| Popis: | Goodman and Gilman&rsquo s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics (GGPBT) has been a cornerstone in the education of pharmacists, physicians, and pharmacologists for decades. The objectives of this study were to describe and evaluate the 13th edition of GGPBT on bases including: (1) author characteristics (2) recency of citations (3) conflict of interest (CoI) disclosure (4) expert evaluation of chapters. Contributors&rsquo (N = 115) sex, professional degrees, and presence of undisclosed potential CoI&mdash as reported by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid&rsquo s Open Payments (2013&ndash 2017)&mdash were examined. The year of publication of citations was extracted relative to Katzung&rsquo s Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (KatBCP), and DiPiro&rsquo s Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach (DiPPAPA). Content experts provided thorough chapter reviews. The percent of GGPBT contributors that were female (20.9%) was equivalent to those in KatBCP (17.0%). Citations in GGPBT (11.5 ± 0.2 years) were significantly older than those in KatBCP (10.4 ± 0.2) and DiPPAPA (9.1 ± 0.1, p < 0.0001). Contributors to GGPBT received USD 3 million in undisclosed remuneration (Maximum author = USD 743,718). In contrast, DiPPAPA made CoI information available. Reviewers noted several strengths but also some areas for improvement. GGPBT will continue to be an important component of the biomedical curriculum. Areas of improvement include a more diverse authorship, improved conflict of interest transparency, and a greater inclusion of more recent citations. |
