Oral and poster presentations held at national and international congresses are recognized as valuable tools for sharing current scientific data and experience among physicians. However, a large proportion of these works fail to be published in scientific journals. We have designed a study to identify the publication rate of presentations held at the 7 National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2009.
A systematic search of databases was performed using author names and key words from the abstract title to locate publications in peer-reviewed journals corresponding to the presentations held at the 7 National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Information regarding mode of presentation, topic, type of affiliation, name and impact factor of the scientific journal, change in author names and time elapsed between presentation and publication were recorded and analyzed statistically.
Of 243 abstracts that were presented at the congress, 45 papers (18.5%) were published in international peer-reviewed journals, whereas 39 (16%) were published in national journals. The mean time to publication was 17±2 months for international and 11±4 months for national journals (p=0.102). The international publication rate of oral presentations was significantly higher than that of poster presentations (50% vs. 16.2%; p<0.03). The manuscripts were published in a total of 21 journals, with four journals accounting for 49% of the publications. The comparison of the publication rates of the universities with other institutions has yielded no significant difference.
Alltough a significant proportion of the abstracts presented in the 7 National Gynecology and Obstetrics Congress have been succesfully converted to publication overall, only a limited percentage of all abstracts have been published in international peer-reviewed journals. The relatively higher conversion to international publication rate of the oral presentations show that they are of higher interest and clinical relevance.
在国内和国际大会上进行的口头报告和壁报展示被认为是医生之间分享当前科学数据和经验的重要工具。然而，这些成果中有很大一部分未能在科学期刊上发表。我们设计了一项研究，以确定2009年第七届全国妇产科学术会议上展示的报告的发表率。
通过使用作者姓名以及摘要标题中的关键词对数据库进行系统检索，以查找与第七届全国妇产科学术会议上展示的报告相对应的同行评审期刊上的出版物。记录并统计分析有关展示方式、主题、所属机构类型、科学期刊名称和影响因子、作者姓名变化以及展示与发表之间的时间间隔等信息。
在大会上展示的243篇摘要中，45篇论文（18.5%）发表在国际同行评审期刊上，而39篇（16%）发表在国内期刊上。国际期刊的平均发表时间为17±2个月，国内期刊为11±4个月（p = 0.102）。口头报告的国际发表率显著高于壁报展示（50%对16.2%；p<0.03）。这些稿件共发表在21种期刊上，其中四种期刊发表的文章占总数的49%。大学与其他机构的发表率比较无显著差异。
尽管第七届全国妇产科学术会议上展示的摘要中有很大一部分总体上成功转化为出版物，但所有摘要中只有有限比例发表在国际同行评审期刊上。口头报告相对较高的国际发表转化率表明它们更受关注且具有更高的临床相关性。
