In 2010, I was asked by colleagues at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute
of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to moderate a Pediatric and Adolescent
Gynecology Research Think Tank Panel. I prepared a presentation on the science of
pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) in which I addressed the history of PAG,
highlighting that PAG is a “young” and developing subspeciality, with an evolution
of scholarship. At that meeting, I showed a chart (Fig. 1), which indicated that the type of article most commonly published in the Journal
of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (JPAG) was a case report. I compared JPAG with
the Journal of Adolescent Health (JAH), for which the most common article was a comparative
study, followed by reviews, clinical trials, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs)—all
of which were published more frequently than case reports. This was used to illustrate
the point that adolescent medicine was a more “mature” discipline, in which scholarship
had evolved beyond case reports.
