Potential conflict of interest of SAGES annual meeting presentations: can we do better?
The majority of authors disclosed their pCOI at SAGES in 2023 and 2024. Undisclosed authors may still have spCOI. Disclosure allows audiences to decide if relationships impact data presented. Disclosing the mere existence of pCOI seems insufficient as the amount of dollars is substantially high for some authors. All presentations should include the dollar amounts for full disclosure of pCOI for future programs.
