Abstract

We assessed the extent of research ethics approval and informed consent reporting in publications emanating from Cameroon and indexed in PubMed from 2005-2009. In our review of 219 full-length articles, we found that 57.53% reported ethics approval, 70.78% informed consent, and 50.68% both ethics approval and informed consent. Reporting these procedures was more common in randomized clinical trials than in other study designs. Also, 59.52% of the articles on vulnerable populations documented ethics approval and 76.19% documented informed consent. This study also identified some structures for ethics review and recommends some next steps for research on the quality of ethics review in Cameroon.

摘要

我们评估了喀麦隆发表并被2005 - 2009年PubMed收录的出版物中研究伦理批准和知情同意报告的情况。在我们对219篇全文文章的审查中，我们发现57.53%的文章报告了伦理批准，70.78%报告了知情同意，50.68%既报告了伦理批准又报告了知情同意。与其他研究设计相比，在随机临床试验中报告这些程序更为常见。此外，关于弱势群体的文章中有59.52%记录了伦理批准，76.19%记录了知情同意。本研究还确定了一些伦理审查结构，并为喀麦隆伦理审查质量的研究推荐了一些后续步骤。
