Abstract:
Physician-industry interactions are prevalent. Accurate reporting allows for transparency regarding potential conflicts of interest. We sought to compare the self-reported interactions in the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting disclosures with the industry-reported interactions in the Open Payments (OP) database. We performed a retrospective review of the 2014 OP database and the presenter disclosures for the AAD 73rd Annual Meeting in 2015. We examined general, research, and associated research payments for 768 dermatologists, totaling $35,627,365 in 2014. Although differences in the categorization and requirements for disclosure between the AAD and the OP database may account for much of the discordance, dermatologists should be aware of potentially negative public perceptions regarding transparency and prevalence of physician-industry interaction. Dermatologists should review their industry-reported interactions listed in the OP database and continue to disclose conflicts of interest as accurately as possible.
