please see the very detailed IOM report http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12598&page=6 It contains the following definition: Conflicts of interest are defined as*circumstances that create a risk that professional judgments or actions* *regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary* *interest.* The word POTENTIAL in relation to conflict of interest should be avoided. A COI is a risk and therefore by definition a potential. COI doesn't deal with causation i.e. whether they have actually influenced decisions, only that there is a risk.
