About this Research Topic
Worldwide, researchers are conducting cutting-edge research in the field of Pharmacoepidemiology. The research showcased herein underscores the caliber and breadth of researchers in the Pharmacoepidemiology domain. We invite submissions in the form of original research, review, mini review, case report, hypothesis and theory, and perspectives. These contributions may include both experimental and computational studies, addressing an array of themes, including but not limited to:
1. The impact of Drug-Related Problems (DRPs), including potentially inappropriate medication use (PIM), anticholinergic burden, polypharmacy, and the use of high-risk medications, on health, economic, and clinical outcomes across diverse clinical settings such as primary care, hospitals, communities, nursing homes, aged care facilities, and home care. This comprehensive exploration will encompass aspects of health outcomes, economic ramifications, and clinical considerations, utilizing a range of methodologies including clinical epidemiology, real-world data analysis, pharmacovigilance, drug utilization studies, temporal trend analysis, propensity score matching, marginal structural modeling, and observational studies. Additionally, intervention studies focusing on deprescribing, evaluation of benefits and risks, big data analysis, administrative data assessment, risk management, causal relationship investigations, longitudinal studies, and benefit-risk assessments will be explored to provide a holistic perspective on this critical public health issue.
2. Clinical effectiveness and safety of cancer immunotherapy.
3. Parental medication exposure and offspring health outcomes.
This Research Topic will help to identify emerging leaders and allow the community to follow the aspiring careers of our emerging, talented researchers, in alignment with the objectives of the above collection.
