Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Only a few articles submitted to the Argentine Congress of Rheumatology (ACOR) are published. Objective: To analyse the topics of study (TOS) and the publication rate of articles on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) submitted to the ACOR. Material and methods: Every abstract submitted to the ACOR between 2008 and 2017 whose primary research subject was RA was analysed and sorted according to TOS. Revisited TOS, defined as at least two similar studies on the same topic, were identified. The publication rate and the number of similar studies according to TOS, participating centres, and patients were determined. Results: Out of 346 articles submitted, 51 (14.7%) were published. Fourteen (11.9%) of the 118 studies on revisited TOS were published vs. 37 (16.2%) of the rest of the TOS (p: 0.4). The articles on revisited TOS neither included more patients nor involved a higher number of centres. Thirteen revisited TOS with at least three similar studies but no published articles were identified. Conclusions: Only a few articles on RA were published. One third of the studies submitted to the ACOR are revisited TOS, a fact that does not improve the publication rate.References
