Introduction: the presentation of research at a congress is an interesting means for scientific dissemination, but only with publication in an indexed journal does the data become accessible and disseminated. The conversion rate in published articles of abstracts presented at congresses is an indicator to assess the scientific quality of those events. The aim of this study is to evaluate bibliometric characteristics of abstracts presented at the Brazilian Congress of Coloproctology and to determine the factors that affect publication rates. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of all abstracts presented at the Brazilian Congresses of Coloproctology from 2015 to 2019. Multiple databases were analyzed to estimate the conversion rate of the presented papers, as well as variables associated with the conversion of abstracts into full manuscripts through bivariate analysis and multivariate variables of these predictors. Results: 1756 abstracts were analyzed. Most studies are retrospective, series or case reports, and even personal experience. The conversion rate was 6.9%. The presence of statistical analysis was twice as high for published abstracts as for unpublished ones. Conclusion: the data presented demonstrate a low scientific productivity of the specialty, since the research carried out is, for the most part, not published as complete manuscripts. The predictors of publication of abstracts were: multicenter studies, studies with statistical analysis, study designs with a higher level of evidence and studies awarded by the congress.

RESUMO Introdução: a apresentação de pesquisas em um congresso é meio interessante para disseminação científica, porém apenas com a publicação em revista indexada é que os dados se tornam acessíveis e disseminados. A taxa de conversão em artigos publicados de resumos apresentados em congressos é um indicador para avaliar a qualidade científica de seus eventos. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar características bibliométricas dos resumos apresentados no Congresso Brasileiro de Coloproctologia e determinar os fatores que afetam as taxas de publicação. Métodos: avaliação retrospectiva de todos os resumos apresentados nos Congressos Brasileiros de Coloproctologia dos anos de 2015 a 2019. Análise de múltiplas bases de dados para estimar a taxa de conversão dos trabalhos apresentados, assim como variáveis associadas à conversão dos resumos em manuscritos completos através de análises bivariadas e multivariadas desses preditores. Resultados: foram analisados 1756 resumos. A maioria dos estudos são retrospectivos, séries ou relatos de casos e até experiência pessoal. A taxa de conversão foi de 6,9%. A presença de análise estatística foi o dobro para os resumos publicados frente aos não publicados. Conclusão: os dados apresentados demonstram uma baixa produtividade científica da especialidade, já que as pesquisas realizadas não são publicadas, em sua maioria, como manuscritos completos. Os fatores preditores de publicação dos resumos foram: estudos multicêntricos, estudos contendo análise estatística, desenhos de estudo de maior nível de evidência e estudos premiados pelo congresso.

“…However, these studies often involved the manual review of small subsets of presented abstracts -such as those accepted for plenary presentations. [1][2][3] To date, no study has performed a comprehensive analysis of institutional representation across all accepted ASC abstracts.…”

IntroductionUnderstanding which institutions have a strong research culture is important for trainees, but existing metrics such as NIH funding do not always reflect a trainee’s lived experience. Here, we present a descriptive analysis of accepted abstracts at the Academic Surgical Congress (ASC).MethodsWe analyzed accepted abstracts at the Academic Surgical Congress between 2016 and 2024. We identified institutions with the most accepted abstracts, overall and by year. We also identified institutions with the greatest year-over-year improvement between 2022 and 2024. Finally, we calculated associations between accepted abstracts and NIH funding and also between accepted abstracts and leadership in the ASC’s hosting societies.ResultsA total of 12,142 abstracts were accepted by the ASC between 2016 and 2024. The University of Alabama and the University of Michigan led overall abstract acceptances and also led in most years. Baylor and Massachusetts General Hospital had the greatest absolute and percent year-over-year increase in abstract acceptances in the post-COVID era. There was a positive association between NIH funding and abstract acceptances. Among the top 40 institutions by accepted abstracts in 2024, institutions in the top 10 were over 10 times as likely to have leadership representation in the societies that host the ASC.ConclusionsConference abstracts may serve as a useful measure of trainee-relevant research culture. Trainees can utilize this information when selecting residency programs, and programs can use this information to optimize trainee research experiences.
