Late-breaking abstracts describe the latest advances and trial data and results that will change daily clinical practice and have not been previously published or presented.
The focus of late-breaking abstracts is placed on capturing abstracts with ground-breaking and unique data that would not otherwise have been presented at the ISN Frontiers 2022. If you have data available for submission only after the regular abstract deadline, the Scientific Program Working Group would be interested to receive your submission and consider it for presentation at the ISN Frontiers 2022.
If deadlines are respected, late-breaking abstracts will still be presented as a poster during ISN Frontiers 2022 and published in Kidney International Reports. Late-breaking abstracts are also still considered for potential oral presentations.
A call for late-breaking abstracts will open in January, 2022 and will close April 20, 2022. The call for late-breaking abstracts is NOT an extension of the general abstract submission deadline.
Late-breaking abstract submitters are required to submit ‘a placeholder abstract’ during the regular submission period (deadline May 4, 2022). Please see instructions to submit a late-breaking abstract below.
