A Reflection on Conflicts of Interest in Medical Guidelines

Prescribing a drug directly to the patient, recruiting a volunteer for a clinical research, lecturing at a specialty congress, participating in a committee that elaborates clinical guidelines, supervising a clinical visit with residents, giving your opinion for colleagues over coffee.

All of these situations are characterized by human interaction, greater or lesser asymmetry of knowledge, and multiple interests, where the possible privilege of one may cause damage to another.

Abstract

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) provides recommendations to improve the editorial standards and scientific quality of biomedical journals. These recommendations range from uniform technical requirements to more complex and elusive editorial issues including ethical aspects of the scientific process. Recently, registration of clinical trials, conflicts of interest disclosure, and new criteria for authorship – emphasizing the importance of responsibility and accountability-, have been proposed. Last year, a new editorial initiative to foster sharing of clinical trial data was launched. This review discusses this novel initiative with the aim of increasing awareness among readers, investigators, authors and editors belonging to the Editors´ Network of the European Society of Cardiology.

Conflict of interest policies and disclosure requirements among European Society of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Journals

Fernando Alfonso et al. Adam Timmis Fausto J. Pinto Giuseppe Ambrosio … Hugo Ector Piotr Kulakowski Panos Vardas

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest (COI) is used by biomedical journals to guarantee credibility and transparency of the scientific process. COI disclosure, however, is not systematically nor consistently dealt with by journals. Recent joint editorial efforts paved the way towards the implementation of uniform vehicles for COI disclosure. This paper provides a comprehensive editorial perspective on classical COI-related issues. New insights into current COI policies and practices among European Society of Cardiology national cardiovascular journals, as derived from a cross-sectional survey using a standardised questionnaire, are discussed.
