Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) annual meetings provide opportunities to disseminate cardiothoracic research. We assessed rates of publication of STS abstracts as manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals over five years and determined factors associated with successful publication.
The STS "Annual Meeting Archive" was searched online for abstract books from STS annual meetings from 2015-2019. Abstract books were reviewed for information about presented abstracts. A PubMed and Google search was then performed to identify corresponding peer-reviewed journal publications.
A total of 1451 abstracts were presented at STS annual meetings from 2015-2019. Overall publication rate of accepted abstracts as manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals was 1097/1451=75.60%. Most published manuscripts were published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery (750/1097=68.37%). Median duration between abstract presentation and peer-reviewed journal publication was 313[IQR=212.5-458] days. Only 29/1451=2.00% of abstracts won an award, and all 29 of these award-winning abstracts were published as a manuscript. Oral presentation was associated with increased odds of publication compared to poster presentation (OR=1.28[95% CI=1.04-1.71], p=0.021). Median 5-year impact factor of peer-reviewed journals containing these manuscripts was 5.04[IQR=5.04-5.04], and corresponding manuscripts were cited a median of 4[IQR=1-9] times. Overall, 836/1097=76.20% of manuscripts published in peer-reviewed scientific journals had a corresponding North American author.
Annual STS meetings are a forum for the presentation of high-quality research. The rate of publication of accepted STS abstracts as manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals is >75%, comparing favorably with national meetings of other surgical societies, and >2/3 of published manuscripts are published in STS's official journal.
胸外科医师协会（STS）年会为传播心胸外科研究成果提供了机会。我们评估了五年间STS摘要作为论文发表在同行评审期刊上的比例，并确定了与成功发表相关的因素。
在网上搜索STS“年会档案”中2015 - 2019年年会的摘要集。对摘要集进行审查以获取所展示摘要的信息。随后进行PubMed和谷歌搜索，以确定相应的同行评审期刊出版物。
2015 - 2019年STS年会上共展示了1451篇摘要。被接受的摘要作为论文发表在同行评审期刊上的总体发表率为1097/1451 = 75.60%。大多数发表的论文发表在《胸外科年鉴》上（750/1097 = 68.37%）。摘要展示与同行评审期刊发表之间的中位时长为313[四分位间距（IQR）= 212.5 - 458]天。只有29/1451 = 2.00%的摘要获奖，且所有这29篇获奖摘要均作为论文发表。与海报展示相比，口头展示与更高的发表几率相关（比值比（OR）= 1.28[95%置信区间（CI）= 1.04 - 1.71]，p = 0.021）。收录这些论文的同行评审期刊的中位5年影响因子为5.04[IQR = 5.04 - 5.04]，相应论文的中位被引次数为4[IQR = 1 - 9]次。总体而言，在同行评审科学期刊上发表的论文中，836/1097 = 76.20%有北美作者。
STS年会是展示高质量研究的一个平台。被接受的STS摘要作为论文发表在同行评审期刊上的比例超过75%，与其他外科协会的全国性会议相比具有优势，且超过2/3的发表论文发表在STS的官方期刊上。
