Abstracts for oral and poster presentations will be selected by blind peer review based on the following criteria:
 |
Does the abstract pose an important and novel question? |
|
Does the study design permit the question to be answered? |
|
Are the endpoints of the study clearly defined? |
|
Is there an appropriate use of statistics? |
|
Are the methods described in sufficient detail? |
|
Are the conclusions supported by the data? |
|
| |
?
|
|
Is there a rationale, either clinical or laboratory, underlying the study design? |
|
Is it either promising enough to pursue or negative enough that presentation would save other investigators
from wasting efforts? |
|
| |
| |
|
Is the group of patients reasonably homogenous? |
|
Have attempts been made to account for biases inherent in retrospective reviews? |
|
| |
|
