Abstract

Background

Publication of conference abstracts as full-text articles is considered an indicator of scientific quality and research dissemination. The annual congress of the French Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology (SOFCOT) is the leading national meeting in French orthopaedics. This study evaluated publication outcomes of oral presentations from SOFCOT meetings between 2016 and 2024.

Hypothesis

Publication rates of SOFCOT oral communications would improve over time, reflecting increased research productivity and scientific quality.

Methods

Oral presentations accepted at SOFCOT annual meetings from 2016 to 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Corresponding publications were identified through systematic searches of PubMed and Google Scholar. Publication rate, time to publication, journals, citation metrics, impact factors, and category normalized citation impact (CNCI) were analyzed.

Results

Among 3877 oral communications, 1278 were subsequently published, yielding an overall publication rate of 33%. Of published studies, 92.3% were indexed in PubMed and 86.0% in Web of Science. Publication rates remained stable over time (p = 0.34), despite an increase in presentations after 2021. Median time to publication was 16 months (IQR: 8–28) and progressively decreased during the study period. Nearly 20% of studies were published before congress presentation. Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research (OTSR) was the leading publication journal (29.5%), followed by International Orthopaedics and Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. Median CNCI was 0.74 (IQR: 0.31–1.46). Arthroplasty generated the largest publication volume, while shoulder surgery, ACL research, and pelvic trauma showed higher citation impact.

Conclusion

One-third of SOFCOT oral communications were published as full-text articles, consistent with other orthopaedic meetings. Although publication rates did not improve over time, delays shortened and international dissemination increased, confirming the scientific value of the SOFCOT congress.

Level of evidence

III.

2016年至2024年在SOFCOT年会上的口头报告发表结果。

背景：会议摘要作为全文发表被认为是科学质量和研究传播的一个指标。法国骨科外科与创伤学会（SOFCOT）的年度会议是法国骨科的主要国家会议。本研究评估了2016年至2024年SOFCOT会议口头报告的发表结果。假设：SOFCOT口头传播的发表率将随着时间的推移而提高，反映出研究生产力和科学质量的提高。方法：回顾性分析2016年至2024年在SOFCOT年会上接受的口头报告。通过系统检索PubMed和谷歌Scholar找到相应的出版物。分析了发表率、发表时间、期刊、引用指标、影响因子和类别标准化引用影响（CNCI）。结果：口头交流3877篇，后续发表1278篇，总发表率为33%。在已发表的研究中，92.3%被PubMed收录，86.0%被Web Of Science收录。尽管在2021年之后发表的论文有所增加，但随着时间的推移，发表率保持稳定（p = 0.34）。到发表的中位时间为16个月（IQR: 8-28），在研究期间逐渐减少。近20%的研究是在国会发表之前发表的。骨科与创伤学：外科与研究（OTSR）是主要的出版期刊（29.5%），其次是国际骨科与膝关节外科，运动创伤学，关节镜。中位CNCI为0.74 （IQR: 0.31-1.46）。关节成形术的发表量最大，而肩关节手术、前交叉韧带研究和骨盆创伤的引用量更高。结论：三分之一的SOFCOT口头交流以全文形式发表，与其他骨科会议一致。虽然发表率没有随着时间的推移而提高，但延迟缩短了，国际传播增加了，这证实了SOFCOT大会的科学价值。证据水平：III。
