  • Discussion of stakeholder interests in research publication.

    • Main Results:

    • Ethical justification for research and practice differs significantly.
    • Informed consent for medical record research is often unnecessary if patients receive adequate notice.
    • Careful planning is needed to prevent intrusive patient data access.
    • Publication timing and format require balancing diverse stakeholder interests.

    Conclusions:

    • Clear distinctions between research and practice are essential for ethical postmarketing surveillance.
    • Patient privacy and autonomy must be respected when accessing medical records.
    • Transparent and balanced publication practices are vital for public trust and regulatory compliance.
