Abstract
<div> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong>Introduction:</strong> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Since 2013, Portuguese legislation has required entities within the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors to publicly declare all economic advantages granted or received through the <em>Plataforma de Comunicações – Transparência e Publicidade</em> (PCTP) managed by <em>Infarmed.</em> Although industry payments to physicians may raise concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest, these funds play a crucial role in supporting residents’ medical training. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">This study aimed to assess the evolution of the number and monetary value of sponsorships received by portuguese cardiology residents over the last decade.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong>Methods:</strong> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">A cross-sectional analysis was conducted by integrating data from the <em>Administração Central do Sistema de Saúde</em> with records from the PCTP regarding cardiology residents. The primary outcomes were the number and monetary value of sponsorships received by each resident throughout their five-year training period, stratified by entry-year cohort. Secondary analyses explored the influence of geographical region, number of residents per hospital per year, and hospital affiliation per cohort. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong>Results:</strong> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">127 cardiology residents who began their training in 2013 (n=29), 2015 (n=29), 2017 (n=35), and 2019 (n=34) were included. The mean number of sponsorships was 20.24 ± 7.93 with a mean monetary value of €9223.37 ± 4490.42 during their training period. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Although the number of sponsorships increased significantly from 2013 to 2019 (p<0.001), this wasn’t reflected in the total sponsorship values. In fact, the highest mean values were observed in 2013 (€10,413.86) and 2015 (€10,772.01) cohorts, with significant differences noted between the 2017 and both the 2013 (p=0.026) and 2015 (p=0.010) cohorts. Despite an increasing number of residents per year, the overall total sponsorship value decreased over time. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Sponsorship numbers varied significantly by region (p=0.040), while the total value approached statistical significance (p=0.067). Conversely, neither the number of residents per hospital per year nor hospital affiliation significantly influenced sponsorship patterns. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><strong>Conclusion: </strong></span></span></p> </div> <p><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">This study highlights the significant variations in the number and value of sponsorships received by cardiology residents over the years, revealing notable decline in the average sponsorship per resident. As curriculum demands continue to grow, sponsorships remain vital for residents to achieve academic and professional milestones.</span></span></p>
