We aimed to determine the publication rate for abstracts presented at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) and the time between abstract presentation and publication. We also aimed to describe the study features influencing subsequent publication and the relationship between these features and journal impact factors (IFs).
All types of accepted abstracts from the 2012 and 2013 IMSH were reviewed. We extracted the following data from each abstract in duplicate: presentation format, subject, type of scholarship, research method, study design, outcome measure, number of institutions in authorship group, and number of study sites. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched (January 1, 2012 to August 1, 2016) using the names of the first, second, and last author for comparison with abstracts. Journal of publication and IF were recorded. Data were summarized with descriptive statistics. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed to explore the association between publication status and other variables.
Of 541 abstracts, 22% (119/541) were published with a median time to publication of 16 months (interquartile range = 8.525), ranging from 0 to 43 months. The study characteristics associated with a greater likelihood of publication were the following: research-type abstract, quantitative studies, randomized trials, studies with patient or healthcare-related outcomes, multiple institutions represented in authorship group, and multicenter studies. Studies with multiple institutions in authorship group and multicenter studies were published in higher IF journals (P < 0.05).
The publication rate of 22% for abstracts presented at IMSH is low, indicative of the relatively new nature of simulation-based research in healthcare.
我们旨在确定在国际医疗保健模拟会议（IMSH）上发表的摘要的发表率以及摘要发表与出版之间的时间间隔。我们还旨在描述影响后续发表的研究特征以及这些特征与期刊影响因子（IFs）之间的关系。
对2012年和2013年IMSH会议上所有类型的录用摘要进行了审查。我们从每份摘要中重复提取以下数据：展示形式、主题、学术类型、研究方法、研究设计、结果指标、作者组中的机构数量以及研究地点数量。使用第一作者、第二作者和最后作者的姓名在PubMed和谷歌学术上进行检索（2012年1月1日至2016年8月1日），以与摘要进行比较。记录发表的期刊和IF。数据用描述性统计进行总结。进行双变量和多变量分析以探讨发表状态与其他变量之间的关联。
在541篇摘要中，22%（119/541）被发表，发表的中位时间为16个月（四分位间距 = 8.5 - 25），范围从0到43个月。与更高发表可能性相关的研究特征如下：研究型摘要、定量研究、随机试验、具有患者或医疗保健相关结果的研究、作者组中有多个机构以及多中心研究。作者组中有多个机构的研究和多中心研究发表在IF较高的期刊上（P < 0.05）。
在IMSH会议上发表的摘要的发表率为22%，较低，这表明医疗保健中基于模拟的研究性质相对较新。
