住院医师排名名单位置能否预测介入放射学培训中的临床表现？
该研究回顾性分析单中心2020-2025年介入放射学住院医师/进修医师的申请数据与培训期临床表现，发现NRMP排名名单位置与临床表现无显著相关性，而USMLE Step 2分数是唯一显著预测因子，截断值239处区分度最大。
要点
- NRMP排名名单位置与住院医师临床表现无显著相关性。
- USMLE Step 2分数是临床表现的唯一显著预测因子。
- Step 2分数239分处对临床表现的区分度最大。
核心结论
- 面试驱动的排名位置可能无法可靠识别高绩效住院医师。
- USMLE Step 2分数对介入放射学培训期间的临床表现可能具有更好的预测价值。
研究设计与样本
- 回顾性研究，纳入单中心2020-2025年介入放射学住院医师和进修医师的申请数据。
- 申请指标包括USMLE分数、临床和研究经历数量、同行评议发表、摘要、奖项及最终排名名单位置。
- 采用与ACGME里程碑对齐的结构化问卷调查直接共事但未参与排名名单制定的教师，评估培训期间临床表现。
- 使用组内相关系数评估评分者间信度，并计算复合临床评分。
诊断标准与关键数值
- 医学知识评分者间信度中等（ICC=0.60，p<0.001）。
- 操作能力评分者间信度中等（ICC=0.50，p<0.001）。
- 患者照护评分者间信度中等（ICC=0.50，p=0.004）。
- NRMP排名名单位置与临床表现无显著相关性（Spearman ρ=0.07，p=0.82）。
- USMLE Step 2分数是临床表现的唯一显著预测因子（β=0.17，p=0.01），截断值239处区分度最大。
临床应用与阅片要点
- 介入放射学住院医师选拔中，面试排名可能不是预测临床表现的有效工具。
- USMLE Step 2分数可作为评估申请者未来临床表现的参考指标之一。
局限性
- 回顾性研究设计。
- 单中心数据，样本量有限。
- 临床表现评估基于教师问卷，可能存在主观偏倚。

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between Interventional Radiology (IR) trainees' clinical performance during residency and their final National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) rank order list (ROL) placement during the match application, and to identify application metrics predictive of strong clinical performance.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of application data for IR residents and fellows graduating from a single academic center between 2020-2025 was conducted. Metrics included United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores, number of clinical and research experiences, peer-reviewed publications, abstracts, awards and the final placement on the ROL. A structured survey aligned with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) milestones was designed and distributed to faculty who directly worked with each trainee but were not involved in the program's NRMP rank order list formation to evaluate their clinical performance during IR training. Inter-rater reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and a composite clinical score was calculated. Associations between application metrics, NRMP rank, and clinical performance were evaluated using Spearman correlation and univariate linear regression.
RESULTS: Moderate inter-rater reliability was observed for medical knowledge (ICC=0.60, p < 0.001), procedural competence (ICC=0.50, p < 0.001), and patient care (ICC = 0.50, p = 0.004). No significant correlation was found between NRMP rank list placement and clinical performance (Spearman ρ = 0.07, p = 0.82). USMLE Step 2 score was the only significant predictor of clinical performance (β = 0.17, p = 0.01), with the greatest separation observed at a cutoff score of 239.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that interview-driven rank placement may not reliably identify high-performing residents, whereas Step 2 scores may provide better predictive value for clinical performance during IR training.
