SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1: baseline characteristics presentation

Objective: to develop algorithm of presentation of baseline characteristics of patients which enrolled in prospective non-randomized clinical trial AMIRI CABG (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03050489). Materials and methods. Data collection was performed according to prospective non-randomized clinical trial AMIRI CABG in Pavlov First St. Petersburg State Medical University, Saint Petersburg, Russia between 2016-2019 years with 336 patients. Patients were allocated into three groups of treatment. There is database with clinical, laboratory and instrumental data.

Baseline characteristics were presented in table. Results. There was developed algorithm of baseline characteristics presentation in APA-table. Conclusion. There was developed algorithm of baseline characteristics presentation SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1 could be useful for manuscript preparing for Russian and foreign journal.

Factors associated with successful publication of abstracts in women malignancies: Are we closing the gender gap?

11034 Background: We aimed to determine abstract characteristics associated with successful peer-reviewed publication after presentation at ASCO annual meeting in the women’s malignancy category (breast & gynecologic cancer). Awareness of this could help meeting organizers & attendees understand factors associated with impactful abstracts. Methods: All oral & poster abstracts (OA: n = 53 & PA: n = 527) in Breast (Loco/Regional/Adjuvant & Metastatic) & Gynecologic cancers category (2017 & 2018 meeting) were included. Subsequent publication was confirmed by searching PubMed by title, names of first & last authors for abstracts published by January 2021. Time to online publication, US or foreign journal publication & impact factor (IF) were recorded. We also recorded number of authors, single/ multi-institution studies & gender of first/ last author, which was confirmed by viewing biography details on their institutional websites. Descriptive analysis was performed & association between above factors & publication matrix was analyzed using multiple logistic regression model, Chi-square and t-test. Results: 45/53 OA (85%) & 269/527 PA (51%) were published in peer-reviewed journals. Median number of authors for published PA was 12 vs 11 for unpublished (p = 0.24). Females (F) presented 34% (18/53) OA & 49.3% (260/527) PA. 55% (143/260) PA presented by female authors & 47.1% (126/267) presented by male (M) authors (p = 0.073) were published. No difference in publication between single vs multi-institution studies (p = 0.76) for PA was noted. Average time to journal publication for OA & PA was 15.45 (SD +/- 3.37) & 17.73 (SD +/- 1.27) months (mo) respectively. Mean IF for OA was 27.95 (SD+/- 6.18) while for PA was 10.96 (SD+/- 1.75). For published OA, 33% (15/45) had female first & 29% (13/45) had female last authors. For published PA, 50.2% (135/269) had female first while only 37.5% (101/269) had female last authors. There was no association between gender of last author to IF (p = 0.39), single vs multi-institution study (p = 0.48) or time to publication (p = 0.44) for PA. Conclusions: More than 75% of OA & 50% of PA were successfully published regardless of gender, number of authors or institutions involved. We observe a slight disparity in senior authorship for females and although this was not statistically significant, we are encouraged that the gap is closing in first authorship.[Table: see text]

Factors Predictive of Oral Abstract Being Published: Is Gender Disparity Playing a Role?

Introduction: It remains unclear what percentage of abstracts proceed to manuscript publication and the characteristics that predict successful publication. This study aimed to determine factors associated with successful peer-reviewed publications following oral presentation at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting. Methods: All oral abstract presentations (n=621) in the hematological malignancy category from 2016 ASH annual meeting were included in the study. Abstract publication was confirmed by searching for the publicly listed abstract on PubMed by title, first, and last author names, and institutional matching. We recorded time to online publication, US versus foreign journal publication, and journal impact factor by 3.5 years from 2016 ASH annual meeting. Abstracts characteristics that were analyzed also included number of authors, gender of first author, gender of last author, and single vs multi-institution studies. Gender of the first and last author was confirmed by looking at their biography details on their institutional website. Descriptive analysis was performed and an association between presenter's or last author's gender and publication matrix was analyzed using Chi-square tests. Results: Of the 621 abstracts, 350 (56%) were published in full text by three and a half years since the 2016 ASH annual meeting. The abstracts' average time to journal publication was 17.46 months (SD +/- 11.32) (Table 1). Of the published articles, 64% (223/350) were published in U.S. journals; mean impact factor for all publications was 14.46 (SD+/- 11.47).The median number of authors for published and unpublished abstracts were similar. Females presented 37% (228/621) of the abstracts and 35% (123/350) of the journal publications had female first author and 22% (77/350) had female last author. A total of 53.9% (123/228) abstracts presented by a female author were published versus 57.7% (227/393) abstracts presented by a male author (p=<0.001). Males were more often involved in multi-institutional trials (p=0.045) and were more likely to have senior authorship (p=0.005). There was no correlation between the gender of the first author to journal impact factor (p=0.109) or time to publication (p=0.091). Conclusion: More than half of the oral abstracts were successfully published regardless of gender and number of authors. The rate of successful publication is higher for male authors even though there was no correlation between the gender of the first author to journal impact factor or time to publication. Our study highlights gender disparity in senior authorship, however this difference is not as wide in first authorship. Disclosures Jamshed: Takeda, Amgen and Celgene: Honoraria.

From the Editor's desk

British Made Foreign JournalI am writing this just after returning from India and Sri Lanka and, after being exposed to a welter of cultures and religions in the past few days, I have had cause to reflect on the Journal's aspirations to be international. I think I can detect a touch of sophistry here. Professor Navendra Wig, one of the most distinguished of Indian psychiatrists, puts it better. He describes how the government excise records in India refer to locally produced spirits such as brandy and whisky as IMFL – ‘Indian Made Foreign Liquor’1 – and this made him realise that, at heart, he was an IMFD, an ‘Indian Made Foreign Doctor’, as he could never escape his cultural heritage however much he tried. Similarly, I cannot escape the conclusion that we are seen by all non-UK-born readers as a British Made Foreign Journal, with a style and substance that cannot genuinely resonate with all our readers. But we can learn much from each other, as this issue shows. Manoranjitham et al (pp. 26–30) show that even if we were successful in both identifying and treating depressive illness over in the West, it might have little impact on suicide in south India as there overt depression appears to be rare prior to suicide, and what matters much more is simple stress and isolation following loss. Why south India is different from the UK, and even Pakistan2 here, is a puzzle, but such research shows that we cannot export or import evidence derived from only one country if it is at least partly dependent on culture and setting. Fottrell et al (pp. 18–25) similarly demonstrate the tremendous value of one of the most joyous of events, childbirth, in Benin where perinatal mortality is high, so that even the trauma of a baby almost dying can be overcome triumphantly by the exuberance of successful motherhood. But it is equally important to report results that are entirely consistent with those in countries of different cultures, and Chen et al (pp. 31–35) find that recurrence of self-harm in Taiwan follows a pattern that is virtually identical to that in Western countries.3–5 Large international studies can allow for cultural and national variations and Bottomley et al (pp. 13–17) illustrate this in comparing risk factors for both onset of depression and recovery. Bisson et al (pp. 69–74) do likewise and in their guidelines for psychosocial care after disasters involved experts from 25 nations across the world – quite a feat.
