Disclosures


As a provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the American Society of Hematology must ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all of the educational activities it sponsors. All authors are expected to disclose any financial relationships with any proprietary entity producing health care goods or services that have occurred within 24 months from the start of or during the production of the work and that are relevant to the author’s content. If an author has such an interest, then they must disclose the name of the commercial interest and nature of the relationship (eg, consultant or grantee). An author who has no such financial relationship must declare that they have nothing to disclose. The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent an author with a significant financial or other relationship from making a presentation, but rather to provide readers with information that they can use to make their own judgments. It remains for the audience to determine whether the author’s interests or relationships may influence the work with regard to exposition or conclusion.
