“…Several studies of academic conferences in other surgical subspecialties revealed publication rates of 31.1% at the British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists annual meeting, 69.9% at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual meeting and 54% at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association annual meeting. 16–18 The studies from other national subspecialty organizations are in line with our findings for the AUA Annual Meeting. Additionally, the publication rate for RCTs in our study was 65.6%, which is comparable to past analysis of RCT publication.…”

“…Our finding that many abstracts were published in advance of presentation is a common finding among academic conferences, and this trend has been observed in the past at the AUA Annual Meeting. 6,16,18 The time to publication, while similar to past AUA Annual Meeting studies, is much shorter than recent studies in other surgical subspecialties: 19.4 months at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association annual meeting and 18.8 months at the British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists annual meeting. 6,16,18 This may suggest that AUA Annual Meeting abstracts that achieve publication may be closer to a final product than at other academic conferences.…”

:Introduction:Our primary aim was to characterize eventual publication of presented American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting oncology abstracts from 1997 to 2017. We hypothesized that the percentage of abstracts presented at the AUA Annual Meeting that became published peer-reviewed manuscripts increased over time.Methods:AUA Annual Meeting abstracts in “oncology” categories from 1997 to 2017 were identified. A random sample of 100 abstracts per year were assessed for publication. An abstract was considered “published” if 1) first and last author of the abstract were included on publication, 2) abstract and publication shared 1 conclusion, and 3) publication occurred from 1 year prior to the AUA Annual Meeting up to 10 years after. The search was conducted on PubMed® utilizing the MEDLINE® database.Results:Over the 20-year observation period, 2,100 abstracts were reviewed and 56.3% were published. The number of journals in which manuscripts were published increased from 1997 to 2017 (R2=0.58, p <0.001), although here wasn’t an increased publication rate for AUA Annual Meeting abstracts. Median time to publication was 1.1 years (IQR: 0.6–2.2). Median impact factor (IF) of publications was 3.3 (IQR 2.4–4.7). There was a decrease in median IF with longer interval to publication, from 3.6 within 1 year to 2.8 at more than 3 years (p=0.0003). Publications from multi-institutional abstracts had a higher mean IF (3.7 vs 3.1, p <0.0001).Conclusions:The majority of oncology abstracts presented at the AUA Annual Meeting are published. Despite growth in the number of journals and rise in IF among top urology journals, the rate of publication and IF were stable over time.

Background Knowledge dissemination is paramount so physicians may practice the most up-to-date, evidence-based medicine to best serve their patients. Medical conferences are a commonly employed method of facilitating this. By determining the publication rate of research presented at a conference, the quality of the conference is indirectly assessed. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the publication rate, along with other conference metrics, of abstracts presented at the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (CSOHNS) meetings from 2008 to 2018. Methods All abstracts presented at the CSOHNS Annual Meetings from 2008 to 2018 were reviewed from publicly available records. Presentation year, presentation type (i.e. oral or poster), whether each abstract was presented in the Poliquin Resident Research Competition, and the country in which the lead author’s institution was located, were collected. Publication status of each abstract was then determined using a six-tiered search strategy in PubMed and Google Scholar. All data were then analyzed using SPSS Version 27.0. Results From 2008 to 2018, 1947 abstracts were analyzed, yielding an overall publication rate of 58.7%. There was a significantly increasing trend in publication rate over the 11 years (p = 0.015). The rate of publication differed based on type of presentation (oral 65.1%, poster 50.2%; p = 0.001). Most presentations were presented by a first author associated with a Canadian institution (94.4%). The top journal in which research was published was Journal of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery (37.3%). The mean impact factor of the journals in which presentations were published was 2.92. Finally, the median time to publication was 14 months (IQR: 9.0–25.0). Conclusions Research presented at 2008–2018 CSOHNS annual meetings was published in academic journals at higher rates than research at comparable conferences. Oral presentations have a significantly greater publication rate, compared to poster presentations. Additionally, the upward trend in publication rate over the 11 meetings suggests a steady increase in the quality of research being presented. Graphical abstract
