Very little is known about publication rates of emergency ultrasound abstracts as peer-reviewed manuscripts in the years after their presentation at national meetings. The objectives of this study were to determine trends in publication patterns of emergency ultrasound abstracts presented at Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and American College of Emergency Physicians annual national meetings as full indexed articles in peer-reviewed journals and compare emergency ultrasound with emergency medical services (EMS) and toxicology subspecialties.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at an academic medical center. All emergency ultrasound, EMS, and toxicology abstracts presented at both national meetings from 1999 to 2008 were entered into a database. An online PubMed/MEDLINE search was performed for full-length peer-reviewed manuscript publications corresponding to these abstracts. The proportion of abstracts presented, manuscript publication rate, time to publication, type of journal (emergency medicine versus non-emergency medicine), and journal impact factor were compared across the 3 subspecialties.
Over the 10-year period, 452 emergency ultrasound, 651 EMS, and 376 toxicology abstracts were presented at both meetings. The proportion of abstracts presented from 1999 to 2008 increased significantly for emergency ultrasound (1.7% versus 6.5%) compared with toxicology (3.5% versus 4.9%) and EMS (8.1% versus 5.8%; P < .01). There were no significant differences in manuscript publication rates between emergency ultrasound (22.8%), EMS (23.4%), and toxicology (20.7%). No significant differences were found in the time to publication (P = .53) and journal type (P = .2) between the 3 subspecialties.
The emergency ultrasound manuscript publication rate and mean time to publication compare favorably with EMS and toxicology subspecialties.
在会议之后，将急诊超声摘要发表为同行评审的简体中文全文文献的出版率非常低。本研究的目的是确定在学术急诊医学学会和美国急诊医师学会年会上发表的急诊超声摘要作为同行评审期刊上的索引全文文章的发表模式趋势，并将急诊超声与急诊医疗服务（EMS）和毒理学亚专科进行比较。
在一家学术医疗中心进行了一项横断面研究。将 1999 年至 2008 年在这两个全国会议上提交的所有急诊超声、EMS 和毒理学摘要输入到数据库中。针对这些摘要进行了在线 PubMed/MEDLINE 搜索，以查找对应的全文同行评审手稿出版物。比较了 3 个亚专科的提交摘要的比例、手稿出版率、出版时间、期刊类型（急诊医学与非急诊医学）和期刊影响因子。
在 10 年期间，这两个会议共提交了 452 篇急诊超声、651 篇 EMS 和 376 篇毒理学摘要。1999 年至 2008 年提交摘要的比例，与毒理学（3.5%比 4.9%）和 EMS（8.1%比 5.8%）相比，急诊超声（1.7%比 6.5%）显著增加（P<.01）。急诊超声（22.8%）、EMS（23.4%）和毒理学（20.7%）的手稿出版率无显著差异。在出版时间（P=0.53）和期刊类型（P=0.2）方面，3 个亚专科之间也没有显著差异。
急诊超声手稿出版率和平均出版时间与 EMS 和毒理学亚专科相比具有优势。
