High-quality surgical trials are essential for evidence-based treatment. Integrating non-university surgical departments into multicenter trials can improve patient recruitment and trial quality.
Area of Science:
- Surgical research methodology
- Clinical trial design
- Evidence-based medicine
Context:
- Growing demand for high-quality evidence-based surgical treatment in Germany.
- Recognition of suboptimal quality in existing surgical trials.
- Establishment of professional infrastructure for surgical trials in six centers since 2006.
Purpose:
- To initiate surgical multicenter trials through local networking.
- To explore the integration of non-university surgical departments into multicenter trials.
- To identify strategies for motivating high patient recruitment in these trials.
Summary:
- A questionnaire survey assessed interest, experience, and structural conditions in non-university surgical departments in Berlin and Brandenburg.
- The study evaluated the potential for integrating these departments into multicenter trials.
- Findings will guide methods for effective patient recruitment and successful trial conduct.
Impact:
- Facilitating the establishment of robust surgical multicenter trials.
- Enhancing the quality and generalizability of surgical evidence.
- Improving patient access to high-quality, evidence-based surgical care.
