Validation of the national health insurance research database with ischemic stroke cases in Taiwan
Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 236-242 - 2011
AbstractObjectiveThe National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) is
commonly used for pharmacoepidemiological research in Taiwan. This study
evaluated the validity of the database for patients with a principal diagnosis
of ischemic stroke.Study design and methodsThis cross‐sectional study compares
records in the NHIRD with those in one medical center. Patients hospitalized for
ischemic str...
Use of proportional reporting ratios (PRRs) for signal generation from spontaneous adverse drug reaction reports
Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 483-486 - 2001
AbstractBackgroundThe process of generating ‘signals’ of possible unrecognized
hazards from spontaneous adverse drug reaction reporting data has been likened
to looking for a needle in a haystack. However, statistical approaches to the
data have been underutilised.MethodsUsing the UK Yellow Card database, we have
developed and evaluated a statistical aid to signal generation called a
Proportional ...
Quantitative signal detection using spontaneous ADR reporting
Tập 18 Số 6 - Trang 427-436 - 2009
AbstractQuantitative methods are increasingly used to analyse spontaneous
reports. We describe the core concepts behind the most common methods, the
proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), information
component (IC) and empirical Bayes geometric mean (EBGM). We discuss the role of
Bayesian shrinkage in screening spontaneous reports, the importance of changes
over time in sc...
One‐to‐many propensity score matching in cohort studies
Tập 21 Số S2 - Trang 69-80 - 2012
ABSTRACTBackgroundAmong the large number of cohort studies that employ
propensity score matching, most match patients 1:1. Increasing the matching
ratio is thought to improve precision but may come with a trade‐off with respect
to bias.ObjectiveTo evaluate several methods of propensity score matching in
cohort studies through simulation and empirical analyses.MethodsWe simulated
cohorts of 20 000 ...
A systematic review of validated methods for identifying atrial fibrillation using administrative data
Tập 21 Số S1 - Trang 141-147 - 2012
ABSTRACTPurposeThe objectives of this study were to characterize the validity of
algorithms to identify AF from electronic health data through a systematic
review of the literature and to identify gaps needing further
research.MethodsTwo reviewers examined publications during 1997–2008 that
identified patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) from electronic health data
and provided validation inform...
Estimates of acetaminophen (paracetomal)‐associated overdoses in the United States
Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 398-405 - 2006
AbstractObjectiveTo estimate the number of acetaminophen‐associated overdoses in
the United States and identify possible risk factors for intervention.MethodsThe
investigators obtained estimates of acetaminophen‐associated overdoses using
different national databases. Two emergency room databases, a hospital discharge
database, a national mortality file, and a poison surveillance database were
use...
Polypharmacy and frailty: prevalence, relationship, and impact on mortality in a French sample of 2350 old people

A systematic review of validated methods for identifying venous thromboembolism using administrative and claims data
Tập 21 Số S1 - Trang 154-162 - 2012
ABSTRACTBackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication. Large
claims databases can potentially identify the effects that medications have on
VTE. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the evidence supporting the
validity of VTE codes.MethodsA search of MEDLINE database is supplemented by
manual searches of bibliographies of key relevant articles. We selected all
studies in whi...
