目的：为了评估是否学术眼科医生的学术影响，使用h指数测量，是受奖学金培训状态，并进一步表征不同的亚专业和部门rank.DESIGN之间的生产力差异：描述性和相关性设计。总共分析了来自99个眼科培训项目的1440名学术眼科医生。h指数数据来自Scopus数据库。教员按学术级别分类，并根据培训情况分为10类：眼前节、角膜和外部疾病、青光眼、葡萄膜炎和眼免疫学、玻璃体视网膜疾病、眼科整形外科、儿科眼科、神经眼科、眼科病理学和“其他”。使用Microsoft Excel和“R”统计软件进行单因素方差分析或Student t检验，用于比较连续变量，显著性设置为p <0.05。设置：在美国从事学术眼科住院医师培训项目的教师，其信息存储在美国医学协会的奖学金和住院医师电子交互数据库中。研究员培训的眼科医生有显着更高的研究生产力，使用h指数测量，比非研究员培训的眼科医生在这项研究中（p < 0.0005）。在玻璃体视网膜疾病或眼科病理学方面的学术眼科医生的学术生产力最高，与其他眼科亚专业相比（p < 0.05）。从助理教授到教授，学术生产力随着学术级别的增加而显著增加（p < 0.05）。一个显着的差异，研究员培训和非研究员培训的眼科医生之间的生产力存在个别只有在助理Professor的水平（p < 0.0005）。结论：学术眼科医生与研究员培训有显着更高的学术产出比非研究员培训的眼科医生做，作为衡量使用的h指数。从助理教授到教授，研究生产力随着部门学术级别的提高而提高。(C)2015年在外科项目主任协会。爱思唯尔公司出版All rights reserved.
OBJECTIVES: To assess whether scholarly impact of academic ophthalmologists, as measured using the h-index, is affected by fellowship training status and to further characterize differences in productivity among the various subspecialties and by departmental rank.DESIGN: A descriptive and correlational design was used. In total, 1440 academic ophthalmologists from 99 ophthalmology training programs were analyzed. The h-index data were obtained from the Scopus database. Faculty members were classified by academic rank and grouped into 10 categories based on fellowship training: anterior segment, corneal and external disease, glaucoma, uveitis and ocular immunology, vitreoretinal disease, ophthalmic plastic surgery, pediatric ophthalmology, neuro-ophthalmology, ophthalmic pathology, and "other." A one-way analysis of variance or Student t test using Microsoft Excel and "R" statistical software were used for comparison of continuous variables, with significance set at p < 0.05.SETTINGS: Faculty working in academic ophthalmology residency training programs in the United States whose information is stored in the American Medical Association's Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database.RESULTS: Fellowship-trained ophthalmologists had significantly higher research productivity, as measured using the h-index, than non fellowship-trained ophthalmologists in this study (p < 0.0005). Academic ophthalmologists trained in vitreoretinal disease or ophthalmic pathology had the highest scholarly productivity compared with those in other ophthalmology subspecialties (p < 0.05). There was a significant increase in scholarly productivity with increasing academic rank from Assistant Professor to Professor (p < 0.05). A significant difference in productivity between fellowship-trained and non fellowship-trained ophthalmologists existed individually only at the level of Assistant Professor (p < 0.0005).CONCLUSION: Academic ophthalmologists with fellowship training have significantly higher scholarly output than non fellowship-trained ophthalmologists do, as measured using the h-index. Research productivity increases with departmental academic rank from Assistant Professor to Professor. (C) 2015 Association of Program Directors in Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc.
