Abstract
Introduction and objective

The importance of otorhinolaryngology as a separate branch of medicine has grown in the last decades. The objective of this work is to analyze the doctoral theses in ENT presented in Spain between 1976 and 2005.

Methods

The TESEO database was searched for theses on otorhinolaryngology produced in Spain between 1976 and 2005. The search criteria used were the terms “Otorhinolaryngology,” “Ear, nose, and throat surgery,” “Hearing physiology,” “Vestibular physiology,” “Hearing physics,” and “Bioacoustics.”

Results

468 theses were found (15.6 theses/year). Of these, 343 (73.6%) were submitted by otorhinolaryngologists. The Universities of Valencia (Estudi General) (49), Complutense of Madrid (42), Salamanca (39), Barcelona (35), and Autònoma of Barcelona (31) accounted for most of the theses. The name of the supervisor was listed in 376 of the 468 theses (80.4%); 286 of them had only 1 supervisor (76.1%) and 90 had 2 (23.9%). The most frequent topics were otology and audiology (35.1%).

Conclusions

Otorhinolaryngology in Spain has produced a similar number of theses as other areas of knowledge evaluated. The supervision of theses has tended to be shared in the most recent years studied. The number of theses submitted each year did not have only academic influences but also non-academic reasons.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

La importancia de la otorrinolaringología como disciplina independiente ha crecido en las últimas décadas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las tesis doctorales defendidas sobre el tema en España entre 1976 y 2005.

Métodos

Mediante la base de datos TESEO se obtuvieron los registros de las tesis doctorales sobre otorrinolaringología elaboradas en España entre 1976 y 2005. Como criterios de búsqueda empleamos los descriptores: “otorrinolaringología”, “cirugía de garganta, nariz y oídos”, “fisiología de la audición”, “fisiología del equilibrio”, “física de la audición” y “bioacústica”.

Resultados

Se identificaron 468 tesis (15,6 tesis/año). Del total de ellas, 343 (73,6%) fueron leídas por otorrinolaringólogos. Las universidades donde se leyeron más tesis fueron: Valencia (Estudi General) (49), Complutense de Madrid (42), Salamanca (39), Barcelona (35) y Autónoma de Barcelona (31). El director de la tesis pudo ser identificado en 376 (80,4%) registros; de ellos 286 (76,1%) tenían un solo director y 90 (23,9%) estaban codirigidas por 2 directores. Los temas más frecuentemente abordados son los de otología y audiología (35,1%).

Conclusiones

La otorrinolaringología en España genera un número de tesis similar a las de otras áreas de conocimiento evaluadas. Su dirección tiende a ser compartida en los últimos años estudiados. El número anual de tesis presentadas está influido no sólo por motivos académicos, sino también por razones coyunturales extraacadémicas.
