ABSTRACT
Introduction.
Ethic is a fundamental process during research development. Ethics review board (ERB) approval should be reported in the research
synthesis (abstract), to guarantee methodological and statistical third parties assessment and participants wellbeing. In Jalisco, the Congreso
Internacional Avances en Medicina (CIAM) is the most important academic event related to health sciences. In order to understand the
scientific behavior related to the ethics description, we decided to review the research projects published in the “CIAM” manuscript. Our
objective was to determine the ERB approval and participants informed consent in the research projects published at the XIX “CIAM”.
Methods.
We identified eligible trials published in the “Archivos de Ciencia” XIX CIAM magazine. We included trials if they were identified to
perform research in humans. Two review authors independently extracted data (ERB approval and IC) and disagreements were solved by
discussion. Results were expressed as percentages.
Results.
A total of 679 trials were evaluated, of which 617 (90.9%) were classified as human research. 33 (5.3%) corresponded to basic sciences, 151
(24.5%) clinical research, 236 (38.2%) case reports, 81 (13.1%) epidemiological research, 36 (5.8%) educational research, 24 (3.9%) quality
management in health services and 56 (9.1%) in mental health. The EBR was present in 6 abstracts (1%) and the participant's IC was present in
66 abstracts (10.7%).
Discussion.
Currently, an international effort is been made to increase the transparency in research development, and medical conferences are not an
exception. The presence of ERB approval and participant´s IC might improve the research quality and guarantee the participants wellbeing.
Conclusion:
We showed that the ERB approval and participant´s IC were reported in very few occasions. This situation might encourage the conference
organizers to use the templates available to report the research projects (equator network).
