Abstract
Introduction

Publication rates vary significantly among different scientific meetings, with many abstracts never being published as peer-reviewed articles. This issue has never been investigated in the Hypertension field in Argentina. Our purpose was to determine the proportion of abstracts presented at the Argentinian Congress of Hypertension meetings that were published as full articles in peer-reviewed indexed journals, the time lag to publication and the factors associated with successful publication.

Methods

we conducted a PubMed search to identify peer-reviewed publications of abstracts presented at the Argentinian Congress of Hypertension meetings between 2006 and 2015, assessing publication rate along with the time lag to publication. We also extracted information about several abstract characteristics and, for those that got published, we recorded the date of publication and journal name with its impact factor and H index. Predictors of publication were analyzed using a multivariable model.

Results

a total of 619 abstracts were presented between 2006 and 2015. The rate of conversion to full-text peer-reviewed articles by June 2017 was 28.1% (95%CI 24.7–31.8%), with a median time to publication of 15.7 months (IQR 8–30.9). On multivariable analysis, the independent predictors of publication were basic science category (OR 5 [95%CI 2.3–10.8], p<0.001), oral presentation (OR 2.8 [95%CI 1.6–4.9], p<0.001) and being an award winner for the presentation (OR 3 [95%CI 1.3–6.8], p=0.01).

Conclusion

conversion rate to full peer-reviewed articles of abstracts presented at the Argentinian Congress of Hypertension meetings is far from ideal, with potential areas where efforts should be concentrated to improve dissemination of knowledge.

Resumen
Introducción

El porcentaje de resúmenes que se presentan en reuniones científicas y llegan a publicarse como manuscritos completos en revistas indexadas revisadas por pares es bajo. Este problema no ha sido investigado en el área de la hipertensión en Argentina. Nos propusimos determinar la proporción de resúmenes presentados en los congresos argentinos de hipertensión que llegan a publicarse en revistas indexadas, como artículos completos revisados por pares, el tiempo transcurrido hasta la publicación y los factores asociados a la misma.

Métodos

Realizamos una búsqueda en PubMed para identificar las publicaciones en revistas con revisión por pares de los resúmenes presentados en los congresos argentinos de hipertensión entre los años 2006 y 2015, determinando el porcentaje de resúmenes que llegaron a publicarse y el tiempo transcurrido hasta la publicación. Registramos fecha de publicación y revista, con su factor de impacto e índice H. Construimos un modelo multivariable de regresión logística para determinar los factores independientemente asociados a la publicación.

Resultados

Entre 2006 y 2015 se presentaron 619 resúmenes. La tasa de conversión de resúmenes en artículos revisados por pares a junio de 2017, fue del 28,1% (IC 95%: 24,7-31,8%) con una mediana de tiempo hasta la publicación de 15,7 meses (RIC: 8-30,9). Los factores predictivos independientes de la publicación fueron: categoría ciencia básica (OR: 5 [IC 95%: 2,3-10,8]; p<0,001), presentación oral (OR: 2,8 [IC 95%: 1,6-4,9]; p<0,001), y haber obtenido un premio al mejor trabajo (OR: 3 [IC 95%: 1,3-6,8]; p=0,01).

Conclusión

La tasa de conversión de resúmenes en artículos revisados por pares presentados en los congresos argentinos de hipertensión a publicaciones en revistas indexadas dista de ser ideal, habiéndose identificado áreas donde la concentración de esfuerzos podría mejorar la difusión del conocimiento.
