Industry relationships with interventional radiologists: Who are the high payment physicians?

Purpose

To identify characteristics of interventional radiologists receiving more than $100,000 in general industry payments over a 5-year period (2017-2021).

Methods

The Open Payments database was queried to identify interventional radiologists who received more than $100,000 in consulting fees, speaker fees, education, and/or gifts over a 5-year period from 2017 to 2021. The national provider identifier registry, Scopus, and a web-based search were used to identify physician characteristics, such as demographics, research profile, leadership positions, and social media presence.

Results

From 2017-2021, 125 interventional radiologists received cumulative payments greater than $100,000 in consulting fees, speaker fees, education, and gifts. For this subset of physicians, the median (IQR) cumulative payment value was $214,380 ($141,812 - $383,740), and the total payment value was $40 million. While the highest-paid subset of physicians represented only 3 % (125/4272) of all US interventional radiologists paid by industry, the total payment value represented 66 % ($40,039,610.08/$60,859,025) of the total payment value among all interventional radiologists. 47 % (59/125) had faculty appointments and 30 % (37/125) had hospital leadership positions. 22 % (27/125) were clinical practice guideline authors, while 18 % (23/125) served on journal editorial boards and 12 % (15/125) had positions in specialty association leadership. Castle Connolly recognized 26 % (32/125) as top doctors. Among the 96 % (120/125) with published research in the past 5 years, the median (IQR) H-index was 17 (7-31). 38 % (48/125) had a presence on Twitter with a median (IQR) Kardashian index of 2.03 (0.48-6.16).

Conclusion

A small subset of interventional radiologists receive large payments from drug and medical device companies. These physicians are leaders in their field with influence in hospitals, research, associations, and social media. Further work is needed to understand how the concentration of these payments affects decisions in clinical practice and policy.

期刊介绍： Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology covers important and controversial topics in radiology. Each issue presents important viewpoints from leading radiologists. High-quality reproductions of radiographs, CT scans, MR images, and sonograms clearly depict what is being described in each article. Also included are valuable updates relevant to other areas of practice, such as medical-legal issues or archiving systems. With new multi-topic format and image-intensive style, Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology offers an outstanding, time-saving investigation into current topics most relevant to radiologists.
