Accuracy of Financial Disclosures by Scientific Presenters/Authors at the ASNR 2024 Annual Meeting.

Abstract

Physician-industry financial relationships can drive research and innovation, improving patient care and outcomes, but also potentially raise ethical concerns if not disclosed appropriately. This study shows high rates of nondisclosures by authors/presenters at the American Society of Neuroradiology 2024 annual meeting, despite strict requirements. A total of 86.4% of presenters/authors with records in the open payments database failed to disclose any financial relationship, and 89.9% of total industry payment value was not disclosed. Greater awareness should help improve disclosures and transparency, reducing the risk and perception of bias.
