“…6,7 While a higher LoE has been shown to positively impact the publication process, one must consider the limitations of LoE assignment. 3,4,12 Currently, there are multiple grading schemes available with no clear consensus in veterinary medicine regarding the best method to critically evaluate clinical studies. 3,4,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Therefore, it is possible that the use of an alternative system may have provided different results than those reported in this study.…”

However, failure to report study design, disparity between stated study design and what is described within the abstract, and insufficient detail to determine study design all offer challenges when using a system, like the one in this study, with abstracts.…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the publication rate (PR) and report descriptive findings from abstracts presented at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), the Veterinary Orthopaedic Society (VOS), and those presented at both conferences. Study Design All conference abstracts from 2001 to 2010 ACVS and VOS meetings were reviewed. PR in peer-reviewed journals was evaluated and compared between Group 1 (abstracts presented at ACVS only; n = 1,277), Group 2 (abstracts presented at VOS only; n = 645), and Group 3 (abstracts presented at both conferences; n = 121) abstracts. Abstracts were assigned a level of evidence (LoE) score. Results Approximately 6% of all abstracts evaluated were presented at two scientific meetings (Group 3). The PR of Group 1 (66%) and Group 3 (62%) abstracts was significantly higher than that of Group 2 (45%). The majority of abstracts were assigned a low LoE (3 or 4). Once presented, most Group 3 abstracts took <12 months to be submitted and <24 months to be published. Conclusion This study found that a limited number of abstracts were presented at both ACVS and VOS, and PR was significantly different between those presented at ACVS only or both ACVS and VOS compared with VOS only. There was no significant difference in PR between Group 1 and Group 3 abstracts. This study has provided the initial comparison between abstracts presented at two veterinary surgical conferences.

“…Specialty veterinary medicine society meetings are common platforms to disseminate preliminary research data, often before submission to and publication in peer‐reviewed journals. Abstracts present initial research findings and undergo preliminary screening by colleagues but do not undergo extensive peer review 1–3 . Abstract data may be presented at annual meetings but may never subsequently be published as a full‐length, peer‐reviewed articles or may undergo extensive revision before publication in a peer‐reviewed journal 1 .…”

Objective To determine the rate of full‐length publication for the 2004‐2019 Veterinary Endoscopy Society (VES) annual meeting abstracts and to identify abstract and author characteristics as predictors of publication. Study design Observational bibliographical study. Sample population Three hundred and eighty‐nine abstracts. Methods Abstracts from 2004‐2019 Veterinary Endoscopy Society (VES) proceedings and matching full‐length publications retrieved from bibliographic databases were systematically reviewed. Variables assessed included species, specimen type (cadaver, live animal, etc.), subdiscipline (orthopedics, internal medicine, etc.), institution, country of origin, study design, level of evidence (LoE), time to publication, number of authors, their credentials, and gender. Logistic regression, Fisher's exact tests and t‐tests were used to assess the bivariate relationship between publication and characteristics of the authors and publications. Results The overall publication rate for presented abstracts published as full‐length articles in peer‐reviewed journals was 26%. Median time from abstract presentation to full‐length article publication was 430 days. Factors associated with full‐length article publication were identified: affiliated institution (P = .01), species studied (P = .04), subdiscipline focus (P = .01), level of evidence (P = .01), number of authors (P = .01), and first author's gender (P = .03). Conclusion Veterinary Endoscopy Society abstracts were commonly categorized into a lower LoE. Abstracts from academic institutions regarding canine patients and soft tissue surgery topics were more likely to be published. Abstracts citing female first authors or with more than 1 author had higher odds of publication. Clinical significance Data reported provide authors with predictors for publication and identify topics for research opportunities. Veterinary specialty societies may utilize this information when evaluating abstracts.

ObjectivesTo determine the publication rate of abstracts presented at 10 European College of Veterinary Surgeons conferences from 2006 to 2015, report the key publication milestones, and determine variables associated with full manuscript publication.Study designLiterature review.Sample populationOne thousand thirty‐eight abstracts.MethodsAll conference abstracts (n = 1038) from the 2006 to 2015 annual ECVS scientific meetings were reviewed, and final publication was determined through a comprehensive bibliographic search. Categories for the level of evidence (LoE), subject, discipline, and institution affiliation were assigned for each abstract. Dates of manuscript submission, acceptance, and publication were recorded.ResultsThe overall publication rate for ECVS abstracts from 2006 to 2015 was 32%. Abstracts with levels 4 (60%) and 5 (23%) evidence were presented the most at ECVS conferences and had the highest publication rates at 38% and 36%, respectively. Key publication milestones showed that most abstracts (83%) received publication within the first 36 months with most LoE 2 abstracts (91%) being published within 24 months of presentation. Most published abstracts were affiliated with academic institutions (85%), on dog (29%) and horse (27%) subjects, focused on orthopedic (35%) and soft tissue disciplines (27%), and published in Veterinary Surgery (32%).ConclusionThe ECVS abstract publication rate was lower, and timeline was longer to publish than other veterinary surgical conferences. Publication occurred most frequently in academic institutions, in select journals, and was limited to orthopedic, soft‐tissue, dog, and horse studies.Clinical significanceResults from this study may help improve the publication fate of abstracts in veterinary surgery. Additionally, caution is warranted when using information from abstracts that have yet to be published to help guide clinical decisions.
