    BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate demographics, methodological data and writing style of abstracts presented at the 5th Congress of National Trauma and Emergency Surgery. METHODS Study design, institutions and number of authors, appropriateness of the title, use of a structured abstract, word count, fluency, accuracy of the statistical evaluation, and conclusion-abstract accordance were assessed in 451 abstracts. RESULTS Nearly 49% of abstracts were retrospective and 29% were case reports in design. 33%, 26%, and 24% of abstracts were related to isolated organ, single system and multi-system injuries, respectively. Approximately two-fifths of presentations were university-based. Approximately one-third of presentations were multidisciplinary in origin. The mean number of authors was 5.6 +/- 1.8, and a statistical significance was found between abstract contributions from university versus other hospitals (p=0.001). Three-fourths of the abstracts had an appropriate title and 91% were structured. Word count was 100-250 in 57% and 250-500 in 42% of abstracts. Statistical analysis was used in only 19% of abstracts. Most of the abstracts were fluent. Conclusion-abstract accordance was present in 71% of the abstracts. CONCLUSION Our results indicate there are some deficiencies in the abstract writing process. The use of a structured abstract may intensify fluency and compliance to abstract writing guidelines. Clinical studies regarding multi-traumatized patient groups and experimental studies should be encouraged.

    The value of CRP, IL-6, leptin, cortisol, and peritoneal caspase-3 monitoring in the operative strategy of secondary peritonitis
    (Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2011) Pehlivanli, Faruk; Agalar, Fatih; Agalar, Canan; Saygun, Oral; Daphan, Cagatay; Aydinuraz, Kuzey; Sahiner, Tayfun
    BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the impact of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, leptin, cortisol, and caspase-3 on the decision of terminating planned abdominal repair in secondary peritonitis. METHODS Fifteen patients with peritonitis were enrolled into the study. Serum CRP, IL-6, leptin, cortisol, and peritoneal caspase-3 activities were measured. RESULTS APACHE II scores at 48 hours (h) and age were significantly higher in non-survivors. A significant decrease was observed in caspase-3 activities of patients in whom <= 4 laparotomies were performed when compared with those who underwent >4 laparotomies. For patients who underwent <= 4 laparotomies, there was a significant difference in caspase-3 levels between 0 and 72 h. There was no significant difference in caspase-3 levels in non-survivors; caspase-3 levels were significantly lower in the survivors at 48 and 72 h. Changes in CRP, IL-6, leptin, and cortisol levels were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION CRP, IL-6, leptin, cortisol, and caspase-3 are not valuable in discriminating the number of planned operations, even though there is a significant decrease in caspase-3 "within" survivors. The discriminative value of caspase-3 for closure should be evaluated in studies in which caspase-3 is monitored for a longer duration in a large number of patients.
