The aim of this study was the assessment of the scientific production and impact on academic and/or hospital promotion ob sabbatical leaves of medical staff from a University hospital.
A matched case-control design was used. The Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (ORMH) and its 95% confidence intervals were calculated. A total of 52 sabbaticals leaves were analyzed with successful matching for 43 pairs.
Taking a sabbatical leaves is associated with a significant higher chance of hospital promotion (ORMH = 7.5; CI 95%, 1.71-32.78; o = 0.004), but there is not a significantly higher chance of academic promotion (ORMH = 0.66; CI del 95%, 0.23-1.83; p = 0.60).
