    Thoracic Scoliosis Screening in Adolescent Patients with Chest Radiographs
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Eksi, Murat Sakir; Eksi, Emel Ece Ozcan
    Aim: School scoliosis screening programs (SSSPs) are valuable and common tools to depict scoliosis prevalence and to take appropriate measures to prevent scoliosis. Prevalence of small angle scoliosis (10-20 degrees) could be underestimated via SSSPs due to inter-rater variability of the physical examination after which possible candidates are sent to radiographic work-up. In this study, we aimed to detect the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis in adolescent patients via analysis of posteroanterior chest radiographs. Methods: Adolescent patients, who had been admitted for reasons other than spine and whose posteroanterior chest radiographs had been obtained, were included in the study. Demographics and chest radiographs were screened through picture archiving and communication system of the hospital. Results: Chest radiographs of 326 (163 female, 163 male) adolescents were evaluated (mean age: 15.54 +/- 2.12 years

    Who Sets Light to the Scientific Path of Spine? Publication Rates of the Abstracts Presented at the ``North American Spine Society'' Meetings
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Eksi, Emel Ece Ozcan; Eksi, Murat Sakir
    Aim: Publication rate of congress abstracts has gained attention in the recent literature. Our aim was to assess publication rate and the reasons behind publication of abstracts presented at North American Spine Society (NASS) 2009-2012 annual scientific meetings. Methods: We evaluated the abstracts presented at the NASS 2009-2012 annual scientific meetings. We searched abstract titles and author names through the PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar. Author specialty, origin of the abstract, journal name, time to publication (years) and content change were looked for. Results: The publication rate of the abstracts presented at NASS 2009-2012 was 48\%. The 2011 congress was the most successful one at reaching publication compared to other three years. Oral presentation abstracts were more likely to be published than poster abstracts, except the year 2011. Orthopedic surgery was the leading specialty in the number of presented abstracts (70\%), while neurosurgery was the most successful specialty in seeing publication of the presented abstracts (58\%). Conclusion: The publication rate of presented abstracts of NASS has increased compared to the previous years. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for some presented abstracts that could not have been published in scientific journals.
