Abstract

Objectives Scientific abstracts are a common method for disseminating new research. There is no information on the publication rate of orthopaedic surgery abstracts presented at the annual Veterinary Orthopedic Society (VOS) Conference. The objectives of this study were to document the publication rate, the publication timeline and the level of evidence (LoE) of abstracts presented at an annual orthopaedic meeting.

Study Design All conference abstracts from the 2001 to 2014 annual VOS meeting were reviewed, and final publication was determined through a comprehensive bibliographic search.

Results Over 14 conferences, 1,112 scientific abstracts were presented with an overall publication rate of 47%. The majority of abstracts had low LoE scores, and those abstracts were published less timely than ones with higher LoE scores. Once presented, most abstracts took 1 year to be submitted and 2 years to be published. Dog (45%) and ex vivo (19%) studies were the most common. Publication occurred most frequently in Veterinary Surgery (40%), Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology (17%) and the American Journal of Veterinary Research (12%).

Conclusion The publication rate for abstracts presented at the annual VOS meeting is lower than those from a more generalized veterinary surgery conference. Publication occurs most frequently in a select group of journals, and the subject matter is limited in scope with a focus on dog and ex vivo studies. Overall, most abstracts presented at VOS contain a lower LoE.

在年度兽医骨科学会上发表的论文摘要的发表率和基于证据的评估。

摘要

目标 科学摘要是传播新研究的常用方法。没有有关在年度兽医骨科协会（VOS）大会上发表的骨科手术摘要出版率的信息。这项研究的目的是记录在每年一次的骨科会议上发表的摘要的发表率，发表的时间表和摘要的证据水平（LoE）。

研究设计 回顾了2001年至2014年VOS年度会议的所有会议摘要，并通过全面的书目搜索确定了最终出版物。

结果 在14个会议中，发表了1,112篇科学摘要，总体发表率为47％。大多数摘要具有较低的LoE分数，与那些具有较高LoE分数的摘要相比，这些摘要的发布时间不够及时。提交摘要后，大多数摘要需要1年的提交时间和2年的发布时间。狗（45％）和离体（19％）研究是最常见的。在兽医学（40％），兽医和比较骨科和创伤学（17％）和《美国兽医研究杂志》（12％）中，出版物的发表频率最高。

结论 年度VOS会议上发表的摘要的发表率低于更广泛的兽医外科会议的摘要发表率。出版在精选的一组期刊中最频繁发生，并且该主题的范围受到限制，重点是狗和离体研究。总体而言，在VOS上展示的大多数摘要都包含较低的LoE。
