[Duration and variation of the ethics approval process in Germany - an example from a non-interventional study with 44 participating centers].

CONCLUSION: Submitting ethics approval applications for observational studies in a clinical setting involved considerable effort and long waiting times in 2017 and 2018. Simplified review procedures or a waiver of examination by local IRBs do not necessarily mean shorter processing times. In general, further progress is still needed.
