Research jointly conducted with Juntendo University (Real-World Evidence and Data Assessment) has been published in Drugs - Real World Outcomes.

We collaborated with Juntendo University on a new scientific publication that addresses the challenges of generating real-world evidence (RWE) in Japan using real-world data (RWD). Key challenges discussed include transparency of RWD sources, data linkage across care settings, definition of clinical outcomes, transparency of study design, and management of biases. Our publication suggests strategies to overcome these challenges and enhance the credibility of RWE studies in Japan.

Research jointly conducted with Juntendo University (Real-World Evidence and Data Assessment) has been published in BMC Health Services Research.

We collaborated with Juntendo University on a new scientific publication that evaluated claims-based algorithms for detecting patients with colorectal cancer using administrative claims data in a Japanese hospital. The results showed that the diagnosis code-based algorithm had a high positive predictive value (PPV) of 86.3%, which increased to 94.0% when the diagnosis codes were restricted to site-specific cancer codes, and was sufficient and valid for identifying colorectal cancer.
