Improving research productivity is a common goal in academic anesthesiology. Initiatives to enhance scholarly productivity in anesthesiology were proposed more than a decade ago as a result of emphasis on clinical work. We hypothesized that American Board of Anesthesiology diplomates certified from 2006 to 2016 would be progressively more likely to have published at least once during this time period.
A complete list of 17,332 new diplomates was obtained from the American Board of Anesthesiology for the years 2006 to 2016. These names were queried using PubMed, and the number of publications up to and including the diplomate's year of primary certification was recorded. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the association of the year of primary certification and whether a diplomate had published at least once.
The percentage of American Board of Anesthesiology diplomates with ≥1 publication at the time of primary certification increased from 14.9% to 29.3% from 2006 to 2016. The mean number of publications per diplomate more than doubled from 0.31 to 0.79. Logistic regression analysis revealed the year of primary certification as significantly associated with having ≥1 publication (P < .001). Using 2006 as the reference year, odds of having published at least once were higher in the years 2010 to 2016, with the highest odds ratio of having a article published occurring in 2016: 2.359 (confidence interval, 1.978-2.812; P < .001).
Publications by new diplomates of the American Board of Anesthesiology have increased between 2006 and 2016. Whether the observed increase in publications could reflect efforts to stimulate interest in academic objectives during training remains to be proven.
提高研究生产力是学术麻醉学的共同目标。由于强调临床工作，十多年前就提出了提高麻醉学学术生产力的举措。我们假设，2006 年至 2016 年获得美国麻醉委员会认证的美国麻醉委员会委员在这段时间内发表论文的可能性会逐渐增加。
从美国麻醉委员会获得了 2006 年至 2016 年期间的 17332 名新委员的完整名单。使用 PubMed 对这些姓名进行了查询，并记录了包括在委员会主要认证年份在内的出版物数量。使用描述性统计和逻辑回归分析来分析主要认证年份与委员是否发表过论文之间的关联。
在主要认证时至少发表过一篇论文的美国麻醉委员会委员的比例从 2006 年的 14.9%增加到 2016 年的 29.3%。每位委员的平均出版物数量从 0.31 篇增加到 0.79 篇。逻辑回归分析显示，主要认证年份与发表至少一篇论文显著相关（P<0.001）。以 2006 年为参考年，2010 年至 2016 年发表论文的可能性更高，2016 年发表论文的可能性最高，优势比为 2.359（置信区间，1.978-2.812；P<0.001）。
美国麻醉委员会新委员的出版物在 2006 年至 2016 年间有所增加。观察到的出版物增加是否可以反映在培训期间对学术目标的兴趣的努力，还有待证明。
