| description | ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to determine the publication rate of abstracts presented at the Société Internationale d’Urologie (SIU) Congress and to analyse the characteristics associated with conversion to publication.
MethodsAll abstracts from the 36th Congress of the Société Internationale d’Urologie were identified from the published 2016 abstract book. A PubMed search was performed using key words and author names to identify published journal articles corresponding with the presented abstracts.
ResultsThe conversion rate of presented abstracts to publication by April 2022 was 30.73% (224 of 729). Many abstracts were published prior to presentation (35.27%, 79 of 224). The average time to publication of abstracts published post presentation was 16.88 months. The majority of abstracts were presented in urology-specific journals (66.96%, 150 of 224). Publishing journals had an average impact factor of 3.068 with Urology (18 of 224) and Worl d Journal of Urology (8 of 224) being the most common journals. Moderated ePosters had the highest conversion rate to publication (39.59%), whilst Unmoderated Videos had the lowest (11.32%). The abstract book assigned presentation topic groups to the moderated ePoster category; the most published abstract topic was sexual function (68.75%, 11 of 16).
ConclusionsThe conversion rate of abstracts presented at the SIU to publications in peer-reviewed journals has shown improvement since previous reports; however, it remains lower than the rates associated with other major urological conferences. Almost 70% of presented abstracts do not convert to publication and this should be considered when incorporating abstract findings into clinical practice |
