Strengthening surgical healthcare research capacity in sub-Saharan Africa: impact of a research training programme in Nigeria.

Limited research capacity has contributed to the lack of high-quality research from low-and middle-income countries. This is compounded by limited research training opportunities. Research capacity scale-up training was deployed as part of the implementation of the National Surgical, Obstetrics, Anaesthesia, and Nursing Plan for Nigeria. We report the impact of this locally contextualized efforts to scale up research capacity in sub-Saharan Africa. This is an evaluation of the training of 65 participants in research, grant writing and manuscript writing and publication. Pre- and post-training surveys using a 5-point Likert scale and open-ended questions were administered to evaluate the impact of the programme. There were 39 (60%) males and 26 (40%) females aged 26-62 years (median 42 years). Thirty-nine (60%) participants had previous training in research, but only 12 (18.5%) had previously received grant writing training, and 17 (26.2%) had previously received manuscript writing and publishing training. Following training, 45 (70.3%) participants agreed that the training was relevant. The research, grant writing and manuscript writing, and publication components of the training were rated high by the participants (45-59, 70.3-92.2%). However, 41.2% felt that there was not enough time, and 32.4% felt that the training was too comprehensive. Nearly all the participants agreed that the training had improved their skills in research, grant writing and manuscript writing and publication, and more than two-thirds subsequently engaged in informal mentoring of others. Overall, participants achieved success in designing their own research projects and publishing manuscripts and grants. Three (4.6%) of the participants had gone on to become faculty for the research training programme. The three top barriers encountered following training were time constraints (67.3%), lack of funding (36.5%) and not being able to find research collaborators (25%). Outcome of this training programme is encouraging and highlights the feasibility and potential impact of deploying such programmes in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Despite the positive outcomes, barriers including time constraints, funding limitations, and difficulties in finding research collaborators remain to be addressed. Such training programmes need to be supported to strengthen the research capacity in this and similar settings.

Study Characteristics and Impact of Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America Annual Meeting's "Best Papers" From 2009 to 2019.

Award-winning abstracts are selected every year at the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) annual meeting as "best paper" or poster. It is unknown how many achieve publication in peer-reviewed journals and the impact they have. We sought to determine the characteristics, including the level of evidence (LoE), publication rates, and the impact of award-winning abstracts on pediatric orthopaedic surgery practice from 2009 to 2019. Award-winning abstracts or "best papers" from 2009 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed from the POSNA website from abstract publication to manuscript publication. A search across Pubmed was used to match abstracts to their publications by comparing author names, titles, study design and methodology, results, and conclusions. Area of focus, abstract authors, institutions, publication status, LoE, time to publication, authors of publication, journals of publication, and the journal's latest Hirsch Index and impact factor were recorded. There have been 54 "best papers" at the POSNA annual meeting from 2009 to 2019. Of those, 39 have been published across 17 different journals for a publication rate of 72%. The average time from abstract presentation to publication was 21.2 months with a range of 0 to 121 months. Of the published award-winning abstracts, 64% (25) were published within 2 years, 87% (34) within 3 years, and 95% (37) within 4 years. Out of the published abstracts, 26% (10) were in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics , 23% (9) were in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery , and 10% (4) were in the Journal of Child Orthopaedics . The median number of abstract authors was 4 and increased to a median of 6 authors once published. Most award-winning abstracts had a LoE of 3. The average journal impact factor for all publications was 4; the average Hirsch Index for the corresponding author was 29.9, and the average number of citations for a publication was 41 with a range of 0 to 270. The majority of the "best papers" presented at POSNA annual meetings from 2009 to 2019 were published in peer-reviewed journals within 2 years of presentation, with approximately half being published in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics or Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery . The publication rate of "best papers" at the POSNA annual meeting was found to be higher than rates reported for abstracts presented at the annual meetings of POSNA, American Society for Surgery of the Hand and European Pediatric Orthopaedic Society, but similar to the rates observed for American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and Orthopaedic Trauma Association. Most of the selected "best papers" at the POSNA annual meeting are published and have a substantial impact on pediatric orthopaedic surgery practice. Level IV.

Reflections

This issue completes the 129th volume of the Journal of the Institute of Brewing. It’s been a transformational year with the journal being published online by the IBD with the papers open access and, importantly, free! In 2023, 16 papers were published (four per issue) originating from 10 countries. With every issue, the ‘in house’ process to publish the Journal has evolved. Indeed, this issue benefits from the simplification in the management and action of proof reading edits. Over time this will improve the KPIs from submission to publication. The collective process will also benefit from the authors of manuscripts scrupulously reading and applying the instructions to authors. As is timely, there are some New Year ambitions for the next year. These include testing the integration of the processes for submission, review and publication of manuscripts in the OJS/PKP workflow and directly linking the contents (and search) of the previous 128 volumes of the Journal.

Demographic Characteristics and Treatment Patterns in Veterans with Multiple Myeloma: A Comprehensive Analysis from the Veterans Affairs Database (2000-2020)

BACKGROUND: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the 2nd most common hematologic malignancy, accounting for 32,270 new cases diagnosed in the United States each year with over 12,830 deaths and a 57% overall 5 -year survival rate. Increased incidence is seen in patients aged >60, African American (AA) race and Male population. Despite significant advancements in therapies with novel agents and immunotherapy, MM remains a challenging disease to manage due to its heterogeneity, resistance to treatment, and the risk of relapse. In this study, we aim to determine the demographics, comorbidities and trends in treatment patterns of MM patients, over time in the VA database. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with MM from 2000-2020 in the VA's nationwide electronic health records were identified using the VA Corporate Data Warehouse (VA CDW) and VINCI to host and analyze the data. Patients were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes for MM. Patient demographics, including drugs and therapies used, were identified through structured data in the VA CDW. We included all veterans 1) over the age of 18, 2) diagnosed with MM with 3 coded visits on different days and received 1 agent other than steroids after diagnosis date. We excluded all patients who did not have at least two VA primary care visits, or one primary care visit and one VA pharmacy refill in the one year prior to MM diagnosis. We analyzed demographic details, comorbidity burden, treatment regimens for induction and attrition rates. RESULTS: A total of 12,196 patients were identified, with a median age at diagnosis of 68 years (range, 28-96 years), of which 97.8% were males, 59% (n=7187) were White, 23% (n=2903) were Black, Other (Asian/Pacific Islanders) made up 1.9% the cohort (n=233) and for 15% cohort (n=1867), race was either unknown or missing. Comorbidities at diagnosis were the following: 4164 patients had diabetes mellitus; 1329 patients had CHF ,2159 patients had pre-existing renal disease. 10,156 patients received at least one line of therapy, with the following distribution: 215 pts - RVD, 20 - DRD, 344 - CyBORD , 1930 - oral Melphalan, 3368- Thalidomide, 2692 -Revlimid/Dexamethasone, 1555 - Velcade/Dexamethasone and 2040 patients received an induction regimen not specified in Table 2. The breakdown of first line therapy utilization in respect to race is shown in Table 2. 4228 patients received two distinct lines of therapy (LOT), 1718 patients received 3 distinct LOT and 419 patients received 4 LOT. Transitioning from 1st st to 2nd LOT, attrition rates of approximately 50.3% for Black and 56.5% for White patients were observed, and from two to three lines, rates were around 52.4% for Black and 57.8% for White patients, indicating substantial drop-offs in treatment progression. The Cox proportional hazard model analysis reveals significant predictors for overall survival. Notably, age (70 or older) and renal disease was associated with increased mortality with hazard ratios (HR) of 1.731 and 1.275 (p < .0001 for both), respectively. Conversely, Black and White races, and receiving three or more therapy lines, was associated with increased OS, with HRs of 0.545, 0.607, and 0.825 (p < .0001 for all). CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive overview of veterans with MM in the VA system over a 20-year period reveals heterogeneity in treatment utilization as expected with the changing landscape of MM treatment. A detailed analysis on the nature of subsequent lines of therapies, including stem cell transplant utilization, access to clinical trials is ongoing and will be submitted as a full manuscript publication. Additionally, the data on the staging and cytogenetics is also being obtained.

Publication Rates of Abstracts Presented at American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meetings From 2016 to 2019.

Research in the form of poster and podium abstracts is disseminated at subspecialty society meetings. The quality of this research can be defined by exploring the ultimate publication rate of the presented abstracts. To investigate (1) the manuscript publication rate of abstracts presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) annual meeting; (2) whether abstract format (poster vs podium) influences overall or 2-year publication rates and time to publication; (3) the abstract factors that are associated with increased publication rate; and (4) whether publication quality as measured by journal of publication, level of evidence (LOE), and number of citations differs between posters and podiums. Cross-sectional study. Poster and podium abstracts that were presented at the AOSSM annual meetings between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019, were included. The PubMed and GoogleScholar databases were searched by abstract title and authors to determine whether the related manuscript had been published. For published manuscripts, the journal, journal impact factor (IF), time to publication, authors, and LOE were recorded. The manuscripts of 664 abstracts (341 poster, 323 podium presentations) were published during the study period. The overall publication rate was 52.4%. Publication within 2 years of the meeting was found to be higher in podium abstracts (45.8%) compared with poster abstracts (37.8%) (P = .0366). Podium abstracts had a shorter time to publication (P < .001), higher LOE (P = .0166), more citations (P < .0001), and were published in higher IF journals (P = .0028). Poster presentations were more likely to undergo a change in first author between the time of the conference and future publication (P = .0300). The most common journal of publication was the American Journal of Sports Medicine (36.8%). Abstracts presented at the AOSSM annual meeting had a high rate of publication within 2 years. There was no difference in publication rates between podium and poster abstracts, but podium abstracts had a shorter time to publication and more future citations and were published in journals with higher IFs.

A plagiarism paperdemic: determining plagiarism among COVID-19 articles in infectious disease journals between 2020 and 2021

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused drastic changes in the publishing framework which allowed for the quick review and rapid publication of manuscripts in order to quickly share vital information about this new viral pandemic to the general public and scientists. Alarms have been raised for the potential for misconduct in COVID-19 research. The purpose of this study is to determine the presence of plagiarism in COVID-19 papers across infectious disease journals.MethodsCOVID-19 related research and review articles published in infectious disease journals were collected. Each manuscript was optimized and uploaded to Turnitin, which is a similarity checking tool. Similarity reports were manually checked for events of true plagiarism using an 80% threshold, performed via human judgment.ResultsIn this cross-sectional study, 41.61% (n = 129) of manuscripts were deemed plagiarized out of a total of 310 papers that were analyzed. Plagiarism was identified in 35.07% of reviews (n = 47), and 46.6% of original research (n = 82). Among the plagiarized papers, the median number of copied sentences was 3 IQR 4. The highest recorded similarity report was 60%, and the highest number of copied sentences was 85. The discussion section of these articles was the most problematic area, with the average number of copied sentences in that section being 6.25 ± 10.16. The average time to judge all manuscripts was 2.45 ± 3.09 min. Among all the plagiarized papers, 72.09% belonged to papers where the similarity report was ≤ 15% (n = 93). No significant differences were found with regards to plagiarism events among the quartiles.ConclusionsPlagiarism is prevalent in COVID-19 publications. All similarity reports should be supplemented with human judgment.

Between policing and literary criticism: Habsburg censorship of literature in Lombardy-Venetia

The article looks at censors’ statements from the Venice State Archive and asks whether the parallels between censors speaking on literary texts and the mode of literary criticism can be productively analyzed with the help of these archival materials. The Venetian censorship bureau, established in 1814/15 in the context of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia and forming part of Habsburg Empire, is a welcome source given the comparative paucity of censors’ statements in other parts of the Empire in the early nineteenth century and during the pre-revolutionary Vormärz period. In particular, the paper examines a set of censors’ statements from 1818, containing on the whole arguments in favor of the publication of manuscripts (or circulation of foreign books). Among them figure a number of justification strategies employed by the censors, which point beyond the usual censorship categories of offences against religion, the authorities and morals. The paper looks at various statements on “modern classical” texts (e.g. Schiller’s “Song of the Bell”, Ossian, James Thomson), as well as the ways censors developed in order to engage with contemporary literature. The main case study in this respect is dedicated to the Italian translation of a historical novel by Jane Porter, The Scottish Chiefs (1810), published as I capi scozzesi in 1822–23. The way censors reflected critical discourses on the one hand, and reacted to materials from the books on the other, immediately situates them in the context of literary criticism and the statements themselves are found to constitute a valuable source for book history, the history of reading, as well as for the development of censorship in the nineteenth century.

Perceptions of PGY1 pharmacy resident research, final projects, and associated publication outcomes.

To describe the publication rate and the research landscape of postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) pharmacy residency programs within the Great Lakes Pharmacy Resident Conference (GLPRC) region. This study was comprised of two elements. The first was a retrospective cohort evaluation of previously presented GLPRC research abstracts and publication rates. The second was a 45-question survey of current GLPRC PGY1 residency program directors (RPDs). The primary objective of this study was to evaluate publication rates of PGY1 abstracts submitted to the GLPRC. Secondary objectives included describing RPD perceptions of the value of research, identifying perceived barriers to research completion, and characterizing current and ideal components of residency research programs. A total of 447 PGY1 abstracts were reviewed; 47 (10.5%) resulted in manuscript publication within a peer-reviewed journal. There was no significant difference in publication rates between years (9.5% in 2013 vs 13.8% in 2016 vs 7.4% in 2019, P = 0.166). One hundred ten PGY1 RPDs in the GLPRC region were invited to participate in the survey, with 33 (30%) responses received. The majority of programs (94%) required manuscript submission to the RPD prior to graduation; however, only 12% required submission for peer-reviewed publication. Major barriers to research completion included lack of preceptor time and knowledge regarding the research and publication process, as well as lack of resident interest and knowledge of the process. The current publication rate of PGY1 research abstracts presented at the GLPRC remains at approximately 10%, which is unchanged from a previous investigation. RPD perceptions of the research process and barriers also remain largely unchanged or less favorable.

A FAIR Future for Engineering Sciences

The emergence of FAIR data management (FDM) is being witnessed in more and more disciplines, including the engineering sciences. However, until recently, little academic credit has been given for the work that sound FDM practices in research publications require. Moreover, there has been a lack of space where the engineering sciences community could discuss and share experiences, ideas and advice about this topic. In academia, a suitable platform for such information exchange are journals. In this publication, the concept behind ing.grid, the newly established open access journal for FDM in engineering sciences, is presented, illuminating how these challenges can be addressed by providing a platform for the publication of manuscripts, research data, and software as well as by incorporating open peer review.

Discrepancies of Abstracts Presented in Coloproctology Congresses and Later Publish as Full Manuscripts. A Brazilian Perspective

Abstract Introduction The purpose of this retrospective bibliometric study was to assess the discrepancies between coloproctology surgery meeting abstracts and subsequent full-length manuscript publications. Methods Abstracts presented at the Brazilian Congress of Coloproctology Surgery from 2015 to 2019 were compared with matching manuscript publications. Discrepancies between the abstract and therefore the subsequent manuscript were categorized as major (changes within the purpose, methods, study design, sample size, statistical analysis, results, and conclusions) and minor (changes within the title, authorship, and number of female authors) variations. Results The conversion rate of abstracts in published manuscripts was 6,9% (121 abstracts). There were inconsistencies between the study title (66,1%), authorship (69,5%), study design (3,3%), sample size (39,2%), statistical analysis (24,8%), results (25,6%), and conclusions (12,4%) of manuscripts compared with their corresponding meeting abstracts. Conclusion As changes occur before manuscript publication of coloproctology surgery meeting abstracts, caution should be exercised in referencing abstracts or altering surgical practices based on abstracts content.

Virtual Research Groups Increase Research Opportunities for Trainees: Evaluation of the Massachusetts General Hospital Radiology Research Training Collaborative

Virtual communication has enabled distant research collaboration. The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Radiology Research Training collaborative brought multi-institutional students, residents, and faculty to engage in research. In this survey study, we evaluated the efficacy and participant perception of the research collaborative. Participants were recruited from medical schools, Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and American College of Radiology (ACR) affiliated radiology interest groups. Trainees met virtually since March 2020. An IRB-approved survey evaluated participant demographics, research experience, and radiology interest. 84 out of 176 (47.7%) in the email list responded. 88% (74/84) of respondents in the US. 46.4% (39/84) were medical students, 27% (23/84) residents, 3.6% (3/84) faculty who were previously participating as residents, 7.1% (6/84) undergraduate, 9.5% (8/84) International Medical Graduates (IMG's) and 6% (5/84) were researchers(PhD). 89% (73/82) stated that the collaborative provided an opportunity to perform research, 80.5% (66/82) reported that it lowers the barrier to finding mentorship, and 79% (63/80) agreed that it lowers the authority gradient between mentors and mentees. 77.5% (62/80) were satisfied with the overall experience and 54.3% (44/81) rated it as very to extremely helpful in their career. Participants reported increased comfort to perform research and exposure to radiology. During 2020-2022, participants reported 58 new manuscript publications, 67 paper submissions, 74 abstract submissions and 48 abstract presentations. The virtual research collaboration demonstrated research productivity and exposure to radiology. Given its low cost, this may provide a method to generate and sustain trainee research interest and training while being academically productive.

IMPORTANCE OF MANUSCRIPTS IN PRESENT ERA

Communications is essential for human existence which can be conducted by oral and written traditions. Ayurveda is an ancient science which has both oral and written traditions for dissemination of knowledge. Manuscriptology is the scientific and structural study of handwritten documents credited with fair antiquity. Treasures of the wisdom has passed from generation to generation by oral tradition and then written on different plant leaves and other materials. Paper usage became popular by the end of 13th century AD, till then various other materials were used for transferring knowledge. They are sources of cultural heritage and history. Their proper preservation is mandatory. Rich collections of manuscript are found in temples, religious institutions, libraries, monasteries, wealthy households, Brahmin families and palaces. Surveys require large labor, manpower and time. In the past years, many manuscripts were identified by surveys and preserved for further used. Nowadays apart from publication of manuscripts, these are being digitized also.

Chondro-osseous border in baby hip ultrasonography for developmental dysplasia of the hip: an indispensable litmus paper for the accuracy of scientific publications.

The aim of our study was to use the chondro-osseous border (COB) as an indispensable assessment criterion to evaluate the quality of baby hip ultrasonography (US) images in the literature pertaining to the application of Graf's technique. Our literature review search yielded 144 articles. Of these, 41 contained images that were stated to be based on the application of Graf's technique. Two reviewers, a radiologist and an orthopaedic surgeon, both course instructors for the use of baby hip US for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), independently evaluated the articles to assess the diagnostic validity of the published images on the basis of a single criterion: the identification of the COB. Of the 41 articles which were analyzed, 15 contained images without a COB, which corresponds to 36% (roughly, one out of three). Articles from countries where universal screening is performed (Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Mongolia) were all correct. All the articles from Turkey, a country which has made significant contribution with published material about Graf's technique over many years, and most of the articles from China (80%), where Graf's technique has become popular in recent years, contained correct images. Published literature lacks strict criteria for the publication of correct images corresponding to Graf's technique in baby hip US. This fact raises concerns about the quality of published material (and, as a corollary, the quality of clinical application of the technique) and should have ramifications on scientific journal policies regarding the publication of such manuscripts.

Publication rate and evidence-based evaluation of abstracts presented at the annual European College of Veterinary Surgeons scientific meeting.

To determine the publication rate of abstracts presented at 10 European College of Veterinary Surgeons conferences from 2006 to 2015, report the key publication milestones, and determine variables associated with full manuscript publication. Literature review. One thousand thirty-eight abstracts. All conference abstracts (n = 1038) from the 2006 to 2015 annual ECVS scientific meetings were reviewed, and final publication was determined through a comprehensive bibliographic search. Categories for the level of evidence (LoE), subject, discipline, and institution affiliation were assigned for each abstract. Dates of manuscript submission, acceptance, and publication were recorded. The overall publication rate for ECVS abstracts from 2006 to 2015 was 32%. Abstracts with levels 4 (60%) and 5 (23%) evidence were presented the most at ECVS conferences and had the highest publication rates at 38% and 36%, respectively. Key publication milestones showed that most abstracts (83%) received publication within the first 36 months with most LoE 2 abstracts (91%) being published within 24 months of presentation. Most published abstracts were affiliated with academic institutions (85%), on dog (29%) and horse (27%) subjects, focused on orthopedic (35%) and soft tissue disciplines (27%), and published in Veterinary Surgery (32%). The ECVS abstract publication rate was lower, and timeline was longer to publish than other veterinary surgical conferences. Publication occurred most frequently in academic institutions, in select journals, and was limited to orthopedic, soft-tissue, dog, and horse studies. Results from this study may help improve the publication fate of abstracts in veterinary surgery. Additionally, caution is warranted when using information from abstracts that have yet to be published to help guide clinical decisions.

Changes in Prescribing Patterns in Stage III Colon Cancer.

For patients with resected stage III colon cancer, 6 months of adjuvant fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy has been the standard of care. The IDEA collaboration aimed to evaluate whether 3 months of adjuvant chemotherapy was noninferior to 6 months. Despite failing to meet its primary endpoint, the subgroup analyses demonstrated noninferiority based on regimen and treatment duration when a risk-stratified approach was used. To evaluate the impact of the results of the IDEA collaboration, we evaluated adjuvant chemotherapy prescribing practice patterns, including planned adjuvant treatment regimen and duration from January 1, 2016, to January 31, 2021. The time period was selected to evaluate chemotherapy prescribing patterns prior to the abstract presentation of the IDEA collaboration in June 2017 and after full manuscript publication in March 2018. A total of 399 patients with stage III colon cancer who received adjuvant chemotherapy were included in the analysis. A significant increasing trend for use of 3 months of adjuvant chemotherapy was observed after presentation of the IDEA abstract (P<.001). A significant change in CAPOX (capecitabine/oxaliplatin) prescribing was also observed, increasing from 14% of patients prior to presentation of the IDEA abstract to 48% after presentation (P<.001). Comparing 3 months of CAPOX with 6 months of FOLFOX (fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin), 3 months of CAPOX use also steadily increased over time (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.28; 95% CI, 1.20-1.37; P<.001). Among subgroups of interest, no differences in adoption of CAPOX were observed. The adoption of 3 months of CAPOX was similar in patients with low-risk cancer (aOR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.17-1.37) and those with high-risk cancer (aOR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.16-1.47). Despite the IDEA collaboration failing to demonstrate noninferiority of 3 months' duration of adjuvant therapy compared with 6 months, the findings have influenced practice prescribing patterns, favoring CAPOX and a shorter duration of planned adjuvant treatment.

Publication rates of annual Research Day abstracts in peer-reviewed journals by residents and fellows at a community-based institution – A 10-year review of data and analysis

IntroductionResearch and publications are becoming increasingly important for residents who want to match into competitive fellowship training programs and fellows looking to optimize career opportunities. Institutional Research Days provide trainees the opportunity to gain presentation experience and feedback about their studies. We evaluated all abstracts that were presented at Ascension Providence Hospital (APH) during Research Day over a 10-year period to determine publication rates of manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. MethodsResearch abstracts presented by both residents and fellows during Research Days at APH from 2009 to 2018 were reviewed. Abstracts were classified by type of project, type of presentation, trainee, winners and non-winners, and training program. Winners were defined as abstracts which won first, second and third place awards. Publication of manuscripts was evaluated by searching PubMed and Google Scholar. Fisher's Exact test was used to analyze categorical data and Student's t-test was used to analyze continuous data; p < 0.05 was considered significant. ResultsA total of 491 research and case report abstracts were presented by residents and fellows during Research Day over 10 years. For residents, 346 abstracts were presented; 25% (n = 85) were winners. The majority (51%) of winning abstracts were published, but only 26% of non-winning abstracts were published (p < 0.0001). More of both winning research oral (65%) and poster abstracts (61%) were published than non-winning oral (41%) and poster abstracts (22%, p = 0.02 and p = 0.0001, respectively), but publication rates for case reports were similar. The vast majority of published winning oral (88%) and poster abstracts (74%) came from the surgical programs. Fellows presented 145 abstracts; 30% (n = 43) were winners. A slightly higher percentage of winning abstracts (42%) were published compared to non-winning abstracts (32%, p = 0.3). Unlike the residents, the fellows had no significant publication rate differences between winning and non-winning research oral, research poster or case report abstracts, or between medical and non-medical subspecialties. ConclusionsDespite their award-winning presentations, residents and fellows published less than half of these projects and less than a third of non-award-winning projects. However, most publications came from the surgical specialties, indicating the colleagues in the medical specialties were not publishing. Further data are needed to identify factors that can improve a trainee's chances of being published in a peer-reviewed journal.
