Sparse data exist regarding the association between applicants' Comprehensive Basic Science Examination (CBSE) scores and acceptance into an oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) residency program. The aims of this study were to assess the association between applicants' CBSE scores and acceptance into one OMFS residency program; to determine the association between other applicant-related variables and acceptance into the program; and to identify the mean CBSE score of accepted applicants by their dental schools' American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) district. For this retrospective data analysis conducted in 2017, the study sample consisted of applicants to the University of Illinois at Chicago OMFS residency program for the application cycles of 2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16. The primary predictor variable was CBSE score. The primary outcome variable was acceptance to the program. A total of 477 applicants were in the sample. In the multivariate analysis, CBSE score was found to be significantly associated with an increased chance of acceptance into the program (OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.15; p<0.001). Other variables associated with acceptance, though to a non-significant degree, were age (p=0.01), dental school grade point average (GPA) (p=0.01), and number of externships completed prior to application (p=0.02). These findings may be useful for both applicants and program directors.
关于申请者的综合基础科学考试（CBSE）成绩与被口腔颌面外科（OMFS）住院医师项目录取之间的关联，现有数据较为稀少。本研究的目的是评估申请者的CBSE成绩与被一个OMFS住院医师项目录取之间的关联；确定其他与申请者相关的变量与被该项目录取之间的关联；并按申请者所在牙科学院的美国口腔颌面外科医师协会（AAOMS）地区，确定被录取申请者的CBSE平均成绩。对于这项在2017年进行的回顾性数据分析，研究样本包括2013 - 14、2014 - 15和2015 - 16申请周期中申请芝加哥伊利诺伊大学OMFS住院医师项目的申请者。主要预测变量是CBSE成绩。主要结局变量是被该项目录取。样本中共有477名申请者。在多变量分析中，发现CBSE成绩与被该项目录取的几率增加显著相关（OR = 1.11，95% CI：1.08，1.15；p < 0.001）。其他与录取相关但程度不显著的变量包括年龄（p = 0.01）、牙科学院平均绩点（GPA）（p = 0.01）以及申请前完成的实习数量（p = 0.02）。这些发现可能对申请者和项目主任都有用。
