Undisclosed conflicts of interest in German-language textbooks of anesthesiology, critical care, and emergency medicine.

CONCLUSIONS: Recommendations on volume resuscitation with HES are highly controversial in German-language electronic textbooks; about one-quarter of relevant textbooks are inconsistent with regulatory authority or international guideline criteria. Undisclosed potential COI of textbook authors making controversial recommendations of HES were frequent, linking roughly one in five authors to the HES-producing industry. Against this background, COI statements must become part of standard textbook publication ethics. PMID: 30472275 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
