Presentation at national and international meetings is a useful way to disseminate new information. Publication in a peer-reviewed journal remains the gold standard. We analyzed the publication rates of oral presentations from the British and European Hip Society, British Orthopaedic Association, and European Federation of Orthopaedics and Traumatology between 2003 and 2006. Multiple databases were used to identify publication of work presented as an abstract at these meetings. The publishing journal, time until publication, impact factor of publishing journal, and rate of publication identified by each database were analyzed. The overall mean publication rate across the 4 meetings was 23.4%; there were no significant differences between the meetings. Google Scholar (P<.01) and Medline (P<.05) identified significantly more publications than EMBASE. There were no significant differences between the mean impact factors of the publishing journals (P=.18). There were no significant differences in abstract publication rate or impact factor between meetings. The overall mean subsequent publication rates for presented abstracts related to hip surgery were low, and data presented but not yet published should be treated with caution. Google Scholar and Medline are superior to EMBASE for identification of peer-reviewed research.
在国内和国际会议上进行报告是传播新信息的一种有效方式。在同行评审期刊上发表文章仍然是金标准。我们分析了2003年至2006年间英国和欧洲髋关节协会、英国骨科学会以及欧洲骨科学与创伤学联合会的口头报告发表率。使用了多个数据库来确定在这些会议上以摘要形式展示的研究成果的发表情况。对发表期刊、发表所需时间、发表期刊的影响因子以及每个数据库确定的发表率进行了分析。这4次会议的总体平均发表率为23.4%；各会议之间无显著差异。谷歌学术（P<0.01）和医学索引数据库（P<0.05）识别出的发表文章明显多于荷兰医学文摘数据库。发表期刊的平均影响因子之间无显著差异（P=0.18）。各会议之间的摘要发表率或影响因子无显著差异。与髋关节手术相关的已展示摘要的总体平均后续发表率较低，对于已展示但尚未发表的数据应谨慎对待。在识别同行评审研究方面，谷歌学术和医学索引数据库优于荷兰医学文摘数据库。
