Posted by Gary Schwitzer in Conflicts of interest
Both worth a closer look:
An opinion piece on TheScientist.com, “Bias Is Unavoidable: Simply disclosing conflicts of interest is not enough.”
and
An opinion piece, “Off-Label Drug Disclosure Inadequate: Some 85 percent of researchers involved in promoting off-label drug use do not adequately disclose financial conflicts of interest in published articles.”
Comments are closed.
Better than a competing piece by Reuters but still a little short on some details about this asthma drug study.
An adequate summary of this asthma drug trial’s design doesn’t make up for the overly optimistic tone about the drug’s future. A New York Times story was better.
This story focuses on a family that may have a rare genetic mutation that increases their risk of heart disease. Unfortunately, the “rare” part wasn’t mentioned until 1,600 words into this 2,100 word story.
