The Program Committee of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (AAOS) continually tries to improve the quality of the scientific program at AAOS meetings. However, according to the most recent study, the publication rate of papers presented at the 1996 annual meeting was only 34%.
QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: To quantify the effects of these measures, we determined the 5-year publication rates in peer-reviewed journals of papers presented at the 2001 AAOS annual meeting.
Using the same methods described by Bhandari et al., we performed a comprehensive search of Medline and PubMed for subsequent publications of podium and poster presentations.
The publication rates for all presentations were 49% at 5 years with poster and podium presentations at 47% and 52%, respectively. Among subspecialty divisions, the highest rate of publication was the sports medicine and arthroscopy category with 58% and the lowest was in the rehabilitative medicine category with 21%.
Less than 50% of abstracts presented at the 2001 AAOS annual meeting were published in the peer-reviewed literature at 5 years. As many studies presented will not pass the scrutiny of peer review, the information presented at the AAOS annual meeting should not be used as the sole guide to clinic practice.
美国骨科外科学会（AAOS）的计划委员会一直在努力提高 AAOS 会议的科学计划质量。然而，根据最近的一项研究，1996 年年会提交论文的发表率仅为 34%。
问题/目的：为了量化这些措施的效果，我们确定了 2001 年 AAOS 年会提交的论文在同行评议期刊上的 5 年发表率。
我们使用 Bhandari 等人描述的相同方法，在 Medline 和 PubMed 上全面搜索后续发表的演讲和海报展示。
所有演示的发表率为 5 年时的 49%，海报和演讲的发表率分别为 47%和 52%。在专业分科中，发表率最高的是运动医学和关节镜类别，为 58%，最低的是康复医学类别，为 21%。
在 2001 年 AAOS 年会上提交的不到 50%的摘要在 5 年内发表在同行评议文献中。由于许多提交的研究都无法通过同行评审的审查，因此 AAOS 年会上提交的信息不应作为临床实践的唯一指南。
