description Overview: The inaugural Dubai Health Research Conference (DHRC) was held from November 15 to 17th, 2024, during which a diverse range of research topics were presented, reflecting the commitment of Dubai Health and the broader UAE to advancing healthcare through innovation and interdisciplinary research. The conference covered a broad spectrum of disciplines including basic biomedical science, translational research, clinical studies, public health, digital health, artificial intelligence in healthcare, surgical innovations, health professions education, quality improvement, and policy development. The objective of the conference was to showcase state-of-the-art research in which members of Dubai Health were actively involved, both locally in Dubai and internationally. Methods: Abstracts were submitted to the Conference Scientific Committee and underwent a peer-review process. Selected abstracts were classified for either oral presentations or poster presentations. Each submission followed a structured abstract format with sections for Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. For Case Reports, the Methods and Results sections were replaced by Case Report. Consent to publish the abstract was obtained from the corresponding authors. Previously published abstracts were excluded, to ensure compliance with the journal’s copyright policies. Additionally, those abstracts that seemed unsuitable for publication and for which consent was not obtained, were excluded. Results: A total of 316 abstracts were submitted, of which 32 were accepted for oral presentations and 235 for poster presentations. Of the 267 abstracts presented at the conference, 55 were excluded from these published proceedings (49 previously published, 3 unsuitable, 2 without consent and 1 not completed abstract). As a result, 212 abstracts were included in this compilation, consisting of 23 oral presentations (10.8%) and 189 poster presentations (89.2%). Conclusion: This collection of abstracts from the 2024 Dubai Health Research Conference provides a comprehensive overview of the cutting-edge research conducted by faculty, clinicians, staff, and learners at Dubai Health. It highlights not only the institution’s dedication to advancing healthcare through research but also Dubai and the UAE’s commitment to promoting improved health outcomes through interdisciplinary discovery and innovation. This proceedings compilation reflects the growing momentum in research excellence across a variety of healthcare domains, and positions Dubai Health as a leading hub for scientific inquiry and healthcare advancement in the region.
