Changes in application of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine's abstract scoring criteria, 2020 versus 2021

Abstract

The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) holds an annual meeting at which emergency medicine research is presented.1 Previously, we reviewed a random sample of scientific abstracts accepted for presentation at SAEM from 1990 to 2020.2 Applying SAEM's 2020 scoring criteria, the most recent criteria available at the time of that review, we showed that abstract quality improved over the 30 years.In late 2020, SAEM introduced modified scoring criteria for abstracts accepted to its 2021 annual meeting, and these new criteria are still in use as of early 2023.3 It is unclear if, in practice, the new criteria would yield scores significantly different from those assigned using the 2020 criteria. Therefore, building on our earlier work, we rescored a sample of the previously reviewed abstracts, using the new 2021 criteria. The objective was to compare differences in quality scores using the 2020 and 2021 criteria.This study was reviewed by the Mass General Brigham Human Research Committee and classified as non–human subjects research. For this retrospective study, we compiled all abstracts accepted for presentation at the SAEM annual meeting in 2015 and 2020. We then randomly selected 100 abstracts (50 abstracts from each of the 2 years) for review using the random‐number
