Association between an anesthesia department development program for junior faculty and long-term production of publications: A longitudinal cohort study
Authors' conclusion
A faculty development program for junior faculty can reliably increase the production of publications in an anesthesiology department by at least one per year. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in publication production among faculty.
Study context
- Population
- Faculty of the University of Iowa Department of Anesthesia, January 2006–December 2022distinct faculty
- Participants
- 128 participants
- Exposure
- Completed program vs Not completed
- Completed programn = 53
- Outcome
- Count of publications in Scopus per year
Methodological detailssingle-department, random effect models for panel data
- Single-department
- Random effect models for panel data
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Predicted marginal probability of ≥1 publication per year
- Completion of the faculty development program: absolute increase in predicted marginal probability of ≥1 publication per year, from 25% to 41%
- 17%
- 95% CI for the 17% absolute increase
- 9% to 24%
- P value
- P < .0001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Publications per year per faculty (predictive marginal effect of completing the program)
- More publications per year per faculty with completing the program
- 1.7
- 95% CI
- 1.1 to 2.4
- P value
- P < 0.0001
- Poisson random effect model for panel data
Publications per year, faculty who joined after 1996, adjusted for publications the year before joining (sensitivity analysis)
- More publications per year with completing the program (108 faculty)
- 1.7
