We are pleased to add the following 2 US database profiles:
- Mini-Sentinel Distributed Database (MSDD);

- Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results – Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (SEER-MHOS)

The MSDD was established in 2010 and uses pre-existing electronic healthcare data from multiple sources to explore a variety of approaches to improve the FDA’s ability to quickly identify and assess safety issues.

Dr. Freedman is the Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Branch Chief of the Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program, part of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute of NIH. We are happy to have him on our Board and look forward to his valuable input as we start profiling genetic databases and biobanks this year.

Our 271st and 272nd DB profiles belong to the Health Nutrition & Population Statistics (HNPS) Database (USA) and the German Health Risk Institute (HRI) Database (Germany).

HNPS is a comprehensive database of health, nutrition and population started by the World Bank in 1960.  The database includes 214 world economies with over 250 indicators.

The Kantar Health Epi Database^® is our 269^th database profile and provides epidemiology data with estimates from 2005 to 2040 for the G7 countries plus six key emerging countries.

Did you know our subscribers have access to a comprehensive alphabetized Glossary for terms used in the database profiles? Definitions for our 75 database fields are included, along with definitions for various coding systems from ABDA Datenbanken to Z-index!
