Meetings of the European Society for Pediatric Urology (ESPU) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are held annually to promote dissemination of new research findings among practitioners. We conducted an observational study determining the rate of duplicate research presentations at the two meetings.
A systematic, in-year, cross reference analysis of all clinical and basic research presentations at the ESPU and AAP meetings, for the years 2006-2009, was conducted. The search strategy included abstract title, authorship, country of origin, institution, study design, significance, and sample size. Three reviewers independently abstracted all data. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus.
In total, 566 abstracts were presented at the four ESPU meetings. Of these, 23 (4.1%) were also presented at an AAP meeting: 2 of 137 (1.5%) were represented in 2006, 6 of 139 (4.3%) in 2007, 6 of 126 (4.8%) in 2008, and 9 of 164 (5.5%) in 2009. Duplicate presentations were altered by changing the title (57%), adding or removing authors (48%), or changing authorship order (63%) or sample size (22%). Agreement between reviewers was above 90% (kappa = 0.913).
Although there was only a 4% duplicate presentation rate between the studied ESPU and AAP meetings, our results suggest a trend toward increasing duplication over the past 4 years.
欧洲小儿外科学会（ESPU）和美国儿科学会（AAP）每年举行会议，以促进从业者之间新研究发现的传播。我们进行了一项观察性研究，以确定这两个会议上重复研究报告的比例。
对 2006 年至 2009 年 ESPU 和 AAP 会议的所有临床和基础研究报告进行了系统的、逐年的交叉参考分析。搜索策略包括摘要标题、作者、原籍国、机构、研究设计、意义和样本量。三名审查员独立提取所有数据。通过共识解决差异。
共有 566 篇摘要在四次 ESPU 会议上发表。其中 23 篇（4.1%）也在 AAP 会议上发表：2006 年有 2 篇（1.5%），2007 年有 6 篇（4.3%），2008 年有 6 篇（4.8%），2009 年有 9 篇（5.5%）。重复报告通过更改标题（57%）、添加或删除作者（48%）、更改作者顺序（63%）或样本量（22%）进行了修改。审查员之间的一致性超过 90%（kappa=0.913）。
尽管研究中的 ESPU 和 AAP 会议之间只有 4%的重复报告率，但我们的结果表明，过去 4 年来，重复报告的趋势呈上升趋势。
