Factors associated with acceptance and full publication of GI endoscopic research originally published in abstract form.

摘要: Abstract Background: Many abstracts submitted to annual scientific meetings never come full publication in peer-reviewed journals. The objective of this study was determine factors associated with the fate endoscopic research meeting American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). Methods: All (n = 461) ASGE May 1994 were retrospectively reviewed. following databases searched evidence full-manuscript form: Medline, HealthSTAR, Current Contents, CINHAL, and Cancerlit. reviewed between 4, 1998 June 30, 1998. Univariate multivariate analysis performed association abstract characteristics acceptance presentation at publication. Results: Fifty-five percent (247/451) accepted presentation. In univariate analysis, pediatric studies, prospective randomized studies from university-affiliated medical centers (UAMC), more likely be ( p 0.01), 0.005), 0.06), UAMC 0.01) predicted meeting. overall rate 25.1%. rates 1, 2, 3, 4 years after 6.7%, 16.2%, 22.8%, 25.1%, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards showed that 0.0003) reporting positive results 0.0015), outside United States 0.036) published manuscript form. Conclusions: is 25%, lower than any report other societies. Abstracts less Although there no outcome bias meeting, toward statistically significant results.
