Abstract
The French legislation on human subject research known as the Jardé law of 5th March 2012 has been applicable since November 2016. It concerns all research involving human subjects (RIPH, in French) and is defined according to 3 categories: high-risk interventional RIPH, low-risk interventional RIPH and non-interventional RIPH. This recent development in the supervision of research on human subjects had several objectives: to redefine the various categories of research, to strengthen data protection and to effectively address the ethical guidelines of international journals. The levels of constraint differ between categories of research according to level of risk, the common objective being to ensure patient protection. Retrospective studies based on information drawn from medical records or other databases, which are widely used in the surgical field, are not covered by the Jardé law. However, they require approval by local ethics committees and compliance with European legislation on personal data protection. Simplified procedures have been set up by the research and innovation departments in our university hospitals. In this update, we shall synthesize the legal prerequisites applying to retrospective studies on data from medical files.
