“…9,11 Reports from other surgical fields noted the h-index to be independently associated with academic appointment. 9,11,13,18 This finding contrasts with our study findings as the h-index in our study was independently associated only with appointment to division chief. This suggests that the quality of research and research reputation are particularly important for division chief in vascular surgery but less important for promotion within an institution.…”

“…Our findings demonstrated a mean h-index of 12.8 among fellowship associated total joint faculty. This compares to an average h-index of 5 for all academic orthopaedic surgeons [6] , 12.8 among musculoskeletal tumor surgeons [18] , 10.2 among fellowship associated hand faculty [16] , and 13.6 among all fellowship associated spine faculty [15] .…”

BackgroundThe Hirsch index (h-index) is a measure that evaluates both research volume and quality—taking into consideration both publications and citations of a single author. No prior work has evaluated academic productivity and contributions to the literature of adult total joint replacement surgeons. This study uses h-index to benchmark the academic impact and identify characteristics associated with productivity of faculty members at joint replacement fellowships.MethodsAdult reconstruction fellowship programs were obtained via the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons website. Via the San Francisco match and program-specific websites, program characteristics (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education approval, academic affiliation, region, number of fellows, fellow research requirement), associated faculty members, and faculty-specific characteristics (gender, academic title, formal fellowship training, years in practice) were obtained. H-index and total faculty publications served as primary outcome measures. Multivariable linear regression determined statistical significance.ResultsSixty-six adult total joint reconstruction fellowship programs were identified: 30% were Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education approved and 73% had an academic affiliation. At these institutions, 375 adult reconstruction surgeons were identified; 98.1% were men and 85.3% had formal arthroplasty fellowship training. Average number of publications per faculty member was 50.1 (standard deviation 76.8; range 0-588); mean h-index was 12.8 (standard deviation 13.8; range 0-67). Number of fellows, faculty academic title, years in practice, and formal fellowship training had a significant (P < .05) positive correlation with both h-index and total publications.ConclusionsThe statistical overview presented in this work can help total joint surgeons quantitatively benchmark their academic performance against that of their peers.

“…[17][18][19]35 These differences have been noted in other specialties as well. 14,[36][37][38][39][40][41] Our recent analysis 42 evaluating industry financial ties among academic otolaryngologists noted that receiving industry contributions greater than $1000 is associated with greater scholarly impact. That study design, like this one, did not allow for attribution of causality.…”

A greater proportion of male vs female academic otolaryngologists receive contributions from industry. These differences persist after controlling for academic rank and experience. The gender disparities we have identified may be owing to men publishing earlier in their careers, with women often surpassing men later in their academic lives, or as a result of previously described gender disparities in scholarly impact and academic advancement.
