The domain of emergency medicine (EM) is not only rapidly evolving but also witnessing a significant surge in research publications, particularly in Türkiye. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the publication outcomes of abstracts presented at national EM conferences and evaluate the quality of these publications, thereby contributing to the understanding of the evolving landscape of EM research in Türkiye.
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of our findings, we meticulously examined abstracts presented at the annual conferences organized by the EM Association of Türkiye and Emergency Physicians Association of Türkiye from January 2015 to December 2021. We screened public databases such as Web of Science, SCOPUS, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ULAKBIM to identify any subsequent publications of these abstracts. The data on publication dates, and journal impact factors were thoroughly analyzed.
The study included 10,055 abstracts, comprising 3794 (37.7%) oral presentations and 6261 (62.3%) poster presentations. Of these, 829 abstracts (8.2%) were later published as full publications in journals indexed in at least one major database. Among the published articles, 36 (4.3%) appeared in Q1 journals, while 346 (41.6%) were published in journals without quartile rankings. The median duration until publication was observed to be 12 months.
The publication rate for abstracts presented at EM conferences was 8%, with most articles published within 2 years. Oral presentations had a higher publication rate than poster presentations, indicating higher quality. The authors' affiliations and the studies' designs emerged as pivotal factors influencing the success of publication.
急诊医学（EM）领域不仅在迅速发展，而且研究出版物数量也在大幅激增，尤其是在土耳其。在此背景下，本研究旨在调查在全国急诊医学会议上发表的摘要的出版成果，并评估这些出版物的质量，从而有助于了解土耳其急诊医学研究的发展态势。
为确保研究结果的准确性和可靠性，我们仔细审查了2015年1月至2021年12月期间由土耳其急诊医学协会和土耳其急诊医师协会组织的年度会议上发表的摘要。我们筛选了诸如科学网、Scopus、PubMed、谷歌学术和土耳其国家学术数据库等公共数据库，以确定这些摘要随后的任何出版物。对出版日期和期刊影响因子的数据进行了全面分析。
该研究纳入了10,055篇摘要，其中包括3794篇（37.7%）口头报告和6261篇（62.3%）海报展示。其中，829篇摘要（8.2%）后来作为完整出版物发表在至少一个主要数据库索引的期刊上。在已发表的文章中，36篇（4.3%）发表在Q1期刊上，而346篇（41.6%）发表在没有四分位数排名的期刊上。观察到出版前的中位时长为12个月。
在急诊医学会议上发表的摘要的出版率为8%，大多数文章在2年内发表。口头报告的出版率高于海报展示，表明质量更高。作者的所属机构和研究设计是影响出版成功的关键因素。
