Financial Conflicts of Interest in Physicians' Relationships with the Pharmaceutical Industry — Self-Regulation in the Shadow of Federal Prosecution
Abstract
Studdert et al. describe recent efforts by the federal government and professional organizations to tighten the regulation of financial associations between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry. Payments to doctors (including gifts and consulting fees) by drug companies are violations of the federal anti-kickback law if the payments have the potential to increase the recipients' prescriptions for the companies' products. The Office of the Inspector General, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and physicians' organizations have issued guidelines prohibiting many types of financial relationships that have been common.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
