Surgical trainees presenting research at the Registrars' Papers Day (RPD) have a 46% publication rate, validating its role in meeting Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) research requirements. Prospective study design significantly predicted publication.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Research Publication

Background:

  • The Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) requires trainees to meet research criteria.
  • Presentation at meetings like the annual Registrars' Papers Day (RPD) is one accepted research option.
  • Debate exists regarding whether RPD presentations adequately fulfill research requirements, with peer-reviewed publication being the ultimate goal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the publication rate of abstracts presented at the Registrars' Papers Day (RPD) in New South Wales.
  • To identify factors predicting subsequent publication in peer-reviewed journals.
  • To assess the RPD's contribution to the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) research requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of all abstracts submitted to the RPD in 1998 and 1999.
  • Medline search in 2005 to identify publications.
  • Statistical analysis (Chi-squared test) of variables including presentation type, specialty, study type, design (prospective/retrospective), and sample size.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall publication rate was 46% (oral: 50%, poster: 39%, rejected: 20%).
    • Mean time to publication was 23.8 months; median was 21.0 months.
    • Prospective study design was the only significant predictor of publication (P < 0.002).
    • Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery was the most frequent publication venue.

    Conclusions:

    • The RPD meeting produces good quality papers, with a 46% publication rate comparing favorably to international standards.
    • Presentation at the RPD, as part of RACS research requirements, leads to valuable publications.
    • Prospective research design is crucial for increasing the likelihood of publication.
