Zusammenfassung

Seit der Gründung im Jahre 2003 steht das Studienzentrum der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Chirurgie (SDGC) allen Chirurgen bei der Umsetzung ihrer Studienideen in multizentrische randomisierte Studien zur Verfügung. Sowohl in der Planungsphase (Fallzahlberechnung, Protokollerstellung, Förderanträge) als auch in der Durchführung (Ethikantrag, Datenmanagement, Monitoring) und Auswertung (statistische Analyse, Publikation) bietet das SDGC seine Unterstützung an und kooperiert dabei eng mit der medizinischen Biometrie und dem Datenmanagement. Bisher konnten über 2500 Patienten in insgesamt 11 Studien eingeschlossen werden. Die bisher größte Studie des SDGC (SYNCHRONOUS) mit bis zu 80 teilnehmenden Zentren wurde im September 2011 aktiviert. Für Studienplanung und Ergebniszusammenführung gewinnen systematische Reviews mit Metaanalysen zunehmend an Bedeutung. Daher etablierte das SDGC eine interne Arbeitsgruppe zur Erstellung solcher systematischen Übersichtsarbeiten. Bisher konnten 13 Arbeiten erfolgreich publiziert werden, 8 weitere sind aktuell in Bearbeitung.

Abstract

Since the Study Center of the German Surgical Society (SDGC) was established in 2003 it has been supporting surgeons to implement their ideas for multicenter randomized studies. Assistance is provided for development (sample size calculation, protocol, funding application) implementation (submission to ethics committee, data management, monitoring) and analysis (statistical analysis, publication) in close collaboration with biometricians and data managers. Currently more than 2,500 patients have been included in 11 trials. The most complex SDGC study (SYNCHRONOUS) so far with up to 80 participating centers has been activated in September 2011. Furthermore, there is an increasing relevance for systematic reviews and meta analyses with regard to the development of studies and aggregation of results. For this reason a systematic review working group was established within the SDGC. To date 13 publications have been completed and 8 more are underway.
