The Relationship of Clinical Biobank and Clinical Disciplines: A Survey
Among Medical and Scientific Professionals in Hospital of China
Abstract
Objectives: Clinical biobank is an important way to collect biological
samples of various diseases, which is of great significance for clinical
research. However, the relationship of clinical biobank and clinical
disciplines still need to be further explored, thus we conducted a
survey among medical and scientific professionals in a hospital of
China. Method: The survey was conducted online, and electronic
questionnaires were used to investigate knowledge, utilization and
demand of biobank of medical and scientific professionals in different
clinical disciplines. In terms of data analysis, chi-square test and
rank sum test were used to analyze the collected data. Results: A total
of 182 valid questionnaires were collected. The overall survey
participation rate of key disciplines is higher than that of non-key
disciplines. Key disciplines have higher score on the knowledge of
biobank than non-key disciplines. The proportion of sample storage and
sample delivery of key disciplines are far higher than non-key
disciplines, and key disciplines have higher sample delivery rate than
non-key disciplines. The proportion of people who are willing to pay to
store samples and people who are willing to pay more than 5000 yuan per
year for sample storage in key disciplines are higher than that in
non-key disciplines. The per capita national grant application, the
approval rate of national grant and per capita published English papers
of key disciplines are higher than those of non-key disciplines.
Conclusion: Key disciplines are more enthusiastic about the construction
of biobank. On the whole, the knowledge, utilization and demand on
biobank of key disciplines are better than those of non-key disciplines.
The development of key disciplines is better than that of non-key
disciplines. The development of clinical biobank is closely related to
the development of clinical disciplines, and clinical biobank is an
important booster for the development of clinical disciplines.
