Review, Acceptance and Notification

All abstracts will be reviewed by an Abstract Review Committee on behalf of the Scientific Programme Committee.

Receipt of abstract submission will be acknowledged via email.

E-mail notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the submitting author by 30th January 2012. Authors of accepted abstracts will be informed if their abstract is for poster or oral presentation.

As submission of abstracts will constitute the authors' consent to have the abstracts published in the official conference proceedings, where required, editing will be carried out prior to publication.

Author instructions

There is no limit to the number of abstracts an author or group of authors may submit. Submitted abstracts must be in English and no longer than 2,200 characters. A structured abstract is preferred for empirical studies (i.e. Objective, Methods, Findings and Conclusions). For abstracts discussing methods, policy, ethics or social issues, an unstructured format is acceptable.

Guidelines for writing your Abstract

Standard accepted abbreviations such as CXR, ECG, p-value <0.05 can be used.

There is no reason to mention IRB acceptance as this is presumed.

Do not add in tables, illustrations or diagrams in the abstract. These can be added in the poster or oral presentation.
