Abstract
Study Objective
To evaluate what proportion of abstracts presented at the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) Annual Scientific Meetings went on to be published in publicly available journals.
Design
Retrospective observational study.
Setting
Single organization.
Participants
Abstracts (oral presentations, oral posters, video presentations, nonoral posters) presented at the SGS Annual Scientific Meeting from 2013 to 2020.
Interventions
Variables were collected pertaining to abstract authors, study type, timing of the session presented, and journal factors. To identify possible publications, abstracts were cross-referenced in PubMed and Google Scholar.
Measurements and Main Results
A total of 912 abstracts were reviewed: 155 oral presentations, 184 oral posters, 79 video presentations, and 490 nonoral posters. 45.8% of abstracts went on to publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Most abstracts (75.0%) were published from institutions with a fellowship presence and at a university-based program (71.5%). The five most represented institutions presented 27.5% of all abstracts during an SGS session. Oral presentations were more likely than oral posters to be structured as randomized controlled trials (20% vs 9%, p = .028), and to be published in a journal with a higher impact factor (6.36 ± 11.74 vs 3.88 ± 2.72, p = .031). Type of presentation and fellowship presence significantly affected the likelihood of abstract publication (oral presentation OR 0.73, 95% CI [0.466, 1.141], p = .167; video OR 0.14, 95% CI [0.075, 0.261; nonoral poster OR 0.30, 95% CI [0.204, 0.439]; p < .001; fellowship OR 1.62, 95% CI [1.167, 2.237], p = .004).
Conclusion
Over 8 years of the SGS Annual Scientific Meeting, the rate of abstract publication was 45.8%. Abstract origination from an academic institution with a fellowship program significantly affected the likelihood of publication. Abstract presentation at a society meeting is a prestigious opportunity, and prioritization of resources and elimination of barriers should be encouraged to further promote progression of these projects to publication.
目的:评估在妇科外科医生学会(SGS)年度科学会议上提交的摘要在公开期刊上发表的比例:评估在妇科外科医生学会(SGS)年度科学会议上提交的摘要中有多大比例在公开期刊上发表:设计:回顾性观察研究:单一机构 参与者2013-2020年期间在SGS科学年会上提交的摘要(口头报告、口头海报、视频报告、非口头海报):收集与摘要作者、研究类型、会议时间和期刊因素相关的变量。为确定可能发表的论文,在 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 中对摘要进行交叉引用:共审查了 912 份摘要:主要结果:共审查了 912 篇摘要:155 篇口头报告、184 篇口头海报、79 篇视频报告和 490 篇非口头海报。45.8%的摘要在同行评审期刊上发表。大多数摘要(75.0%)发表于有奖学金的机构和大学项目(71.5%)。在 SGS 会议期间发表摘要最多的五个机构占所有摘要的 27.5%。与口头海报相比,口头报告更有可能是随机对照试验(20% vs 9%,p=0.028),也更有可能发表在影响因子较高的期刊上(6.36 ± 11.74 vs 3.88 ± 2.72,p=0.031)。演讲类型和是否获得研究员资格对摘要发表的可能性有很大影响(口头报告 OR 0.73,95% CI [0.466,1.141],p=0.167;视频 OR 0.14,95% CI [0.075,0.261;非口头海报 OR 0.30,95% CI [0.204,0.439];p结论:在 SGS 科学年会举办的八年中,论文摘要发表率为 45.8%。摘要如果来自设有奖学金项目的学术机构,发表的可能性就会大大增加。在学会会议上提交摘要是一个很好的机会,应鼓励优先安排资源和消除障碍,以进一步促进这些项目的发表。
