Fate of abstracts presented at the 2004‐2008 International Liver Transplantation Society meetings

Patrick J. Hackett, Marina Guirguis, Nozomi Sakai, Tetsuro Sakai – 19 December 2013 – Only 20.5% to 61.6% of abstracts presented at biomedical meetings are subsequently published as full‐length articles. The aim of this study was to analyze the abstract‐to‐publication rate of International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) meeting abstracts. Abstracts presented at 5 consecutive annual ILTS meetings (2004‐2008) were included to ensure a minimum follow‐up period of 4 years.

We therefore assessed the population health impact and cost‐effectiveness of a strategy of lifelong monitoring for inactive CHB and treatment of eligible patients in Shanghai, China.
