Where were these data announced, and what are the differences between research reported at a medical meeting and a published study?
Peggy Peck, MedPage Today: The data were reported at the European Respiratory Society meeting, a scientific meeting that was attended by pulmonologists and other clinicians who treat patients with respiratory illnesses, as well as epidemiologists and basic science researchers in the field of respiratory medicine. When a study is reported at a meeting such as this, the data are first submitted in abstract format–that abstract usually just describes the methodology of the study and the research question that is being asked, but it may contain a very sketchy account of the findings. Abstracts are usually submitted to program committees months and months before the meeting and while thousands of abstracts are submitted only a small percentage are actually selected for presentation at the meeting–usually less than half of the abstract submissions are accepted and sometimes the acceptance rage is as low as 20%-33%. Accepted abstracts are presented either as posters or oral presentations. Ora
