目的：描述青光眼奖学金匹配结果的趋势、青光眼申请者特征以及与匹配相关的申请者特征。设计：回顾性研究。参与者：2010年至2017年参加旧金山弗朗西斯科（SF）比赛的眼科奖学金申请者。方法：去身份化，由San弗朗西斯科（SF）提供的个人申请人数据Match用于描述2010年至2017年期间青光眼奖学金比赛趋势和申请人特征。公开的SF Match数据被用来确定参与青光眼奖学金比赛的项目数量的趋势，以及2014年至2019年提供和填补的职位数量。所有趋势分析均使用对数转换响应变量的线性回归模型进行。青光眼匹配的申请人的汇总统计与不匹配的申请人进行了比较。采用多因素Logistic回归模型分析青光眼团契匹配的相关因素。主要结果测量：团契匹配状况（在青光眼中匹配与在任何眼科专科中不匹配）。从2010年到2019年，匹配的青光眼奖学金申请人数从54人增加到77人（平均每年3.3%，P = 0.001），任何眼科奖学金申请者中符合青光眼的比例从13%增加到15.5%（平均每年3%; P = 0.041）。与2010年至2017年期间任何专业都不匹配的申请人相比，匹配的青光眼申请人更有可能毕业于前10名的住院医师项目（10.7% vs. 4.5%，P < 0.001），美国医学院（93.1% vs. 39.1%，P < 0.001），或美国居住计划（95.0% vs. 42.2%，P < 0.001），并完成更多的访谈（9 vs. 1，P < 0.001）。在控制了潜在的协变量后，与青光眼匹配几率增加相关的因素包括从美国住院医师项目毕业（比值比[OR]，9.91; 95%置信区间[CI]，5.45-18.03），适用于较少的项目（OR，0.91; 95%CI，0.88-0.93），并完成更多的采访（OR，1.49; CI，1.39-1.60）。美国医师执照考试（USMLE）步骤分数与青光眼奖学金的匹配无关。结论：从2010年到2019年，青光眼奖学金匹配的申请人数量增加。与青光眼匹配相关的因素是从美国住院医师项目毕业并完成更多的面试。(c)2021年美国眼科学会。
Purpose: To describe trends in the glaucoma fellowship match results, glaucoma applicant characteristics, and applicant characteristics associated with matching.Design: Retrospective study.Participants: Ophthalmology fellowship applicants participating in the San Francisco (SF) Match between 2010 and 2017.Methods: De-identified, individual applicant data provided by the San Francisco (SF) Match were used to describe glaucoma fellowship match trends and applicant characteristics between 2010 and 2017. Publicly available, conglomerate SF Match data were used to determine trends in the number of programs participating in the glaucoma fellowship match, as well as the number of positions offered and filled from 2014 to 2019. All trends analyses were performed using linear regression models on log-transformed response variables. Summary statistics for applicants who matched in glaucoma were compared with those who did not match. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to evaluate factors associated with matching in glaucoma fellowship.Main Outcome Measures: Fellowship match status (matched in glaucoma vs. did not match in any ophthalmology subspecialty).Results: From 2010 to 2019, the number of matched glaucoma fellowship applicants increased from 54 to 77 (mean 3.3% per year, P = 0.001), and the proportion of applicants to any ophthalmology fellowship who matched in glaucoma increased from 13% to 15.5% (mean, 3% per year; P = 0.041). Compared with applicants who did not match in any specialty between 2010 and 2017, matched glaucoma applicants were more likely to have graduated from a top 10 residency program (10.7% vs. 4.5%, P < 0.001), U.S. medical school (93.1% vs. 39.1%, P < 0.001), or U.S. residency program (95.0% vs. 42.2%, P < 0.001), and complete more interviews (9 vs. 1, P < 0.001). After controlling for potential covariates, factors associated with increased odds of matching in glaucoma included graduating from a U.S. residency program (odds ratio [OR], 9.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.45-18.03), applying to fewer programs (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88-0.93), and completing a greater number of interviews (OR, 1.49; CI, 1.39-1.60). United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step scores were not associated with matching in glaucoma.Conclusions: The number of applicants who matched in glaucoma fellowship increased from 2010 to 2019. Factors associated with matching in glaucoma were graduating from a U.S. residency program and completing more interviews. (c) 2021 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
