We are making strides towards adding new database profiles from more countries. We now have our first profile from Ukraine: National Cancer Registry of Ukraine.
Started in 1989, it collects information about all cases of malignant neoplasms in Ukraine in all age groups. Since the year 2002, this registry covers cases from the whole country. This population-based cancer registry is also linked to, but distinct from, the hospital-based cancer registry.
8/8/14: List of databases currently declining to be profiled
The main goal of B.R.I.D.G.E. is to profile databases from around the world with the most current information. Although we try to include as many profiles as possible, we unfortunately cannot profile every database. We work with each database manager to ensure their database profile is complete and accurate, as well as receive explicit permission for their database to be listed. Some reasons for declined participation are time constraints, non-commercial interests, and information disclosure restrictions.
8/5/14: New Italian profile added.
The IMS LifeLink™ Longitudinal Rx (LRx) Database from Italy consists of dispensed reimbursed patient level prescription data collected through the retail pharmacy channel as well as select Distribution per account (DPC) channel. This database has data starting 2011 for retail channel and since 2013 for DPC channel, and is updated on a monthly basis. The database includes only NHS reimbursed products distributed in retail and DPC channels; no hospital products are tracked. Read more about it here
7/23/14: Search improvement to “Drug Data” criterion
Based on user requests, we have updated the search logic for the “Drug Data” criterion. When you choose 'Yes' for the “Drug Data” field, all the database profiles with the following search results will appear as a 100% match:
- Yes
- Yes: Prescription & OTC
- Yes: Prescription only
- Yes: OTC only
We hope you will find this feature useful and continue sharing your user experiences with us!
