More than half of paediatric radiology research presented at annual conference meetings between 2010-2012 remains unpublished. It is unclear if there are any improvements in this statistic despite some initiatives to improve awareness of the importance of evidence-based medicine.
To determine the abstract to publication rates (APRs) originating from recent paediatric radiology meetings, trends in research topics and factors associated with publication success.
All PubMed cited articles originating from oral presentations at European Society of Paediatric Radiology, Society for Paediatric Radiology or International Paediatric Radiology conferences between 2013-2016 were evaluated, and compared to those from previously published data from the same conferences dated 2010-2012. Publication rates, study design and topic as well as characteristics of the research group (e.g., author affiliations and number) were evaluated and compared between published and unpublished groups.
The APR increased to 433/937 (46%) for abstracts presented between 2013-2016, compared to 300/715 (42%) in 2010-2012 (P=0.094). The largest proportion of publications comes from academic and tertiary centres (324/433 [75%]). International collaboration increased to 49/433 (11%) from 18/300 (6%) in 2010-2012 (P=0.018). A greater proportion of work was published within 12 months of conference: 41% in 2013-2016, compared to 29% in 2010-2012 (P=0.02). Paediatric Radiology remained the most popular destination journal, publishing 167/433 (39%) articles.
There was a slight increase over time in the proportion of abstracts that resulted in publication, yet more than half of abstracts still do not reach publication status. Further work should identify how radiologists (particularly those outside tertiary and academic centres) can be supported to share their research.
2010-2012 年期间，在年度会议上展示的儿科放射学研究中，超过一半的研究仍未发表。尽管采取了一些措施来提高对循证医学重要性的认识，但尚不清楚这一统计数据是否有所改善。
确定最近儿科放射学会议上的摘要发表率（APR）、研究主题趋势以及与发表成功相关的因素。
评估了 2013-2016 年期间欧洲儿科放射学会、儿科放射学会或国际儿科放射学会会议上的口头报告中引用的所有 PubMed 文章，并与同期会议（2010-2012 年）上发表的已发表数据进行比较。评估了发表组和未发表组之间的发表率、研究设计和主题以及研究小组的特征（例如，作者的隶属关系和数量），并进行了比较。
与 2010-2012 年（300/715[42%]）相比，2013-2016 年期间提交的摘要的 APR 增加至 433/937（46%）（P=0.094）。最大比例的出版物来自学术和三级中心（324/433[75%]）。国际合作从 2010-2012 年的 18/300（6%）增加到 49/433（11%）（P=0.018）。在会议后 12 个月内发表的工作比例更大：2013-2016 年为 41%，而 2010-2012 年为 29%（P=0.02）。儿科放射学仍然是最受欢迎的目标期刊，发表了 167/433（39%）的文章。
随着时间的推移，摘要发表率略有上升，但仍有一半以上的摘要未达到发表状态。进一步的工作应确定如何支持放射科医生（特别是非三级和学术中心的放射科医生）分享他们的研究。
