Libros de resúmenes de los congresos científicos nacionales del Perú, 2010-2014

Every year the National Scientific Congress (NSC) is held, an event that receives research papers from the medical students of Peru. The objective of the study was to determine the publication rate of these papers and their associated factors. A retrospective cohort study was conducted for which the abstract books of the NSC from 2010 to 2014 were reviewed. We determined the publication rate and the time in months until the publication of the work. We included 407 abstracts, of which 97 (23.8%) were published. The median time to publication was 14 months (IQR: 5-23). Almost a quarter of the papers submitted to the NSC between 2010 and 2014 were published in a scientific journal.
