This study aims to determine the publication rates of oral presentations and posters presented at Turkish National Rhinology Congresses in the medical journals and to make a comparison with related literature data.
The name and surname of the first authors and the title of presentation presented at 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 were searched using PubMed, Turkmedline and Ulakbim national search engines.
Of the 218 papers presented, 61 (28%) were published. The mean time from presentation at congress to publication was 21.8 months. The mean time to publication for oral presentations was 23.2 months, while it was 20.8 months for poster presentations. The publication rates of oral and poster presentations were 35.8% and 24.5%, respectively, indicating no statistically significant difference between two groups (p=0.08). The publication rate of research articles was statistically significantly higher than that of case reports (20.7% vs. 33.3%; p=0.04).
The publication rate of presentations presented at four Turkish National Rhinology Congresses is lower compared to the previously reported publication rates in otorhinolaryngology. Giving wider publicity to research presentations and being more selective for case reports will provide inclusion of more qualified papers with high possibility of publication and also enhance the scientific value of such congresses.
本研究旨在确定在土耳其全国鼻科学大会上进行的口头报告和壁报展示在医学期刊上的发表率，并与相关文献数据进行比较。
使用PubMed、Turkmedline和Ulakbim国家搜索引擎搜索2007年、2008年、2009年和2010年报告的第一作者姓名和展示标题。
在提交的218篇论文中，61篇（28%）发表。从大会展示到发表的平均时间为21.8个月。口头报告的平均发表时间为23.2个月，而壁报展示为20.8个月。口头报告和壁报展示的发表率分别为35.8%和24.5%，两组之间无统计学显著差异（p=0.08）。研究文章的发表率在统计学上显著高于病例报告（20.7%对33.3%；p=0.04）。
与先前报道的耳鼻喉科发表率相比，土耳其四次全国鼻科学大会上展示的发表率较低。更广泛地宣传研究展示并对病例报告更具选择性，将有助于纳入更有可能发表的高质量论文，并提高此类大会的科学价值。
