OBJECTIVE Both the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons Joint Section on Pediatric Neurological Surgery (AANS/CNS Pediatric Section) and the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN) annual meetings provide a platform for pediatric neurosurgeons to present, discuss, and disseminate current academic research. An ultimate goal of these meetings is to publish presented results in peer-reviewed journals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the publication rates of oral presentations from the 2009, 2010, and 2011 AANS/CNS Pediatric Section and ISPN annual meetings in peer-reviewed journals. METHODS All oral presentations from the 2009, 2010, and 2011 AANS/CNS Pediatric Section and ISPN annual meetings were reviewed. Abstracts were obtained from the AANS/CNS Pediatric Section and ISPN conference proceedings, which are available online. Author and title information were used to search PubMed to identify those abstracts that had progressed to publication in peer-reviewed journals. The title of the journal, year of the publication, and authors' country of origin were also recorded. RESULTS Overall, 60.6% of the presented oral abstracts from the AANS/CNS Pediatric Section meetings progressed to publication in peer-reviewed journals, as compared with 40.6% of the ISPN presented abstracts (p = 0.0001). The journals in which the AANS/CNS Pediatric Section abstract-based publications most commonly appeared were Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics (52%), Child's Nervous System (11%), and Journal of Neurosurgery (8%). The ISPN abstracts most often appeared in the journals Child's Nervous System (29%), Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics (14%), and Neurosurgery (9%). Overall, more than 90% of the abstract-based articles were published within 4 years after presentation of the abstracts on which they were based. CONCLUSIONS Oral abstract presentations at two annual pediatric neurosurgery meetings have publication rates in peer-reviewed journal comparable to those for oral abstracts at other national and international neurosurgery meetings. The vast majority of abstract-based papers are published within 4 years of the meeting at which the abstract was presented; however, the AANS/CNS Pediatric Section abstracts are published at a significantly higher rate than ISPN abstracts, which could indicate the different meeting sizes, research goals, and resources of US authors compared with those of authors from other countries.
目的 美国神经外科医师协会/神经外科医师大会小儿神经外科联合分会（AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会）和国际小儿神经外科学会（ISPN）的年会为小儿神经外科医师提供了一个展示、讨论和传播当前学术研究成果的平台。这些会议的最终目标是在同行评审期刊上发表展示的研究成果。本研究的目的是调查2009年、2010年和2011年AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会及ISPN年会的口头报告在同行评审期刊上的发表率。方法 对2009年、2010年和2011年AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会及ISPN年会的所有口头报告进行了回顾。摘要取自AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会和ISPN会议论文集，这些论文集可在线获取。利用作者和标题信息在PubMed上搜索，以确定那些已在同行评审期刊上发表的摘要。还记录了期刊名称、发表年份以及作者的原籍国。结果 总体而言，AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会会议上展示的口头摘要中有60.6%在同行评审期刊上发表，而ISPN展示的摘要这一比例为40.6%（p = 0.0001）。基于AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会摘要发表的论文最常出现的期刊是《神经外科杂志：小儿版》（52%）、《儿童神经系统》（11%）和《神经外科杂志》（8%）。ISPN的摘要最常出现在《儿童神经系统》（29%）、《神经外科杂志：小儿版》（14%）和《神经外科学》（9%）等期刊上。总体而言，超过90%的基于摘要的文章在其摘要展示后的4年内发表。结论 两次小儿神经外科年会的口头摘要在同行评审期刊上的发表率与其他国内和国际神经外科会议的口头摘要发表率相当。绝大多数基于摘要的论文在摘要展示会议后的4年内发表；然而，AANS/CNS小儿神经外科分会的摘要发表率明显高于ISPN的摘要，这可能表明美国作者与其他国家作者在会议规模、研究目标和资源方面存在差异。
