German experts call for all studies to be registered and all results to be published.
The results of 30% of all clinical studies led by German university hospitals remain unpublished.
Studies involving medical devices need improved transparency, according to Christine Fuhrmann, PhD, deputy chair of the KKS Network and head of the Study Center Bonn at the University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany."In the case of medical devices, we have a dysfunctional European register, the EUDAMED register. As researchers, we cannot yet publish our results from studies involving medical devices there," said Fuhrmann.
Schmidt sees inadequate digitization as one of the main problems. To facilitate registration for researchers, the AKEK now plans to simplify the process using digital tools, so that registration could occur almost automatically when the study protocol is created.According to Meerpohl, researchers conducting studies most commonly cite"lack of time" as the reason for not reporting study results. In addition, research sometimes happens in the investigators' spare time.
