披露作者的经济利益已被提议作为保护生物医学文献完整性的一项战略。我们检查了作者的经济利益是否在2006年发表的关于冠状动脉支架的文章中一致地披露。我们在PubMed中检索了2006年发表的提供关于冠状动脉支架使用的证据或指南的英文文章。我们记录了文章的特征，包括作者的财务披露信息。主要的结果措施是财务披露的普遍性、性质和一致性。数据库中有746篇文章，2985名作者和135种期刊。83%的文章没有包含任何作者的披露声明（包括没有利益的声明）。只有6%的作者有一篇带有披露声明的文章。在同一作者的文章之间进行比较时，分歧的类型如下：无披露声明与无利益声明（64%）;具体披露与无披露声明（34%）;具体披露与无利益声明（2%）。在75名作者中，有2名（3%）作者在撰写的每篇文章中披露了与组织的至少一种关系。在极少数情况下，当经济利益被披露，他们没有披露一致，这表明有问题的透明度在一个领域的文献，有重要的影响病人的护理。我们的研究结果表明，我们观察到的不一致是由于期刊的政策和一些作者的行为。
Disclosure of authors' financial interests has been proposed as a strategy for protecting the integrity of the biomedical literature. We examined whether authors' financial interests were disclosed consistently in articles on coronary stents published in 2006. We searched PubMed for English-language articles published in 2006 that provided evidence or guidance regarding the use of coronary artery stents. We recorded article characteristics, including information about authors' financial disclosures. The main outcome measures were the prevalence, nature, and consistency of financial disclosures. There were 746 articles, 2985 authors, and 135 journals in the database. Eighty-three percent of the articles did not contain disclosure statements for any author (including declarations of no interests). Only 6% of authors had an article with a disclosure statement. In comparisons between articles by the same author, the types of disagreement were as follows: no disclosure statements vs declarations of no interests (64%); specific disclosures vs no disclosure statements (34%); and specific disclosures vs declarations of no interests (2%). Among the 75 authors who disclosed at least 1 relationship with an organization, there were 2 cases (3%) in which the organization was disclosed in every article the author wrote. In the rare instances when financial interests were disclosed, they were not disclosed consistently, suggesting that there are problems with transparency in an area of the literature that has important implications for patient care. Our findings suggest that the inconsistencies we observed are due to both the policies of journals and the behavior of some authors.
