Article Abstract

Introduction: The French College of Gynecology and Obstetrics (CNGOF) has created an Ethical Review Board called the CEROG that aim to ensure the research projects are in conformity with the regulation and the laws, as well as to allow their publication in international scientific journals. The aim of this work was to analyze the work of this committee through the application received and to review the ethical procedures required by type of research project.

Methods: We conducted a national retrospective study of all applications from 2018 to 2021 received by the CEROG Ethical Review Board. Each application must contain a verification of conformity with the MR004 regulation, a submission form and an information form to the patients involved. At reception, the documents are anonymized and then addressed to the members of one of the two independent sections (Obstetric and Prenatal diagnosis or Gynecology and Assisted Reproductive Therapy).

Results: Two hundred and sixty applications were received, including 52% in the Gynecology section and 48% in the Obstetrics' section. Only 10% (14/136) and 8% (10/124) were disapproved, respectively. In total, 35% of the applications to the Gynecology section leaded to publications in scientific journals but only 23% did so in the Obstetrics section. Most publications (60.8%) were in low impact factors journals (rank D and E).

Conclusion: The Ethical Review Board CEROG is essential to ensure the conformity of the research projects with French regulations and allow fast publication in international journals.
