Clinical trials play a key role in patient care, academic education and research in surgery. Without valid studies the practice of evidence-based medicine is limited. Surgery is supported through funding by the German Ministry of Education and Research to establish an infrastructure for clinical trials. So far seven universities have worked together in a network since 2007 and successfully obtained funding for six large randomized trials from a program existing since 2004. Until now 2,249 patients have been randomized within 11 trials and 910 patients have been treated at local hospitals without academic responsibilities. An increase in the interest in clinical trials in daily practice has resulted through the certification of hospitals for special treatment that specifies that at least 5% of all patients are included in clinical trials.
临床试验在外科患者护理、学术教育及研究中发挥着关键作用。没有有效的研究，循证医学的实践就会受到限制。德国教育与研究部提供资金支持外科建立临床试验基础设施。自2007年以来，已有七所大学联合组成一个网络，并从2004年起实施的一个项目中成功获得了六项大型随机试验的资金。到目前为止，已有2249名患者在11项试验中被随机分组，另有910名患者在当地医院接受治疗，但这些医院没有学术任务。通过对特殊治疗医院进行认证，规定所有患者中至少5%要纳入临床试验，这使得日常实践中对临床试验的兴趣有所增加。
