INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of the study was to determine urogynecology publication rates in obstetrics and gynecology literature. METHODS: Original scientific articles from American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) and Obstetrics and Gynecology (Obstet Gynecol) from 1996-2007 were reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 10,192 articles were evaluated. Two trends were noted in the AJOG: percentage of urogynecology articles increased (correlation with year r = 0.845; p < 0.05) and percentage of obstetric articles decreased (negative correlation r = -0.589; p < 0.05). Similarly for Obstet Gynecol, the number of urogynecology articles increased with time with a strong positive correlation of r = 0.743 and p < 0.05. There was a significant difference in the number of articles published in the AJOG in months with an annual scientific meeting compared to months without (t = -6.34; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The numbers of urogynecology articles published in the general literature has increased and may be related to presentation at national meetings. |
