Publication Outcomes of Abstracts Presented at Meetings of the American Society of Retina Specialists

Puntos clave

The publication rate for abstracts presented at ASRS meetings was 59.6%, showing significant implications for future studies.
Oral presentation types and larger sample sizes resulted in odds ratios of 1.78 and 1.57 respectively, enhancing publication chances.
Analysis involved multivariate logistic regression to determine which abstract characteristics improve outcomes.
The findings suggest that university affiliations positively influence publication rates and timelines in retina research.

Resumen

Purpose: To assess the publication outcomes of abstracts presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) meetings and identify characteristics associated with a more favorable publication rate, impact factor, and time to publication. Methods: We recorded abstract characteristics for abstracts presented at the 2017 and 2018 ASRS meetings and conducted a PubMed search to identify matching publications. We used descriptive statistics, univariate χ 2 test, and multivariate logistic and linear regression to analyze outcomes and associations. Results: Of the 572 analyzed abstracts, 59.6% (341/572) were translated into publications, resulting in a median impact factor of 3.6 and time to publication of 466 days. Oral presentation, sample size greater than 100, and university affiliation for multivariate logistic regression predicted a higher publication rate, with odds ratios of 1.78 (95% CI, 1.19-2.65), 1.57 (95% CI, 1.03-2.38), and 1.56 (95% CI, 1.06-2.30), respectively. In multivariate linear regression, the presenting author holding an MD or DO credential was significantly related to faster time to publication. Conclusions: The publication rate was 59.6%, with an increased likelihood of publication for those with a university affiliation, sample size greater than 100, or oral presentation type.
