Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Ultrasound Elastography for Liver Fibrosis Staging
Measurement of liver stiffness by ultrasound can be used as a non-invasive alternative of liver biopsy to stage liver fibrosis, a condition afflicting hundredsof millions of patients worldwide and 900,000 Americans. Current ultrasound measurements of liver stiffness have very high failure rate in obese patients (about 36% of adults in USA are obese). In this study, we will develop and test a new ultrasound technology for liver fibrosis staging that has high measurement success rate in obese patients.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
