To determine the publication rate of abstracts presented at the annual meetings of the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) from 2011 through 2014 and to compare the level of evidence (LoE) between published and unpublished studies.
A comprehensive search was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar for all abstracts given as podium presentations at the 2011 through 2014 AANA Annual Meetings. A publication rate was calculated from all presented abstracts. Each abstract was reviewed to determine the study's LoE (I-V or nonclinical). Among published studies, the average time from presentation to publication was calculated. The journals in which these studies were published were also noted.
A total of 290 abstracts were given as podium presentations at AANA Annual Meetings from 2011 through 2014. Of the 290 studies presented, 195 (195/290, 67%) were published in peer-reviewed journals. Of the 195 published studies, 184 (184/195, 94%) were published within 3 years of the meeting date. Studies were most frequently published in Arthroscopy (n = 59) and the American Journal of Sports Medicine (n = 48). The average time from presentation to publication was 12.2 months. Overall, there was no significant difference between published and unpublished studies in terms of LoE (P = .24).
In recent years, studies presented at AANA Annual Meetings have achieved a high publication rate (67%). Based on other studies, this publication rate is comparable to recent American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) Annual Meetings and is higher than that of AANA Annual Meetings from previous years. The level of evidence of presented studies does not necessarily correlate with eventual publication.
The publication rate and level of evidence of podium presentations at AANA demonstrate the scientific impact the annual meeting has for peers pursuing orthopaedic research.
确定 2011 年至 2014 年北美关节镜协会（AANA）年会报告摘要的发表率，并比较已发表和未发表研究的证据水平（LoE）。
使用 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 对 2011 年至 2014 年 AANA 年会上的所有壁报展示摘要进行了全面检索。根据所有提交的摘要计算了发表率。审查每个摘要以确定研究的 LoE（I-V 或非临床）。在已发表的研究中，计算了从展示到发表的平均时间。还注意了这些研究发表的期刊。
2011 年至 2014 年，AANA 年会上共提交了 290 份摘要。在 290 项研究中，195 项（195/290，67%）发表在同行评议期刊上。在 195 篇已发表的研究中，184 项（184/195，94%）在会议日期后 3 年内发表。发表论文最多的是《关节镜》（n=59）和《美国运动医学杂志》（n=48）。从展示到发表的平均时间为 12.2 个月。总体而言，发表和未发表研究的 LoE 之间没有显著差异（P=.24）。
近年来，AANA 年会上报告的研究取得了较高的发表率（67%）。根据其他研究，这一发表率与最近的美国矫形外科学会运动医学年会（AOSSM）相当，高于往年 AANA 年会。提交研究的证据水平不一定与最终发表相关。
AANA 年会壁报展示的发表率和证据水平展示了该年会对从事骨科研究的同行的科学影响力。
