Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine the characteristics associated with publication of oral and video presentations presented at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology annual meetings. Abstracts were reviewed using publication booklets from 2006 to 2016. PubMed and internet searches were used to determine publication status. Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression were used for statistical analyses. Of 585 oral plenary sessions, 502 (85.8%) led to publications in peer-reviewed journals. The majority (75.7%) of presentations were clinical rather than translational (24.3%). Compared to single institution studies, multicenter presentations led to a higher publication rate (89.9% 80.5%; p = 0.001). Randomized controlled trials and cohort studies had publication rates of over 90%, while chart reviews and translational research were published at a rate of 87.1% and 80%, respectively (p = 0.004). 41.4% of all publications were in the specialty journal Gynecologic Oncology. Of 56 surgical videos, 23 (41.1%) advanced to publication in either peer-reviewed journals or as online videos: 32.1% were in print media, 5.4% were posted as accessible online videos (YouTube, Google Video, university websites). On multivariate analysis of oral presentations, multicenter studies (OR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.15-3.31; p = 0.01), cohort studies (OR: 3.13; 95% CI: 1.30-7.58; p = 0.01), and international studies (OR: 4.02; 95% CI: 1.20-13.40; p = 0.02) were most likely to be published. Over 11 Society of Gynecologic Oncology annual meetings, >85% of oral plenary sessions led to peer-reviewed publication and 41% of surgical videos were published or accessible online. Multicenter, international, and cohort studies were more likely to be published.
