European Association of Urology Guidelines Office: How We Ensure Transparent Conflict of Interest Disclosure and Management

Emma Jane Smith et al. Eur Urol. 2020 Apr.

Abstract

Conflicts of interest (COIs) can potentially introduce a risk of bias into the assessment of evidence and the formulation of recommendations for guidelines. It is essential that a systematic process for the disclosure and management of COIs is adopted to minimise potential bias in the guideline development process.
