The Society for Education in Anesthesia (SEA) promotes dissemination of discoveries and innovations. We investigated the rate of publication of SEA Spring Meeting abstracts, hypothesizing that Research abstracts were published more frequently than Innovative Curriculum abstracts. We also studied the time between abstract presentation and publication and tracked the journals in which they were published.
All abstracts presented at SEA spring meetings from 2011-2019 were included. We searched PubMed for published articles that were based on those SEA abstracts. We calculated the overall publication rate and the respective publication rates for Research and Innovative Curriculum abstracts. We calculated odds ratio (OR) and performed the Pearson χ test to compare publication rates between Research abstracts and Innovative Curriculum abstracts. We calculated the mean number of years between meeting presentation and publication and tabulated the number of works published in each journal.
A total of 351 abstracts (128 Research and 223 Curriculum) were presented at SEA spring meetings. The overall publication rate was 15% (52/351). Research abstracts were published more frequently than Curriculum abstracts: 24.2% (31/128) versus 9.4% (21/223); OR = 3.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.7-5.6); P = .0003. The mean time from presentation to publication was 1.7 ± 1.3 years. The works appeared in 20 different journals.
SEA Spring Meeting abstracts were published less frequently than abstracts from other medical professional society meetings (21%-72.3%). Although the lower publication rate of Innovative Curriculum abstracts unique to the SEA meeting largely explains this shortfall, a relatively low publication rate, even for the Research abstracts, signals opportunities for growth.
麻醉教育协会（SEA）促进研究成果与创新的传播。我们调查了SEA春季会议摘要的发表率，假设研究摘要的发表频率高于创新课程摘要。我们还研究了摘要发表与会议展示之间的时间间隔，并追踪了发表这些摘要的期刊。
纳入2011年至2019年在SEA春季会议上展示的所有摘要。我们在PubMed中搜索基于这些SEA摘要发表的文章。我们计算了总体发表率以及研究摘要和创新课程摘要各自的发表率。我们计算了优势比（OR）并进行了Pearson χ检验，以比较研究摘要和创新课程摘要之间的发表率。我们计算了会议展示与发表之间的平均年数，并列出了在每种期刊上发表的作品数量。
SEA春季会议共展示了351篇摘要（128篇研究摘要和223篇课程摘要）。总体发表率为15%（52/351）。研究摘要的发表频率高于课程摘要：24.2%（31/128）对9.4%（21/223）；OR = 3.1（95%置信区间，1.7 - 5.6）；P = .0003。从展示到发表的平均时间为1.7 ± 1.3年。这些作品发表在20种不同的期刊上。
SEA春季会议摘要的发表频率低于其他医学专业协会会议的摘要（21% - 72.3%）。尽管SEA会议特有的创新课程摘要发表率较低在很大程度上解释了这一差距，但即使是研究摘要，其相对较低的发表率也预示着有增长的机会。
