A cross-sectional analysis of publication of pediatric global health abstracts from seven major international conferences.

ABSTRACT: Research presented at conferences may increase context-specific evidence in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where global childhood disease burden is greatest and where massive relative deficits in research persist.
