accompanied by a poster (details of which will be included in the acceptancemessage).
Scientific and Clinical Practice Papers
Scientific Abstracts
Scientific abstracts will report an original scientific contribution relevant to a cardiothoracic surgical meeting. Scientific
abstracts will tend to:
o Be laboratory based or clinical
o Have a null hypothesis
o Compare two or more forms of intervention
o Use comparative statistics, give p values
Clinical Practice Abstracts
Clinical practice abstracts will present clinical data that broadens understanding about a condition or procedure. Clinical
practice abstracts will tend to:
o Be clinical
o Report a case series
o Report a clinical series, new procedure or technique
o Use descriptive statistics, not necessarily have p values
Scientific and Clinical practice papers chosen for Oral Presentation will be presented as 5 minutes presentation and 5
minutes discussion. These presentations must also be accompanied by posters that will be mounted in the Exhibition
area. All oral presenters will be requested to forward an electronic copy of their PowerPoint presentation to the AV
company prior to the SCTS meeting.
Submissions awarded Poster Presentation will mount posters on the first day of the meeting and these posters will be
reviewed by a Poster Review Panel over the period of the conference. The best of the poster presentations will be
awarded an SCTS Poster presentation prize.
