To assess the relationship between reputation of hospitals, as determined by specialists' opinion, and their scientific production.
A questionnaire was sent to a sample of members of the Spanish Societies of Cardiology, Digestive Diseases, Neurology and Otorhinolaryngology. Each member had the possibility to nominate 5 hospitals with the greatest reputation amongst his/her specialty. Final score for those hospitals with more than 5% of all votes was used for the development of a reputation index. We assess the scientific production (number of publications and citations) for nominated hospitals and analyze the possible correlation between the reputation index and the scientific production.
We received 151 (30%) answers for cardiology, 227 (27%) for digestive diseases, 148 (30%) for neurology and 177 (18%) for otorhinolaryngology. The number of published articles and the number of citations for each nominated hospital showed a positive and statistically significant correlation with the reputation index.
This is the first approach to analyze reputation parameters for Spanish hospitals. Scientific production and reputation index showed a positive correlation.
通过专家意见确定医院声誉，并评估其与医院科研产出之间的关系。
向西班牙心脏病学、消化疾病、神经病学和耳鼻咽喉科学会的部分成员发送了调查问卷。每位成员可提名其所在专业领域中声誉最佳的5家医院。获得超过5%总票数的医院的最终得分用于构建声誉指数。我们评估了被提名医院的科研产出（论文发表数量和引用次数），并分析了声誉指数与科研产出之间可能存在的相关性。
我们收到了151份（30%）心脏病学方面的回复、227份（27%）消化疾病方面的回复、148份（30%）神经病学方面的回复以及177份（18%）耳鼻咽喉科学方面的回复。每家被提名医院的论文发表数量和引用次数与声誉指数呈正相关且具有统计学意义。
这是分析西班牙医院声誉参数的首次尝试。科研产出与声誉指数呈正相关。
