Our objective was to examine the educational, research, and leadership trends among gynecologic oncology (GYO) fellowship program directors (PD) and how these vary by gender. PDs were identified using the Society of Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship Directory. Surveys were sent to PDs' emails to obtain information about demographics, education, and research background. Publicly available data and institutional biographies were used to supplement primary survey data for incomplete responses or survey non-responders. Scopus was used to determine the h-index and number of publications and citations for each PD. Parametric data were compared using unpaired two-tailed t-tests. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were performed for categorical data. The significance level was p < 0.05. Approximately one-half of PDs were female (50.8%). Female PDs had a younger mean age than male PDs (46.4 years vs 51.9 years, p = 0.0014). The average overall h-index was 22 (SD = 14.5) and the average number of publications was 71.2 (SD = 63.3). The average h-index was higher in male PDs than females (27.8 vs 16.3, p = 0.0012), as were the number of publications (97.3 vs 45.8, p = 0.0008). Differences exist among GYO PDs by gender. While research productivity may be reflective of age, gender-based equity in research time should be further explored.
我们的目标是研究妇科肿瘤学(GYO) fellowship项目主任(PD)的教育、研究和领导趋势,以及这些趋势如何因性别而异。使用妇科肿瘤学 fellowship名录确定PD。向PD的电子邮件发送调查问卷,以获取有关人口统计学、教育和研究背景的信息。对于未完整回复或未回复调查问卷的情况,使用公开可用数据和机构传记来补充初步调查数据。使用Scopus确定每位PD的h指数、出版物数量和引用次数。使用不成对双尾t检验比较参数数据。对分类数据进行卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验。显著性水平为p < 0.05。约一半的PD为女性(50.8%)。女性PD的平均年龄比男性PD年轻(46.4岁对51.9岁,p = 0.0014)。总体平均h指数为22(标准差 = 14.5),平均出版物数量为71.2(标准差 = 63.3)。男性PD的平均h指数高于女性(27.8对16.3,p = 0.0012),出版物数量也是如此(97.3对45.8,p = 0.0008)。GYO PD在性别方面存在差异。虽然研究生产力可能反映年龄,但仍应进一步探索研究时间方面基于性别的公平性。
