To determine the rate of publication of abstracts presented at the 1994 American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Mid-year Clinical Meeting and the 1994 American College of Clinical Pharmacists (ACCP) Annual Meeting.
Abstracts presented at the 1994 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and the 1994 ACCP Annual Meeting were evaluated for subsequent publication as full articles in journals indexed in MEDLINE, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, and Current Contents.
Five hundred one abstracts presented at the 1994 ASHP Mid-year Clinical Meeting were evaluated; 55 (11%) of these had been published. Two hundred fifteen abstracts presented at the 1994 ACCP Annual Meeting were evaluated; 71 (33%) of these had been published.
The publication rates for abstracts presented at ASHP and ACCP meetings were found to be lower than many of those for other medical groups. The presentation of research abstracts at professional meetings is an integral part of the exchange of scientific information; however, many of the presented abstracts are not subsequently published as full research reports. The failure to publish the results of the studies may limit the ability of a reader to judge the validity, reliability, and generalizability of the research. This could affect the use of the findings in clinical practice and in supporting or refuting other research findings.
确定在1994年美国卫生系统药师协会（ASHP）年中临床会议和1994年美国临床药师学院（ACCP）年会上发表的摘要的发表率。
对在1994年ASHP年中临床会议和1994年ACCP年会上发表的摘要进行评估，看其是否随后作为全文发表在被MEDLINE、《国际药学文摘》和《现刊目次》收录的期刊上。
对在1994年ASHP年中临床会议上发表的501篇摘要进行了评估；其中55篇（11%）已发表。对在1994年ACCP年会上发表的215篇摘要进行了评估；其中71篇（33%）已发表。
发现ASHP和ACCP会议上发表的摘要的发表率低于许多其他医学团体的发表率。在专业会议上展示研究摘要，是科学信息交流不可或缺的一部分；然而，许多展示的摘要随后并未作为完整的研究报告发表。研究结果未能发表可能会限制读者判断研究的有效性、可靠性和普遍性的能力。这可能会影响这些研究结果在临床实践中的应用，以及对其他研究结果的支持或反驳。
