To suggest future directions for the improvement in the Institutional Review Board (IRB) review process and efficient operation of
IRB, we have analyzed the IRB review results from 460 new research proposals submitted to the Review by the Convened IRB of the Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital IRB from January 2019 to July 2021. IRB is an independently established institutional committee to protect the human subjects by reviewing the research protocol in ethical as well as scientific aspects, so it is
necessary to continuously contemplate the ethical versus scientific dilemma of 'what is ethical or scientific and what can actually
protect human subjects.' Particularly, in this process, it is necessary to consider diverse ways to strengthen self-supervision
through continuous Internal Audit rather than simple reporting outcomes. In addition, if it does not directly affect the protection of the human subjects, the discussion with the committee members is needed so that the comments such as administrative and typographical errors can be reduced as much as possible. Furthermore, as statistical analysis methods can have a significant impact on the safety of human subjects, if a legal basis and/or support related to statistics is provided for the composition of IRB members, a more specialized IRB review will be achieved.
