Tom Fogarty, one of most important surgical innovators ever: “No conflict = no interest”! Bravo @topknife

[Jeff Nahmias MD MHPE FACS FCCM @jnahmias1]

1. Industry partnership is beneficial and needed!!

2. COI disclosure is also needed

Robust discussion & the reminder is this study is on COI, where we need to work together & be better at

Great job presenting a difficult topic ⁦@topknife⁩ #fellowshipofthesnow

[Gregory A. Magee, MD MSc @gregamagee]

Very important talk by @topknife at #WTA2023 on REBOA COI. Calls to mind Tom Fogarty’s famous quote that “No conflict = no interest”.

[Eric Ley @EricLeyMD]

Excellent presentation on the inaccuracies of disclosures related to REBOA Bellal! A career should never be in jeopardy for presenting unfavorable data. Especially if it questions industry practices. Bravo! @topknife #WTA2023 #FellowshipOfTheSnow

[Hasan Alam @DrHasanAlam]

We will find out Tuesday morning. I will be in the audience, along with a thousand more, to bear witness @WesternTrauma

[Hasan Alam @DrHasanAlam]

All eyes are now on the @WesternTrauma leadership. Will they stand for the principles of academic freedom, peer review without pressure, and open discussion at a scientific meeting…

[Bellal Joseph @Topknife]

I been doing this 15 years as an attending and I have placed zero #Reboa and I’m willing to bet I’m not alone.
Good surgical skills strong resuscitation Knowledge and system in place to get to the Or is the secret sauce

Balloons are a piece of the puzzle 🧩 a very small piece

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

The Power of Industry in Medicine is tremendous, and the COST of speaking Truth to Power is real.

This is one example of how industry attempts to influence the narrative within medicine. @WesternTrauma

@prytimemedical - is the largest suppliers of REBOA catheter in the U.S.

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

This is based on a study that was done where the following abstract was submitted and accepted to @WesternTrauma:

"The Undisclosed Disclosures: The Dollar-Outcome Relationship in Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Trauma"

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

The authors did a study that ANYONE can replicate because it’s all open access.

The definition of Inaccurate COI disclosure is: If at least 1 author received payment and did not report in the published study.

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

This study by @topknife and team looked at the relationship between physicians and the #REBOA industry evaluating Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosures.

It is one of many studies that has looked at COI in disclosures: https://t.co/Uwq4tpUKB0

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

Now lets be clear about a few things:

✅ The relationship between clinicians and industry can be incredibly valuable

✅ I personally have no issue of educational or research type collaborations, and clinicians should be valued for the time they Invest

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

As background the goal of the Physician Payment Sunshine Act is to:

✅Improve transparency from industry to physicians

✅Mandates disclosures of all ‘payments’ or ‘transfers of value’

And all of this is publicly available at https://t.co/BsedOU9uKO

[Joseph Sakran @JosephSakran]

The @westerntrauma program committee, which is compiled of numerous clinicians and researchers from all across the country accepted the abstract for presentation:
