As of 2019, Germany has still not been able to provide a national poisoning register and toxicovigilance for sufficient and reliable information on human exposure for the purpose of identification and assessment of toxic risk to the public. In particular, the USA acts as a special model, but France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden also have efficient poisoning registers and toxicovigilanc

More than 70% of patients with breast cancer present with node-negative disease, yet all undergo surgical axillary staging. We aimed to define predictors of nodal metastasis using clinicopathological characteristics (CLINICAL), gene expression data (GEX), and mixed features (MIXED) and to identify patients at low risk of metastasis who might be spared sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

A major challenge in clinical research today is the difficulty that studies have in meeting recruitment goals. Up to 48% of studies do not meet accrual goals within the specified timeframe, significantly delaying the progress of projects and the dissemination of findings. This pervasive problem is a recruitment crisis. We developed a representative, ethnically and racially diverse research partici

The National Spinal Cord Injury Registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR) is a not-for-profit, hospital-based, and prospective observational registry that appraises the quality of care, long-term outcomes and the personal and psychological burden of traumatic spinal cord injury in Iran. Benchmarking validity in every registry includes rigorous attention to data quality. New publication in Chinese Journal of Tra
Vascunet has previously published an international comparison of registry data within vascular surgery. Data validity and completeness in participating registries is essential for a meaningful interpretation of differences between countries. The Vascunet collaboration has therefore developed a methodology for validation of international vascular registry data, previously used for validation of two

The use of clinical autopsy has been in decline for many years throughout healthcare systems of developed countries despite studies showing substantial discrepancies between autopsy results and pre-mortal clinical diagnoses. We conducted a study to evaluate over time the use and results of clinical autopsies in Sweden. We reviewed the autopsy reports and autopsy referrals of 2410 adult (age > 17)

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, inflammatory relapsing disease with increasing incidence. IBD research and long-term follow-up of patients have, however, been hampered by lack of detailed data on disease phenotype, patient-reported outcome measures, Physician Global Assessment, disease activity, and hospital-administered drugs.

The World Cancer Research Fund International has concluded strong evidence for that high intake of dairy products and foods containing dietary fiber and low intake of processed meat are associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). As food items are consumed together, it is important to study dietary patterns. New publication in European Journal of Cancer Prevention
Orphan drugs are medicines intended to treat, prevent, or diagnose a rare and serious condition. The collection of pre-marketing safety and efficacy data for orphan drugs is very challenging for several reasons related to the rarity of the diseases. This highlights the need for robust post-marketing evidence generation. Real-world data sources, such as claims databases, electronic healthcare recor

Oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and human epidermal receptor 2-negative (HER2–) breast cancers are classified as Luminal A or B based on gene expression, but immunohistochemical markers are used for surrogate subtyping. The aims of this study were to examine the agreement between molecular subtyping (MS) and surrogate subtyping and to identify subgroups consisting mainly of Luminal A or B tumour
Patient registries, ‘organised systems that use observational methods to collect uniform data on a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that is followed over time’, are potentially valuable sources of data for supporting regulatory decision-making, especially for products to treat rare diseases. Nevertheless, patient registries are greatly underused in regulatory

We investigated the dosage assumptions of 1 unit per day, and 1 DDD per day, versus actual prescribed dosage under different handling of gaps and overlaps of prescriptions.

Sibling comparison designs have long been used to assess causal effects of exposures for which randomized studies are impossible and measurement of all relevant confounding is unobtainable. The idea is to utilize the fact that siblings often share a lot of unobserved variables. Therefore, it is proposed that in certain cases, comparing siblings is equivalent to comparing exchangeable individuals,
