The objective of this study was to determine the publication rate for orthopaedic trauma resident research projects that receive grant funding and the long-term academic involvement of the grant recipients.
Retrospective.
Publically available records for resident research grant recipients.
Resident research grants on orthopaedic trauma topics from Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA), AO North America (AONA), and Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation from 2000 to 2022.
Subsequent related publications, grant size, time to publication, sustained academic involvement of the residents as measured by academic position, total number of publications, and h-index.
Three hundred ninety-seven orthopaedic trauma grants (OTA 117, AONA 225, and OREF 55) were identified. A total of 38% (151) of grants resulted in a publication with no significant difference between agencies (P = 0.94). The average amount awarded was $9,843, with no correlation to publication (P = 0.63). The mean time to publication was 3.57 ± 2.33 years. The time to publication for AONA was significantly longer than for OTA (4.14 vs. 2.83 years, P = 0.004). There was no difference in total publications, h-index, or NIH grants between grant recipients from different agencies. More OTA grant recipients held an academic position compared with AONA grant recipients (63% vs. 43%, P = 0.003). Grant awardees with initial publication success were 1.7 times as likely to have a future academic appointment (P = 0.014) and had 1.9 times the number of publications than those without (P = 0.001). Awardees with an h-index in the top quartile were significantly more likely to have published than those with an h-index in the bottom quartile (P = 0.007).
Fewer than half of orthopaedic trauma-related resident research grants resulted in a publication with comparable rates across agencies. Grant size did not predict publication success. Publication success was a positive predictor of continued academic involvement. Most publications occurred within 5 years, suggesting that these grants may be most helpful in career development if awarded during the first 1-2 years of a 5-year orthopaedic residency program.
本研究旨在确定获得资助的骨科创伤住院医师研究项目的发表率，以及资助接受者的长期学术参与度。
回顾性研究。
可公开获取的住院医师研究资助获得者的记录。
2000 年至 2022 年，来自骨科创伤协会（OTA）、北美矫形外科学会（AONA）和骨科研究与教育基金会的骨科创伤主题住院医师研究资助。
确定了 397 项骨科创伤资助（OTA117、AONA225 和 OREF55）。其中 38%（151 项）的资助项目有相关出版物，但各机构之间没有显著差异（P=0.94）。平均拨款金额为 9843 美元，与出版物无相关性（P=0.63）。平均发表时间为 3.57±2.33 年。AONA 的发表时间明显长于 OTA（4.14 与 2.83 年，P=0.004）。不同机构资助的获得者之间在总出版物数量、h 指数或 NIH 资助方面没有差异。与 AONA 资助获得者相比，更多的 OTA 资助获得者拥有学术职位（63%比 43%，P=0.003）。初次发表成功的资助获得者未来获得学术任命的可能性增加了 1.7 倍（P=0.014），发表的论文数量也增加了 1.9 倍（P=0.001）。h 指数处于前四分之一的获得者比处于后四分之一的获得者更有可能发表论文（P=0.007）。
不到一半的与骨科创伤相关的住院医师研究资助项目有出版物，各机构的发表率相当。拨款规模并不能预测发表的成功。发表的成功是持续学术参与的积极预测因素。大多数出版物在 5 年内发表，这表明如果在 5 年骨科住院医师项目的头 1-2 年内授予这些资助，它们可能对职业发展最有帮助。
