Sumario:Introduction: We proposed to analyze the scientific production of our institution, through the publications indexed in the PUBMED and analyze: a) Total number of publications and progression over time; b) Type of publications; c) Unit participation; d) Relation between % publications / % medical unit staff; e) Impact factor. Methods: A retrospective research was performed in PUBMED database between 1/1/2013 and 12/31/2018 and all the papers that respond to the affiliation name of "Hospital Italiano"  (spanish) o "Italian Hospital" (english) were reviewed. The following information was collected from each publication: authors, journal, impact factor, unit involved and language of publication. Results: A total of 1421 publications were included for the analysis. There was a progressive increase of 417% between 2013 and 2018. 802 (56%) were done only by our institution and 619 (44%) corresponded to multicenter studies. Internal medicine (341 - 23.99%) was the unit with more publications and Medical Informatics the unit with the best relation between % of publications and % professional staff (5.39). 82% (1167) of the papers were in English and the medina value of the impact factor was 2,61 (range: 0,01-29,78). Conclusion: The scientific production, measurable by the number of publications indexed in PUBMED has shown a progressive and sustained increase in time from 2013 to the present. We consider it important to stimulate and encourage professionals to continue with scientific production without neglecting quality standards of care activity.
