ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Academic conferences such as the annual Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) meeting provide opportunities to present up-to-date scientific work that can influence clinical decision making. This study reviewed 4 years of abstracts presented at POSNA to assess trends in poster and podium presentation publication rates and associated metrics and the impact of academic presentations on the pediatric orthopaedic literature.METHODS:
All abstracts presented at POSNA annual meetings from 2013 to 2016 were analyzed for presentation type, subspeciality, level of evidence, study design, peer-reviewed publication within 4 years of presentation, 1-year publication rates, journal impact factors, number of authors, and citations of the final publication. χ2, analysis of variance, and t tests were conducted to measure independence of variables. Statistical significance was indicated at P<0.05.RESULTS:
A total of 1135 abstracts were included with 676 published in peer-reviewed journals by August 2020 and 38 excluded because of publication before presentation. The number of accepted abstracts increased yearly. Total of 58.2% of POSNA abstracts were published and 42.5% had the same first author on the final manuscript. Average journal impact factor was 2.60±1.30 with a mean 14.3±16.0 citations. Podium presentations were significantly more likely to be published than poster presentations (63.1% vs. 51.2%, P<0.001) and in higher-impact factor journals. Level I evidence abstracts were published in journals with an average 1.663 higher impact factor than level V evidence abstracts, with no significant difference between overall publication rate and study type (P=0.69) or level of evidence (P=0.95) for podium presentations. The Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics accepted the most abstracts, 38.4% overall, with 64.1% of acceptances resulting from podium presentations and no difference in time to publication based on subspecialty.CONCLUSIONS:
The overall publication rate for POSNA abstracts has increased 8.7% from prior analysis. Podium presentations are more likely than poster presentations to be published, overall and in higher-impact journals, and are cited more frequently. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV-descriptive retrospective epidemiological study.
