Institutional academic productivity varies on an individual level. This study aims to analyze the research output of adult reconstruction and arthroplasty fellowship programs in the United States.
The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons Fellowship Directory was used to evaluate 112 adult reconstruction and arthroplasty fellowships in the United States. Publication data and Hirsch index (h-index) were collected from the Scopus Database. All of each author's total publications were analyzed with their current institution, regardless of their affiliation at the time of publication. Multivariate logistic regressions were performed to determine the effect of program size on research productivity.
The total number of publications per institution ranged from 2 to 3743, with a mean of 289 and a median of 135. The h-index of individual faculty members ranged from 0 to 103, with a mean of 16 and a median of 11. The number of faculty ( < .001) and number of fellows ( = .003) per program had a significant effect on the total number of publications. The number of faculty did not have a significant effect on the median number of publications ( = .12) or the median h-index ( = .31). The number of fellows had a significant effect on the median number of publications ( < .001) and the median h-index ( < .001).
Academic productivity in adult reconstruction and arthroplasty fellowships within the United States varies widely, with the top few institutions responsible for a majority of the overall output.
机构的学术产出在个体层面存在差异。本研究旨在分析美国成人重建与关节置换 fellowship 项目的研究成果。
使用美国髋膝关节外科医生协会 fellowship 名录对美国 112 个成人重建与关节置换 fellowship 项目进行评估。从 Scopus 数据库收集出版数据和 Hirsch 指数（h 指数）。分析每位作者的所有出版物与其当前所在机构的关系，无论其发表时的所属机构如何。进行多变量逻辑回归以确定项目规模对研究产出的影响。
每个机构的出版物总数从 2 到 3743 不等，平均为 289，中位数为 135。个体教员的 h 指数从 0 到 103 不等，平均为 16，中位数为 11。每个项目的教员数量（<.001）和研究员数量（=.003）对出版物总数有显著影响。教员数量对出版物中位数（=.12）或 h 指数中位数（=.31）没有显著影响。研究员数量对出版物中位数（<.001）和 h 指数中位数（<.001）有显著影响。
美国成人重建与关节置换 fellowship 项目的学术产出差异很大，少数顶尖机构贡献了大部分总体产出。
