METHODS: We used the titles of 6,347 AUA Abstracts to query PubMed for associated manuscripts. To infer publication status from title similarity, an independent rater sampled 300 records to identify whether each Pubmed record was related to an AUA abstract. These ratings were used to fit a logistic regression predicting publication status of AUA abstracts from our title similarity measure (94.5% accurate). Logistic regression models assessed publication rate by author gender, type of presentation, and research category. F-tests were used to analyze impact factor and time-to-publication. RESULTS: 18% of abstracts resulted in publication. In comparing organ of interest, prostate cancer manuscripts resulted in significantly higher impact factor (IF) publications than both bladder (p=0.044) and kidney (p=0.005). Penile cancer had significantly fewer citations per year relative to bladder (p=0.002), kidney (p=0.002), and prostate (p=0.003). The other categories did not significantly differ from each other (ps>0.09). In comparing poster vs. podium AUA presentations, if published, podiums resulted in higher IF journals publications (p=0.0006), although no difference in citations were seen (F (1,821)=0.45, p=0.5). There was no significant difference in publication rate (χ2(1)=0.39, p=0.53) or time-to-publication (F(1,847)=0.32, p=0.57) between poster or podium. There has been no significant increase in AUA abstracts in oncology by females between 2012 and 2019 (χ2(1)=2.43, p=0.12). Author gender did not influence publication status (χ2(3)=1.48, p=0.69) or impact factor of published works (F(3,794)=0.62, p=0.6). CONCLUSIONS: In urologic oncology, only 13.8% of AUA Abstracts are subsequently published as manuscripts. Efforts to move abstracts into publication are needed to mitigate academic waste and encourage productivity. Prostate cancer podiums are published in higher IF journals. However, this does not translate to more citations per year for prostate cancer manuscripts.
