Mar 15, 2021: Read about our newest database profile from IBM®
The IBM® MarketScan® Hospital Drug Database provides researchers with inpatient drug utilization data from hospital discharge records since 2002. This database is derived primarily from hospital billing systems from US hospitals. These data allow researchers to evaluate drug use in the inpatient and outpatient settings, including hospital use patterns, switching behavior, combination therapy and patient characteristics.

Mar 4, 2021: Read about our 5th healthcare database profile from Singapore
The Singapore Renal Registry (SRR) started capturing patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD5) since 1999. In 2007, the Singapore General Hospital, which contributes about 50% of the new CKD5 cases each year, started to provide the SRR their list of patients with eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73m2. The SRR receives CKD5 case notifications from the public hospitals, dialysis centres, kidney transplant centres and private nephrology clinics.
