Topic

Use of Linked Databases in Pharmacoepidemiology: Considerations for Potential Selection Bias

Speaker

Dr. Jenny Sun
Epidemiologist, Safety Surveillance Research at Pfizer Inc.

Description

Epidemiologic studies of medications and vaccines are increasingly conducted using linked healthcare databases. However, when these linked data are only available for a subset of patients, there is a strong potential for selection bias. This seminar will focus on techniques using inverse probability of selection weights (IPSW) in conjunction with inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTW) to adjust for potential selection bias when using linked subsets to conduct epidemiologic studies within healthcare databases.
