The correspondence Managing Conflicts of Interest in Practice Guidelines Panels. JAMA. 2017;318(9):866-867（http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2652643） was published on The Journal of the American Medical Association(JAMA )on Sept 5th 2017, which was jointly written by Mr. Chen Yaolong of LZU as its first author, Mr. Yang Kehu as its corresponding author and Doc. Susan Norris of WHO as its co-author. It put forward four solutions on how to manage and report the interest conflicts in Clinical Practice Guideline: 1) Make a detailed list of funding sources in every phase when the guideline was drawn up; 2) Illustrate the roles that sponsors played in the whole process of formulation, transmission and implementation of the guideline. 3) Make a report on the type of conflicts of interest related to the guideline (including the conflicts of professional use and economic benefits). 4) Illustrate how to evaluate and manage the interest conflicts in the guideline and inform the guideline users about how to get the files declaring conflicts of interest.
This is the first time LZU’s scholars have published articles on JAMA. Founded in 1883, JAMA is the journal of American Medical Association as well as the most famous and authoritative comprehensive medical academic journal in the world. In 2016, its impact factor was 44.405. The correspondence is the complement of A Reporting Tool for Practice Guidelines in Health Care: The RIGHT Statement which Mr. Chen Yaolong and Mr.Yang Kehu published on Annals of Internal Medicine, a medical journal with internal authority in January this year. Right Declaration was also invited as a long oral presentation in Global Evidence Summit held in Cape Town of South Africa from September 13 to 17 this year to give an oral report to evidence-based medicine experts and scholars from other countries.
