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

Objectives: 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.

Study Design: Literature review.

Sample Population: One thousand thirty-eight abstracts.

Ex vivo biomechanical evaluation of a bone-screw-fastener for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a novel screw type on stiffness and failure characteristics of a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) construct under cyclic loading conditions. The authors hypothesized that bone-screw-fasteners (BSF) would result in superior biomechanical stability compared with locking buttress screws (LBS).

Materials And Methods: Twelve pairs of canine cadaveric pelvic limbs were included in this biomechanical study.

Abstract Presentation at Two Veterinary Surgery Conferences and the Impact on Publication Rate.

Objectives:  The aim of this study was to compare the publication rate (PR) and report descriptive findings from abstracts presented at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), the Veterinary Orthopaedic Society (VOS), and those presented at both conferences.

Study Design:  All conference abstracts from 2001 to 2010 ACVS and VOS meetings were reviewed. PR in peer-reviewed journals was evaluated and compared between Group 1 (abstracts presented at ACVS only;  = 1,277), Group 2 (abstracts presented at VOS only;  = 645), and Group 3 (abstracts presented at both conferences;  = 121) abstracts.

Publication Rate and Evidence-Based Evaluation of Abstracts Presented at the Annual Veterinary Orthopedic Society Conference.

Objectives:  Scientific abstracts are a common method for disseminating new research. There is no information on the publication rate of orthopaedic surgery abstracts presented at the annual Veterinary Orthopedic Society (VOS) Conference. The objectives of this study were to document the publication rate, the publication timeline and the level of evidence (LoE) of abstracts presented at an annual orthopaedic meeting.
