Full publication of abstracts presented at scientific meetings ranges from 25-74%. To determine the rate and factors associated with publication in organ transplantation, we examined abstracts presented at the American Transplant Congress in May 2000. Of 1147 abstracts, 607 (53%) achieved full publication at 4.5 years (mean 1.32 +/- 0.88 years). Fifty-nine percent (357/607) were published in three transplantation journals. For randomized trials, the proportion published was 61%. On multivariate analysis, industry sponsorship (OR 1.78; 95% CI 1.04-3.06), basic science research (OR 1.68; 95% CI 1.32-2.14), non-American center (OR 1.67; 95% CI 1.28-2.20) and oral presentation (OR 1.36; 95% CI 1.07-1.73) were independent predictors of full publication. Nearly half of all abstracts presented at a transplantation meeting remain unpublished. This finding needs to be considered when interpreting systematic reviews in the field of transplantation.
在科学会议上发表的摘要全文比例在25%至74%之间。为了确定器官移植领域摘要发表的比例及相关因素，我们研究了2000年5月美国移植大会上发表的摘要。在1147篇摘要中，607篇（53%）在4.5年时实现了全文发表（平均1.32±0.88年）。其中59%（357/607）发表在三种移植期刊上。对于随机试验，发表比例为61%。多因素分析显示，行业资助（比值比1.78；95%置信区间1.04 - 3.06）、基础科学研究（比值比1.68；95%置信区间1.32 - 2.14）、非美国中心（比值比1.67；95%置信区间1.28 - 2.20）和口头报告（比值比1.36；95%置信区间1.07 - 1.73）是全文发表的独立预测因素。在移植会议上发表的所有摘要中，近一半仍未发表。在解释移植领域的系统评价时，这一发现需要加以考虑。
