I learned from my own experience that both in academia and pharmaceutics, prompt identification and selection of an adequate database is very important. In an academic setting, analyzing data from registries is particularly of great advantage in countries with limited financial resources for research which requires significant investment. In pharmaceuticals there is an increasing request from regulatory authorities for companies to conduct post-authorization safety studies. B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA (BTD) contains detailed descriptions of databases from more than 70 countries, including descriptions of pregnancy registries. It is impressive that using BTD one can find information on databases even from small countries.

The B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA team did an excellent job for our organization profiling over 400 real-world databases and enabled us to identify a select few that best met our research criteria. We could not have done this work as effectively and efficiently on our own without BTD; the team was experienced and professional throughout the engagement. I highly recommend them for any organization needing to identify the best database for its research project.

B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA provides more than 300 healthcare database profiles from different countries. It allows users to compare various database profiles side-by-side.
