The Prevalence of Conflict of Interest Disclosures in Biomedical Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design We randomly sampled articles in Medline published from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016, in journals following the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). There were no language restrictions. Non–peer-reviewed articles, including letters and news stories, were excluded. We developed a coding manual to classify the reported conflicts of interest and sources of study funding based on the National Academies of Medicine definition of conflict of interest and the ICMJE disclosure form. Independently, 2 researchers piloted the coding manual on a random sample, resolving discrepancies through verification and discussion.

The conflicts of interest (COI) of the authors of systematic reviews may bias their results and influence their conclusions. This may in turn lead to misguided public policies and systems level decisions. In order to mitigate the adverse impact of COI, scientific journals require authors to disclose their COIs. ...
