We are making strides into adding new database profiles from more countries. We now have our first profile from Croatia, namely HALMED Pharmacovigilance Database (listed in B.R.I.D.G.E. as the Croatian PV Database). We will try to profile some more Croatian databases soon, as well as databases from other Eastern European countries.
Download our latest poster “Spontaneous Reporting Data: A Global Comparison Using An Online Database Resource," which was presented at ISPOR’s 18th Annual International Meeting in New Orleans, LA on May 20, 2013. The poster describes, through the use of B.R.I.D.G.E., data elements in spontaneous reporting systems (SRS) that are useful for evaluating safety signals. The frequency of use of the different data fields was compared across several SRS and the CIOMS report form.
