Data Analytics

A rather vague term, Real World Data for us means databases that contain sufficiently detailed medical information on a sufficiently large population to be used for generating evidence on the need and impact of medical interventions. These can be electronic medical records spanning a large number of patients, hospitals or GP practices, health insurance records (billing information), surveillance databases, laboratory databases, registries, prescription databases and more. We also provide analytical services, both in support of our Pharmacovigilance and Epidemiology services, but also as a stand-alone service. To enable clients to make optimal use of this increasingly rich and extensive source of medical data, we offer the following services: * Real-world data identification * Feasibility assessment * Single and multi-database analyses * Analytical services * QC and coding support * Algorithm development * Data visualization tools * Data mining * Process and methods development * Quality control * Small cell risk analysis Some examples of projects in this area are: * A database study on risk factors for a vaccine preventable invasive disease in Europe and North America. * A database study on the prevalence of multidrug resistance in patients with a vaccine preventable invasive disease in North America. * The role of Hepatitis B infection in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) among diabetics In England. * The seasonality of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in England. * Effectiveness of Herpes Zoster vaccination and reasons for vaccine failure. * Small cell risk analyses for a chronic disease registry prior to its release for research purposes. * Development of an interactive dashboard to represent at the European level data for disease incidence and prevalence per country, data source, age group, time period and disease type.
