ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest

Instructions

The purpose of this form is to provide readers of your manuscript with information about your other interests that could
influence how they receive and understand your work. The form is designed to be completed electronically and stored
electronically. It contains programming that allows appropriate data display. Each author should submit a separate
form and is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the submitted information. The form is in six parts.

1. Identifying information.
2. The work under consideration for publication.
This section asks for information about the work that you have submitted for publication. The time frame for this reporting is that of the
work itself, from the initial conception and planning to the present. The requested information is about resources that you received,
either directly or indirectly (via your institution), to enable you to complete the work. Checking "No" means that you did the work
without receiving any financial support from any third party -- that is, the work was supported by funds from the same institution that
pays your salary and that institution did not receive third-party funds with which to pay you. If you or your institution received funds
from a third party to support the work, such as a government granting agency, charitable foundation or commercial sponsor, check
"Yes".

3. Relevant financial activities outside the submitted work.

This section asks about your financial relationships with entities in the bio-medical arena that could be perceived to influence, or that
give the appearance of potentially influencing, what you wrote in the submitted work. You should disclose interactions with ANY entity
that could be considered broadly relevant to the work. For example, if your article is about testing an epidermal growth factor receptor
(EGFR) antagonist in lung cancer, you should report all associations with entities pursuing diagnostic or therapeutic strategies in cancer
in general, not just in the area of EGFR or lung cancer.
Report all sources of revenue paid (or promised to be paid) directly to you or your institution on your behalf over the 36 months prior to
submission of the work. This should include all monies from sources with relevance to the submitted work, not just monies from the
entity that sponsored the research. Please note that your interactions with the work's sponsor that are outside the submitted work
should also be listed here. If there is any question, it is usually better to disclose a relationship than not to do so.
For grants you have received for work outside the submitted work, you should disclose support ONLY from entities that could be
perceived to be affected financially by the published work, such as drug companies, or foundations supported by entities that could be
perceived to have a financial stake in the outcome. Public funding sources, such as government agencies, charitable foundations or
academic institutions, need not be disclosed. For example, if a government agency sponsored a study in which you have been involved
and drugs were provided by a pharmaceutical company, you need only list the pharmaceutical company.

4. Intellectual Property.
This section asks about patents and copyrights, whether pending, issued, licensed and/or receiving royalties.

5. Relationships not covered above.

Use this section to report other relationships or activities that readers could perceive to have influenced, or that give the appearance of
potentially influencing, what you wrote in the submitted work.
