背景资料。早期从事心胸(CT)外科研究可能有助于吸引受训者从事学术CT手术，但这种早期接触是否会提高职业生涯的学术成就尚不清楚。建立了2018年美国经认证的学术CT外科培训项目的所有CT外科教员的数据库。不包括国际医学毕业生，2004年之前在美国开始普通外科住院医师工作并且在传统CT奖学金培训之前至少发表1篇手稿的外科医生被纳入(n=472)。每个外科医生的教育背景、工作经历和研究出版物都是从公开的在线来源记录下来的。在团契培训之前，370名外科医生(78.4%)共同撰写了一篇CT手术手稿，102名(21.6%)只发表了与CT手术无关的主题。不管外科医生是否接受专门的研究培训，那些在团契培训前与人合著CT外科手稿的人作为主治医生每年发表更多的论文(P<；.01)，导致在相对较长的职业生涯中发表更多的论文(P<；.01)和更高的H指数(P<；.01)。在研究员培训前没有发表CT外科研究的CT外科医生中，那些在研究员培训期间与人合著CT外科手稿的人也显示出未来学术生产力的提高。与那些在培训期间只发表与CT手术无关的主题的人相比，在团契培训之前发表CT手术研究的学术CT外科医生最终表现出更多产和更有影响力的研究概况。应充分支持在受训人员中增加早期参与CT外科研究的努力。(C)2021年，由胸外科医生学会主办
Background. Early engagement in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery research may help attract trainees to academic CT surgery, but whether this early exposure boosts career-long academic achievement remains unknown.Methods. A database of all CT surgery faculty at accredited, academic CT surgery training programs in the United States during the year 2018 was established. Excluding international medical graduates, surgeons who started general surgery residency in the United States before 2004 and who published at least 1 manuscript before traditional CT fellowship training were included (n = 472). Each surgeon's educational background, work history, and research publications were recorded from publicly available online sources.Results. Before fellowship training, 370 surgeons (78.4%) coauthored a CT surgery manuscript, and 102 (21.6%) published only on subjects unrelated to CT surgery. Regardless of whether surgeons pursued dedicated research training or not, those who coauthored a CT surgery manuscript before fellowship training published more papers per year as an attending (P < .01), resulting in more total publications (P < .01) and a higher H-index (P < .01) over comparably long careers. Among CT surgeons who did not publish CT surgery research before fellowship training, those who coauthored a CT surgery manuscript during fellowship also exhibited enhanced future academic productivity.Conclusions. Academic CT surgeons who published CT surgery research before fellowship training ultimately exhibited more prolific and impactful research profiles compared with those who published only on subjects unrelated to CT surgery during training. Efforts to increase early engagement in CT surgery research among trainees should be fully endorsed. (C) 2021 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
