However, it has been shown many times that authors of professional society CPG<\/jats:styled-content>s receive large sums of money from industry drug companies, creating financial conflicts of interest. This study investigated industry payments catalogued in the Open Payments Database (OPD<\/jats:styled-content>) that have been received by authors of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR<\/jats:styled-content>) CPG<\/jats:styled-content>s.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>Guidelines on the ACR<\/jats:styled-content> web site that were published during or after August 2014 were used to retrieve the list of authors. All general, research, associated research, and ownership payments reported on the OPD<\/jats:styled-content> between the date of publication of the CPG<\/jats:styled-content> and 12 months prior were extracted in a parallel and blinded manner by 2 investigators.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Of the 89 US<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010based physician\u2010authors from the 5 ACR CPG<\/jats:styled-content>s identified within the study timeframe, 56 (62.9%) had received at least 1 payment according to OPD<\/jats:styled-content> records. These 56 authors had received a median of $522 (interquartile range $119\u20132,500), which, combined, was a total of $9,728,751. Nineteen authors had received at least 1 industry payment relevant to the CPG<\/jats:styled-content> recommendations, for a median amount of $748 and a total of $1,961,362 in relevant payments. Of the total relevant payments received, a significant proportion was undisclosed (for ACR CPG<\/jats:styled-content>s during or after August 2014, undisclosed payments were $699,561, or 35.7% of the total).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Fewer than one\u2010half of the US<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010based physician\u2010authors of ACR CPG<\/jats:styled-content>s during or after August 2014 had received guideline\u2010relevant industry payments. Nonetheless, a substantial proportion of the money received was not disclosed.
