Producción científica durante el período de residencia en España: comparación entre especialidades médicas con programas de 5años / Research productivity during residency training in Spain: Comparison among medical specialties lasting 5 years

Objetivos: Comparar la cantidad y calidad de las publicaciones realizadas durante el período de residencia de Cardiología, Medicina Intensiva, Medicina Interna y Oncología Médica en España.Métodos: Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo de los médicos residentes de 4especialidades con 5años de duración (promoción 2014-2019). Se revisaron el número y el tipo de publicaciones indexadas en PubMed, el nombre de las revistas y sus índices bibliométricos (factor de impacto y cuartil), y la posición de autoría.Resultados: Los 649 residentes incluidos generaron 801 publicaciones (cociente o índice publicación/residente 1,23). Los residentes de Cardiología publicaron significativamente más (índice 2,57) y los de Medicina Intensiva menos (índice 0,42) que el resto de las especialidades (Medicina Interna, índice 1,06; Oncología Médica, índice 0,76; p<0,001). Globalmente, solo el 44,5% de los residentes participó en alguna publicación y el 27,6% en un artículo original; este último porcentaje se incrementó significativamente entre los cardiólogos (47,7%; p<0,001). Los tipos de publicación predominantes fueron los artículos originales (47,9%) y las notas clínicas (36,8%). La proporción de publicaciones en revistas de primer cuartil fue superior para los residentes de Cardiología (44,6% del total). Solo en un tercio de las publicaciones el residente fue primer o último firmante. La producción científica se relacionó con la especialidad, pero no con el sexo ni el tamaño del hospital donde se desarrolló la residencia.Conclusiones: Los residentes de Medicina Intensiva, Medicina Interna y Oncología Médica publican poco, mientras que la producción científica en Cardiología se puede considerar aceptable (AU)

The number and type of publications indexed in PubMed, the names of the journals and their bibliometric indexes (impact factor and quartiles), and author's positions were evaluated.Results: The 649 residents included in the study generated 801 publications (publication/resident ratio 1.23). Cardiology residents published significantly more (ratio 2.57) and Intensive Care Medicine residents less (ratio 0.42) than the remaining specialties (Internal Medicine, ratio 1.06; Medical Oncology, ratio 0.76; p<.001). Overall, only 44.5% of residents participated in a publication, with 27.6% participating in an original article; this latter percentage increased significantly among cardiologists (47.7%; p<.001). The predominant types of publications were original articles (47.9%) and clinical reports (36.8%). The proportion of publications in first quartile journals was higher for Cardiology residents (44.6% of total). The resident was the first or last author in only one-third of the publications. Scientific productivity was related to specialty, but not to gender or the size of the hospital in which the residency training occurred.Conclusions: Intensive Care Medicine, Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology residents publish insufficiently, while the scientific production from Cardiology residents could be considered acceptable (AU)

Research productivity during residency training in Spain: Comparison among medical specialties lasting 5 years.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the quantity and quality of publications during the residency training period in Cardiology, Intensive Care Medicine, Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology in Spain. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of residents from 4 specialties lasting 5 years (2014-2019). The number and type of publications indexed in PubMed®, the names of the journals and their bibliometric indexes (impact factor and quartiles), and author's positions were evaluated. RESULTS: The 649 residents included in the study generated 801 publications (publication/resident ratio 1.23). Cardiology residents published significantly more (ratio 2.57) and Intensive Care Medicine residents less (ratio 0.42) than the remaining specialties (Internal Medicine, ratio 1.06; Medical Oncology, ratio 0.76; p < .001).
