Trillions of dollars pass to physicians from industry-related businesses annually, leading to many opportunities for financial conflicts of interest. The Open Payments Database (OPD) was created to ensure transparency. We describe the industry relationships as reported in the OPD for presenters at the 2019 Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting and evaluate concordance between author disclosures of their financial interests and information provided by the OPD.
This is an observational, cross-sectional study. Disclosure data were collected from authors with oral and featured abstract presentations in the 2019 SGO annual conference. These disclosures were compared to data available for each author in the 2018 OPD, which included the amount and nature of industry payments.
We examined the disclosures of 301 authors who met inclusion criteria. Of 161 authors who had disclosure statements on their presentations,147 reported "no disclosures," and 14 disclosed industry relationships. The remaining 140 did not list any disclosure information. Sixty percent (184/301) of authors had industry relationships in the 2018 OPD, including 173 of 287 (60.3%) of authors who either reported no disclosures or did not have disclosure data available in their presentations. These transactions totaled over 43 million USD from 122 different companies, with most payments (46%) categorized as "Research or Associated Research." Accurate disclosure reporting was associated with receiving higher payments or research payments, and being a presenting author.
Most authors at the SGO annual conference did not correctly disclose their industry relationships when compared with their entries in the OPD.
每年有数以千亿美元的资金从与行业相关的企业流向医生，这为财务利益冲突提供了许多机会。创建了公开支付数据库（OPD）以确保透明度。我们描述了 2019 年妇科肿瘤学会（SGO）年会上报告的演讲者在 OPD 中的行业关系，并评估了作者披露的财务利益与其在 OPD 中提供的信息之间的一致性。
这是一项观察性的横断面研究。从在 2019 年 SGO 年会上进行口头和专题摘要演讲的作者那里收集了披露数据。将这些披露与每位作者在 2018 年 OPD 中的数据进行了比较，其中包括行业支付的金额和性质。
我们检查了符合纳入标准的 301 位作者的披露情况。在有演讲披露声明的 161 位作者中，有 147 位报告“无披露”，有 14 位披露了行业关系。其余 140 位作者没有列出任何披露信息。在 2018 年 OPD 中，有 60%（184/301）的作者有行业关系，其中 287 位作者中有 173 位（60.3%）要么报告无披露，要么在演讲中没有披露数据。这些交易总额超过 4300 万美元，来自 122 家不同的公司，其中大部分（46%）款项被归类为“研究或相关研究”。准确的披露报告与收到更高的付款或研究付款以及作为演讲者有关。
与他们在 OPD 中的条目相比，SGO 年会的大多数作者并未正确披露其行业关系。
