External databases - RWD - RWE
The objective of this module is to provide you knowledge and understanding of the concepts and principles in pharmacovigilance globally with a focus in North America such as :
- Have an overview of the FAERS database, particularly the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), Access to the system, Uses of FAERS, Interpretation of statistical safety signals, Strengths of the FAERS Database and Limitations of the FAERS Database
- Have an overview of the FDA Sentinel System, particularly on the current FDA Sentinel Monitoring System and the future FDA strategies to enhance Sentinel over the next 5 years
- Discuss new data sources for information on medicines consumption, describe some of these new data sources through a reflection based on a couple of practical examples and critically assess some advantages and biases of these kind of studies.
- Highlight the importance of how patients actually use medicines in the appearance of adverse drug reactions, discuss some examples showing the potentiality of analysing the characteristics of use of medicines, help you to identify potential sources of information on medicines use and discuss strengths, limitations and biases of different sources of information describing medicines use.
What will you learn
At the end of this module, the successful trainees should:
- Be able to describe the FAERS database, explain how to access the FAERS database, enumerate the uses of the FAERS database, interpret safety signals derived from the FAERS database, describe strengths of the FAERS database and describe the limitations of the FAERS database
- Be enable to understand the current system capabilities, become familiar with innovative approaches being undertaken to strengthen the system’s data infrastructure, become familiar with the effort to establish the Sentinel System as a multi-purpose national data and scientific resource center for evidence-generation that a wide array of stakeholders use to inform all aspects of healthcare decision-making
- Know some biases and limitations of the traditional medicines consumption data sources, have revised a couple of examples describing studies conducting by using large databases, and know the practical application and present limitations of these calculations
- Look at how patients are taking their medicines each time you assess any potential adverse drug reaction, identify when an inappropriate use of medicines can be the cause of an unnecessary adverse drug reaction and plan analyses of medicines utilization data sources in order to identify preventable adverse drug reactions
