Resumo: As part of the innovation process, clinical research generates valuable data to assess technological solutions in healthcare, linking scientific research and knowledge transfer to provide beneficial innovations for society. However, the generated clinical data do not appear to be adequately available to the scientific community and society. The present study seeks to analyze the effectiveness of databases of clinical records as a source of relevant information for scientific research. We conducted acomparative analysis of 27 correlations of clinical trials between three different technologies and their scientific articles by consulting two information sources. Making connections between the data from these sources proved to be challenging. In addition, a considerable time lag (40 months on average) was observed between the end of the study and the publication of the results. Among the completed studies, 56% had not published their results in any of the channels studied. In addition to the paucity of reported results, the poor publication record of clinical trials is further evident in the lack of information on thesestudies in scientific publications. Thus, databases of clinical records are a potential source of information and may come to represent a central tool in the search for new technological solutions in healthcare.

Entretanto, os dados clínicos gerados parecem não estar disponíveis adequadamente à comunidade científica e à sociedade. O presente estudo buscou analisar o potencial das bases de registros clínicos como fonte de informação relevante às pesquisas científicas e, para isso, foi realizada uma análise comparativa de 27 correlações de estudos clínicos de três diferentes tecnologias e seus artigos científicos em duas fontes de informação distintas. Nesse universo amostral, observou-se importante e limitante dificuldade em associar com exatidão os dados dessas fontes. Foi possível, ainda, observar um grande lapso temporal (40 meses em média) entre o encerramento de um estudo e a publicização dos resultados. Considerando os estudos finalizados, 56% não tiveram seus resultados publicados em nenhum dos canais estudados. A publicação dos estudos clínicos pode se mostrar ainda mais negligenciada quando se percebe que, além da ausência de resultados, não há qualquer informação desses estudos em publicações científicas. Assim, as bases de registros clínicos se apresentam como uma fonte de informação em potencial – e, por vezes, única – para suprir conhecimento na busca por novas soluções tecnológicas em saúde.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2022-08-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtículo revisado por paresAvaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/6531Transinformação; Vol. 34 (2022); 1-16Transinformação; Vol. 34 (2022); 1-16Transinformação; v. 34 (2022); 1-162318-08890103-3786reponame:Transinformação (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/6531/4183Copyright (c) 2022 Transinformaçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTrigueiros, Bárbara Adriana Ferreira dos Santos Ávila, Andréa RodriguesPimenta, Fabricia Pires2024-04-02T12:31:03Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6531Revistahttp://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/transinfo/indexPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpsbi.nucleodeeditoracao@puc-campinas.edu.br2318-08890103-3786opendoar:2024-04-02T12:31:03Transinformação (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
