Abstract In the March issue of BJS several hot topics within the breast surgery field are highlighted in beautifully planned and executed prospective multicentre trials. BJS encourages the surgical communities in most fields to move towards prospective collaborative and multicentre studies, thereby increasing both power and generalizability as well as reducing the risk of bias.

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of Panel 2b was to present an overview of and recommendations for the conduct of implementation trials and multicentre studies in emergency medicine.MethodsPanel members engaged methodologists to discuss the design and conduct of implementation and multicentre studies. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with 37 Canadian adult and pediatric emergency medicine researchers to elicit barriers and facilitators to conducting these kinds of studies.ResultsResponses were organized by themes, and, based on these responses, recommendations were developed and refined in an iterative fashion by panel members.ConclusionsWe offer eight recommendations to facilitate multicentre clinical and implementation studies, along with guidance for conducting implementation research in the emergency department. Recommendations for multicentre studies reflect the importance of local study investigators and champions, requirements for research infrastructure and staffing, and the cooperation and communication between the coordinating centre and participating sites.

SummaryTwo distinct double-blind randomized multicentre studies were undertaken at the same time using the same design. Patients treated for insomnia with zopiclone 7.5 mg or zolpidem 10 mg for at least three months were allocated to two groups: gradual withdrawal or control. In each study the two groups were compared but there was no comparison between zopiclone and zolpidem. The main criteria was the number of patients in each group with “withdrawal syndrome” defined as: the occurrence of an adverse event, or premature discontinuation of treatment or a total score increase of at least 3 points on the Tyrer questionnaire. In both studies the incidence of “withdrawal syndrome” as defined above was significantly higher in the “withdrawal” groups than in the “control” groups 38% vs 20% for zopiclone p = 0.008 and 38% vs 24% for zolpidem P = 0.049. In most cases, the notified symptoms were sleep complaints.
