作者的数量显著增加（5.8% ~ 17.6%，P=0.000009）。随着时间的推移，女性第一作者和通讯作者的比例呈显著上升趋势（P=0.0005），而男性第一作者和通讯作者的比例呈相反趋势（P< 10(-6)）。结论：在本研究中，我们注意到《Journal of Pediatric orthopopatics》的女性第一作者和通讯作者的数量在稳步增加。这将导致更多的女性儿科骨科医生担任学术教职。
Background: Orthopaedics is the clinical discipline with the lowest percentage of female residents and faculty. Pediatric orthopaedics has a higher percentage of women than other orthopaedic subspecialties. It was the purpose of this study to examine bibliometric trends in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics (JPO) with a specific focus on sex.Methods: A bibliometeric analysis for the years 2015, 2005, 1995, 1985, 1981 was performed. The names of first and corresponding authors; corresponding author position; country of origin; number of institutions, countries, authors, printed pages, and references was tabulated. Author sex was identified for the first and corresponding authors using the "Baby Name Guesser" (www.gpeters.com/names/baby-names.php). A P < 0.05 was considered significant.Results: There were 746 publications; 68.7% were from North America. The average number of authors, corresponding author position, collaborating institutions, countries, and number of references increased, whereas the number of printed pages decreased. Asia had the greatest number of authors (4.4), with Australia/New Zealand the fewest (3.4). Sex was determined for 98.3% of the first authors and 98.5% of the corresponding authors. There was a significant increase in the number of female first authors over time (5.9% to 25.6%, P< 10(-6)), especially in Europe and North America. There were significant increase in the number of female corresponding authors over time (5.8% to 17.6%, P=0.000009). There was a significant trend to have a greater percentage of both female first and corresponding authors over time (P=0.0005) with a reverse trend for both male first and corresponding authors (P< 10(-6)).Conclusions: In this study, we noted that the number of female first and corresponding authors in Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics has been steadily increasing. This should result in more female pediatric orthopaedic surgeons in academic faculty positions.
