Conflict of Interest Disclosure in American Arthroplasty Surgical Literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Relationships between industry and physicians are critical for innovation in the field of arthroplasty surgery. However, these relationships can present a conflict of interest (COI) for medical research and are required to be disclosed by most journals. The rate of accurate disclosures by physicians has not been studied in arthroplasty surgery.

Methods

The names of all authors publishing in The Journal of Arthroplasty and Arthroplasty Today between 2014 and 2018 were obtained from MEDLINE. Financial disclosure statements were obtained from the journal websites and manually compared against Open Payments. Statistical comparisons were made using chi-square testing with significance defined as P < .05.

Results

From 2014-2018, 3147 articles
