Oncology (30.7% ; 95% CI, 25.3% - 36.1%), critical care medicine (29.6% ; 95% CI, 24.2% - 35.0%), and pulmonary medicine (21.5% ; 95% Cl, 16.6% - 26.4%) journals published more items pertaining to all ethics-related topics compared with cardiology (11.0% ; 95% Cl, 7.3% - 14.7%) or nephrology (7.3% ; 95% Cl, 4.2% - 10.4%) journals.
