Description
Axel Wolsink and co-authors ask whether deferred consent is fair in a brain bleed surgery trial, in a 2026 conference report. In sudden stroke care, patients often cannot agree to join a trial before urgent treatment starts. Dutch law allows consent to be sought later, but its use in invasive trials stays debated.
The team phoned 100 trial participants or their proxies, with a 78 percent response rate. Of those, 88 percent agreed with the deferred approach, citing the need for speed and the patient's lack of capacity. Just 3 percent disagreed, and 9 percent were neutral. The results back deferred consent as workable in this acute trial, while noting the case for care in how it is explained.
