Proposals for scientific studies must have an original hypothesis and the appropriate design and methodology to test the premise.
This study is an evaluation of the suitability of applications submitted to a local ethics committee (EC) and the rate of publication of that research.
A total of 899 files submitted for EC approval were retrospectively assessed. The EC found that the description of the methods in 44% of the applications was inaccurate, and that this type of error was most often seen in submissions from the surgical branch. In all, 52% of the applications for which we were informed about their final status were not published.
The results suggest that improved training in epidemiology is required to reduce the number of application errors and that new regulations could help to motivate healthcare personnel to conduct scientific research and publish their findings.
科学研究提案必须有一个原创假设以及用于检验该前提的适当设计和方法。
本研究是对提交给当地伦理委员会(EC)的申请的适宜性及其研究发表率的评估。
对总共899份提交给伦理委员会批准的文件进行了回顾性评估。伦理委员会发现,44%的申请中方法描述不准确,这类错误最常出现在外科分支的提交材料中。总体而言,我们得知其最终状态的申请中有52%未发表。
结果表明,需要加强流行病学培训以减少申请错误数量,新规定可能有助于激励医护人员开展科学研究并发表其研究结果。
