Late-Breaking Abstracts
Share novel, critically important research developments that occur during the lead-up to the PAS Congress.
Criteria
Late-Breaking Abstracts must fulfill the following criteria:
- The topic must be of critical importance to the clinical/scientific community and/or the public.
- The abstract must be report data that became available for public dissemination only after the deadline of the regular abstract submission, and has not been previously published or presented.
- The study and results reported should be novel (not simply an extension of previously published work) or be definitive of confirming or refuting other critically important work.
- The following categories are typically suited to the main poster sessions and will not be considered for Late-Breaking Abstracts: case reports, qualitative surveys, reviews of existing treatments, practice reviews, rating scale validation, small confirmatory studies, small scale epidemiology studies, research proposals.
- The Late-Breaking Abstract program is not designed to favor investigators who inadvertently missed the deadline for regular abstract submission.
